An organization dared hire me

What a relief, finally a full time job. And even better it's one that I thoroughly enjoy. I never thought that I would be a full time lobbyist, especially not one for gun rights. I have always kept close to the politics through papers, blogs and talk radio. It has always been a concern of mine to be at least a close observer and to formulate my own views and opinions on matters that come up. But I never foresaw myself as being this closely involved in them. I say closely because I believe that we are all involved in politics in some manner whether we know the issues or not. Whether or not we vote, campaign or speak aloud. We all part on some level just simply by being apart of this experiment called America. By practicing inalienable rights that we take for granted. By being protected by laws that give us a voice and given trials among a court of our fellow citizens.

I better stop myself from ranting on like an intolerable bore and to get back to what I started out to do. I could pontificate all day on things that have been said and practiced but much wiser men with much more eloquence than I am able of. But it is exciting to see things happen so close to me. Like being in the operating room with a skilled surgeon, each day I spend time with amazing people who are making things happen that effects us all. Its both exciting and frightening in a lot of different ways. Because I am able to witness those who are out to destroy the things we take for granted, to bring foreign policy to our domestic law, to enforce international treaties that subjugate our own constitution. To welcome internationalization with open arms and a mind free for each and every worthless opinion that spills into their heads.

Working with Gun Owners of America is a good start. I agree with just about every facet of their mission statement and creed. But I could not foresee myself at this point staying with them forever. I care about to many other things to stay on one issue, perhaps thats just the young man in me that wants new things all the time. Or it could possible be that it is a feeling that will never go away.

This is in no way my entry speech to entering the foray of politics as a life long profession. I still have dreams to write my music, my thoughts and my fiction. But I know for certain that they will all be effected by this work. They will all hold close to these truths, which is exactly how I view my life as a whole. Closed on the word of God, held firm by salvation and encountered each day with temptations, struggles, joy, love and passion. I feel a calm as of late, and that surely means that there is a storm in store for me. I am trepidous of its arrival but confident in my provider. We will see what things are in store.
