SOME THOUGHTS. TAKE 'EM FOR WHAT THEY ARE WORTH (AND I DON'T EVER CLAIM A VALUE ON MY THOUGHTS!) POLITICAL ACTIVISM WITHOUT BEING INFORMED IS JUST A LOT OF ENERGY WITHOUT AN UNDERSTOOD PURPOSE.
IF ONE IS GOING TO BE PUBLICLY VOCAL, MAKE SURE ONE HAS RESEARCHED, LISTENED, READ MANY VIEWS, AND FEELS CONFIDENT IN ONE'S UNDERSTANDING OF A SITUATION. OTHERWISE, IT'S JUST DANGEROUS "GROUPTHINK."
A LOT OF SELF-IDENTIFIED "POLITICAL ACTIVISTS" ARE JUST POLITICAL, BUT NOT ACTIVE. POLITICAL ACTIVISM REQUIRES ACTIVITY. (WHICH IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF PASSIVELY ABSORBING VIEWS OF PEOPLE WE THINK WE LIKE JUST SO WE ARE LIKED BY THOSE PEOPLE). ACTIVELY LISTENING TO ALL VIEWS POSSIBLE, ACTIVELY RESEARCHING ALL SIDES BY USING NUMEROUS NEWS SOURCES, (NOT JUST A FAVORITE BLOG OR TWO OR A COUPLE FUN TV SHOWS), ACTIVELY ANALYZING AND CRITICALLY THINKING, ACTIVELY REGISTERING TO VOTE, ACTIVELY GETTING TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY.
DO YOUR OWN THINKING, BUT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MANY'S WORDS. LEARN ACTIVELY. IF WE ALL DO THIS, AND GET TO POLLS, I HAVE GREAT HOPE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND WORLD.
-CHERYL KIRKING; BE INFORMED. ACTIVELY.
