The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. -Walt Disney
This blog is entirely non-political and I intend to keep it that way, but tonight I was given the opportunity to hear Kate Walsh (Addison from Grey’s Anatomy and the star of Private Practice!) speak on behalf of the Penn Democrats organization on campus, and I was both impressed and inspired. Not only is she a very beautiful woman, but she also spoke very eloquently and appropriately given the college audience. Her brief description of the various ways she’s been involved, including her work for the Obama campaign during the primaries, was surprisingly “grass roots” and she encouraged all of us to get involved in any way we can.
Okay so the lighting is strange and I’m looking at the wrong camera but you get the point. Whether we are passionate about healthcare, women’s rights, the economy, the war in Iraq, the Supreme Court, or any of the other issues that the candidates’ opinions differ on, it’s critical that we get out there, get involved, and vote! Our nation is going to face (and is already facing) some very complex challenges, and while these problems may threaten the country, they also provide an opportunity for rising generations to take action and find innovative and amazing solutions.
Consider this my token “how innovation relates to politics” entry. Now, go register if you haven’t already!
