How to get involved in politics?

[VoteRonPaul2008]

Ron Paul is the first candidate that really speaks to me, he inspired me to get into politics. How do I start (I'm a college student right now) what position should I try to get, what classes? any help?

You're not likely to get trained very well on the following from a college. This is going to be a very big self-learning adventure for you. Here are my suggestions:

First, learn our American Tradition. This is the best book about it I've found and you can read it online right now for free:

The American Ideal of 1776:
The Twelve Basic American Principles

Then learn our Constitution:

Buy this book ... Good To Be King: The Foundation of Our Constitutional Freedom, by Michael Badnarik

http://www.amazon.com/Good-Be-King-...d_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202606086&sr=8-1

Get this 12-hour Constitution Class ...

If you can attend, take Michael Badnarik's live class:

The above will give you a stable base of America's roots and Supreme Law.

Next, learn where we are and where we are going:

Listen to these shows:

http://freetalklive.com (Listen to all archived shows)

http://davechampionshow.com/archives.php (Listen to all archived shows)

http://www.americanradioshow.us/archive.html (Listen to all archived shows)

When you get the above under your belt, you will be qualified to be Ron Paul Politician. And as America continues to wake up, you'll be positioned to be very electable as Americans hear what you have to say.

Good luck. I wish you success!

If you have the mind for it study mathematics and engineering, with possibly some business courses to help you be more marketable.

Those are the two subjects that essentially can't be corrupted by collectivism.

Learn your history and economics and such on your own.

Join your college Republican Club.

And above all else watch this video!

Consider running for city council.. at the very least, start attending their meetings. It may (most likely will) be pretty boring, but you'll get a feel for how business is handled.
