My Grandmother Was Also An Active Member Of The Tenants Association And A Staunch Supporter Of The Democratic Party, And Both Of My Parents Were Extremely Liberal, So I Think I Grew Up In A Household That Was Very Politically Conscious - We All Watched The Elections On Tv, And We Watched The Debates. So It Was An Awareness That We Were Raised With, And As We Grew Into Young Adults, We Just Naturally Became Politically Active. It Was Just Understood That It Was Important, That It Was Our Responsibility.

Grandmother

I Campaigned For [barack] Obama For More Than A Year. I Was In Iowa, Minnesota, California, Arizona - Just Traveling Around To Help Get The Word Out. It Was Such A Huge, Spirited Campaign, And So Positive. But You Travel Around To Cities In The U.s. Now And There's Just This Hopelessness That Has Set In. It Makes It Hard To Understand Why It Seems So Impossible To Make Any Kind Of Progressive Change With An Administration That Is Seemingly Progressive, Or Why We Keep Encountering Such Political Roadblocks To Change.
