I spent yesterday at Placer High School for the "Rock the Vote" campaign. I don't think I need to explain it too much because I covered this ground last week. (see: last week)

I enjoyed fielding questions from the students in regards to political policy (see Socrates: corrupting the youth) as well as giving my own opinion when asked. I did find, as I suspected, that all four representatives, as well as the students, really want the same thing... a more democratic, consistent, and transparent government that truly meets the needs of the people. We all have differing thoughts on how to accomplish this goal... but in the end we all want what's best.

I encourage the younger folks to run for office themselves. To get the old guard out and get some new ideas in.... God knows the old ones have had their chance.

Suffice to say:

Thank you, seniors of Placer High. I appreciate the chance to come to your school and take time out of your already busy day to talk to you about registering yourselves to vote. However you vote and with whomever you register with... the important thing is to vote.

Del Oro was pretty cool last week... but you guys were awesome.

Peace,
