I'm not partisan and I have no intention of helping any political party with their campaign and I have no intention of running for any office. Then again, I'm just 24.
What does interest you with politics then?
Grass roots for me. Community based projects run by the community, for the benefit of the community. Our biggest project to date is the installation of a children's play area. This year we won funding for an area near the park to have benches etc. We use our elected officials to our benefit. I call this kind of stuff 'real politics'.

I think "politics" suggests some degree of conflict among those grappling for power. What you're talking about is 'real civic engagement,' which is different, and in the grand scheme of things probably more important. On the local level I think of it more as governance and community involvement. I am a big supporter of people being most involved and passionate about their communities, states and regions, and less obsessed by national media and national politics and associated entertainment.
FYI my answer was "high ranking government job" because it came closest.

I worked on both of Perot's campaigns, 1992 and 96 and in 1996 I was a Perot elector for the state of Georgia. Had Ross won Georgia I would have cast one electoral vote for him. Outside of that my political activity has been just voting in each and every election beginning with my first presidential vote for Barry Goldwater in 1964.
I am a mid-level Illuminati member and have attended many Bilderberger meetings as an observer. Therefore I have more political influence in international politics than Obama.
A few years ago I was at a local political event standing there shooting the breeze with nice, congenial grey haired gent. A little way into the conversation he stuck out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Barry Goldwater."
I had already stuck out my hand but double checked myself and took a good look at him to make sure I hadn't been talking to some kook. He sure looked like Barry Goldwater and the words "I thought you were dead" were on my lips when he said "Junior".:lamo
