I went to a Town hall - my first - recently. Small turnout, maybe 50 people. Mostly mature/older. It is clear how power mongers and psychos get into these authoritative government positions because few bother to show up and stand up. It is imperative that CRITICAL THINKING, EVERYDAY CITIZENS MUST PARTICIPATE TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN COMMUNITIES AND GOVT! IT MUST BE GRASS ROOTS. IT MUST BE NOW.
I was inspired to get into a career in politics because of a series of un-forgetable dreams that I have had where I was President of the United States. I've started taking these dreams very seriously and stumbled upon this wonderful youtube channel. May everyone who reads this text be filled with the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Mr. Townsend.
Jay,all this information is extremely helpful. Every single video on your channel is rich in knowledge. I don't know why you do what you do,but you are such a big help to those with an interest in politics like myself.
@@amer1canalex thank you. You are welcome. A lot of people take to their grave the gold between their ears. I’m going to give all mine away before I pass. J
I was born in Puerto Rico, first language it’s Spanish so obviously my Spanish more fluent than my English. But I have a strong impulse if I may call it that to be a voice and fight for what I believe and to keep America great. Can I as a Puerto Rican be involved in politics or better yet start a career in politics?
Absolutely. It will be easier if you live in a jurisdiction with a sizable number of Puerto Ricans, but you are allowed run run anywhere as long as you are a U.S. Citizen.

@@danielcax2806 vital asset. Not sure what you mean by virtual. That gets you in the door. It doesn’t get you the job. Candidates are particular about their cabinet. They like people who are competent, bright, knowledgeable, sensitive to their political needs, and loyal.
@@jaytownsend22 I meant value, like as you stated gathering those qualities would make a campaign leader more valuable in his/her chances of getting a cabinet spot.
Hello Mr. Townsend, I’m currently heading into my senior year of high school. Over the past couple of years I have been very engaged in politics. I would love to pursue politics one day and maybe run for office. I plan on buying some books that I found online that really do a deep dive into how the House of Representatives and the Senate. I also plan on majoring in political science in college. I know you have said to keep an open mind and learn as much as you can about the government and how it works. Are there any other crucial areas where you think I should pay more attention to?
If you are interested in the Senate or Congress, get in the habit of reading politico, the NYTimes and Wall Street Journal. Read the opinion colums and expose yourself to both liberal and conservative thought. Read the Art of War by Sun Tzu, bioagraphies of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan--four of the most consequential Presidents since 1860. That's a start. When you need more let me know. Jay

How dose someone get a prosion in your candidate's cabinet (if they win) like vice mayor or lieutenant governor ?
Your candidate chooses the people for these positions, whom he/she will best do the job.

@@jaytownsend22 So networking and proving yourself a virtual asset to the candidate/party ❔
