Many of us were told early on by our parents never to discuss politics in public. But, at Election 2000, women are breaking that taboo and sharing their ideas, opinions and personal stories. Recently we asked iVillagers how they first became interested and involved in politics.
Every story is different, but they are all inspiring.
At Election 2000, we invite you to follow these members' example and get involved. The first time I saw my Dad cry was during the news coverage of Anwar Sadat's assassination. I remember the first year I watched a political campaign closely. We had just bought our first TV, and I was probably 13 years old. The Republican National Convention was on, and 'I like Ike' signs were everywhere.
