You may have noticed I switched the Fifth Tuesday Art Project with a blog posting about Voting. Voting is something I very, very strongly about. So much so, I have lost three months of art and writing supporting the local political process. I took up politics as an “art project”.
Am I happy about everyone elected? No, of course not. But unless we make a stand, all of us – learning, working, and, dang nab it, leading – things are not going to change.
Personally, I got tired of seeing a dearth of women on the ballot. Like 10% or less from major parties. Dudes, really?
I got angry – stupid angry. So stupid angry, I ran for office; so stupid angry, I won.
The next four years ought to be interesting. It is a minor county office here in North Carolina, one of five on a council, but it is my office.
Things have better change soon, because I’m not done being angry and the next office might not be so little. Just saying.
