Читать книгу A Small Group of Change. - Chelsea Elizabeth - Страница 4

Sarah looks around and cannot believe her luck, not only did she get a job working on a campaign this summer, but she got a job with her favorite candidate, Moses Schwartz. She knows that everyone seems to think that he is a big joke, but he is gaining on Bunker, so clearly he is doing something right. Sarah loves the fact that America seems to be ready for a socialist Jew to take over and run the country. Even if all of America isn't ready, the fact that he is still a serious candidate, that he hasn't dropped out, and is getting the numbers to keep Bunker fighting means that there are a least a significant number of people who are tired. Tired of everyone lying, and tired of everyone only looking out for themselves. Schwartz represents that Americans are not going to let their country be destroyed by people who don't care about them. People realize that religion isn't everything and that we are all different, it doesn't mean that we can't come together on the important issues.

This means that maybe America is changing, maybe America is beginning to realize that there is nothing wrong with helping your neighbors and fellow Americans, maybe America is beginning to understand that religion has no place is politics and that Schwartz is qualified for this position and should not be deemed ineligible just because of his religion.

Sarah understands that the world is not as nice and perfect as she likes to pretend, but she believes that America is beginning to change, and she is happy to be part of that change.

Sarah honestly believes that there will be serious change, and that Schwartz will be the one to bring about that change. Even if all she contributes to that change is coffee and copies, at least she will be there, helping create the change.

Sarah knows that her friends are laughing at her, thinking she is going to lose the bet, but she doesn't care, she knows that Schwartz is the best candidate and therefore Sarah will happily work for him, even if he does not win.

The point of politics is to represent the people and run the government, and Schwartz clearly represents a large amount of people and therefore helping with his campaign will help better the political world. Sarah knows that her friends think that she is crazy and naive for thinking that this is how to make a change, but Sarah believes that if there is something wrong with the system that the answer isn't just to complain but rather work hard to change the system. Sarah knows that Schwartz might not win, and that the system is stacked against him, but she appreciates that he is willing to keep fighting anyways, that is something she can be proud of.

Fighting for the issues, and not just to win is something that she can appreciate and that is the point of this campaign, which is something she is proud to put her name behind. The people need to seriously start discussing issues and not just the personalities or the names that are running. That is what Schwartz is trying to accomplish and Sarah is happy to help him reach that goal.

"Come on newbie, get on a phone and a computer and get to work!" Another campaign worker yells at Sarah shocking her into work.

"Right away!" Sarah sits down at the desk assigned to her and picks up the phone, getting to work.
