Run For Dog Catcher

In the 1950’s, my Mother was working to get the “Vote Out”!  Seems, that everybody volunteered to do their part in helping,  and  me  “new” to the political game,   had a million  questions? My #1  question is   WHY?    That’s because  you are told; who, what, where, how   –  but never   WHY!

So, if I wanted to get in to  the “Political Game”   – how do I start?   And,  this is the answer  I was given.  Go downtown and  register to be put on the “Ballot” and   select “For Dog Catcher”,  select your “Party” choice  and pay your $100.00 entry fee.   So,  how does that get me into the “Political Game”?   When the people vote    –  they usually “Vote”  the straight   “Party”  ticket.  When   that happens,   no matter where you are on the ticket, “You are in like Flynn!”

From then on  –  You go to meetings,    you  are seen,  you may not  know  exactly what you are   doing  – but you are   “Paid” for doing   nothing.    And, if you are a good “Follower”,  you will  continue to   be told   what  to  do,   – when  –   where  –    not “WHY”?    That’s another question?
