Take advantage of geographical location, engage in politics
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 7:26PM It’s an election year.
It’s January.
And we’re in South Carolina.
Therefore, as you may have noticed, a barrage of GOP candidate hopefuls have made trips to the Palmetto state, including visits to Winthrop. Primary candidate hopefuls Michele Bachmann, Hermain Cain and Rick Santorum have all been campaigning in the Rock Hill area recently.
So what does this have to do with you, a Winthrop student?
Well, if you’re not planning on voting, then nothing.
If, however, you decide to cast a vote in the Jan. 21 GOP primary election, make sure you know what’s up with your candidate. Seek out their policies and plans for the future, employing reliable sources (not just commercials from his opponent).
Attend some of the candidates’ visits to Rock Hill, Fort Mill or wherever they happen to park the Winnebago. Shake his hand, hear him speak live and make sure he’s “the one.”
Just take advantage of our proximity to the candidates, even if you’re not voting Republican.
