Politics is my hopeful future.

Ever sense President Obama has been elected the thought of running for elected office had seriously crossed my mind. But then i thought who would elect an openly gay man to office. The country is just to conservative, and i would be laughed off of the political stage. It wasn't until that i heard about the story of Harvey Milk.

His story brought me hope and a dream that if he was able to do it, than so can I. Milk, being the first openly gay male elected to major public office really gave me that spark that i needed to ignite the fire of political interest in me.

After seeing his movie, it just really brought me to tears because it is just so personal. There is one quote from a speech that he gave on the steps of the San Francisco city hall that is just my favorite. " Hope can never be silenced, we have to give to the young gay people in this country, because if we do not give it to them, no one will. And without hope they have nothing to look forward toward, but a life of injustice and cruelty." - Harvey Milk.

It is because of him that later in the future is wish to call


the capitol as my work place.

And with time and determination, this place

my home, and office.
