What "political" things have you done?

I have not, not really.  I ran for like a student government position in school once, that was it.

I have never been to a rally or a protest, because I am not crazy.

I have never donated to a campaign (see above)

I have signed some petitions.  I think the last one was to raise min wage (lame).  I did sign one for gambling and I think I signed on for legalizing pot.

I have never put up a yard sign, because that is just odd.  

What about you guys?

15 years of posting. Upwards of 20,000 posts in a political section of a message board ostensibly dedicated to football, out of 31,000 total posts.  (This is from knapper, I also am a big poster in politics)

I was on student council in like 8th or 9th grade. Don’t recall having to “run” for it. Think if you were stupid enough to volunteer, you were in.

Went to a city council meeting one time to protest/stop something they were considering. Can’t even remember what it was.

Have never done yard signs or campaigned. Have never contributed to a politician or anything political. I regularly vote and that’s it. Well, I don’t want to sell myself short….there are all my stellar contributions in the HB political forum (which I have grown tired of lately).

 
I did attend the vigil put on by the Tri-faith Initiative in Omaha when Trump was on a mission to ban Muslims from entering the US.  
 

I had tickets to see Clinton speak at UNK back in 99/00 but gut drunk and passed out without setting my alarm.  Whoops!

I was also on Student Court in college.  Nothing exciting except letting the cute girls out of parking tickets!

Ha!!

f#&%, your post made me remember that I was our schools "Student Council Moderator" for a year.  

I HAVE got out of model UN and Harvard Model Congress.  But one comes with a free trip to Chicago(great city, bad band) and other to Boston (bad city, great band)

You've been an active participant in HuskerBoard's Politics forum for over a decade. Most of your posts are in that forum.

Why is that?

To kill time.

I don't really look at that as being involved with politics.  Just like I post in our Locks of the week, but I am not really a big gambler.  

What about you?  Where would you rank yourself in terms of political involvement?

I mean, I literally listed out my political involvement, which is for the most part pretty tame.

Unless you count posting on a football site as significant?  In that case, I am literally the most politically involved person all of you know. 

None of us want that.

I will list this with my signing of some petitions as far as political involvement!  I guess this bumps me up a notch!    I also guess I did chance one dudes stance on abortion, so I guess it is sort of important. 

What about you?  What is your political involvement level?

Also, I have that many posts?  Ugggg, kinda sad, but it would be way more if I posted more during games!
