Over the last couple of years, I have become more aware of things like this happening and I have been educating myself on the political process, how laws are enacted, researching special interest groups and lobbyists, etc.  I have read everything printed on consensual crimes, and on laws enacted to protect competent adults from themselves.



Instead of merely voting occasionaly like many people, I have joined my chosen political party, actively write letters to my congressman and senators on the issues, and frequently write letters to the editor of the Atlanta papers, etc. I take a lot of teasing about being such a political animal, but if I don't voice my opinion no one else will.



The next step for me is to volunteer on projects and/or campaigns.  Who knows?  Someday, I might even run for office!
