Recently letters regarding student involvement have appeared in the Alestle. Today, I would like to suggest student involvement of a different sort political activism.
Many people complain about taxes, crime, and other perceived problems of society.
However, they rarely do something about it. Therefore I would like to suggest that Alestle readers and other students become active in politics on and off campus. Students who are involved in political activities make a difference in their communities each day. They have the ability to help candidates win elections and to stand up for their beliefs. It is difficult to describe the satisfaction one can obtain by standing up for something he or she believes in order to help a certain candidate win an election.
