Community Action

I, Sophie Smith, along with the Right Direction Party, believe that we cannot sit back and watch while the Earth is slowly destroyed.  Something must be done.  At the moment, in our lifetimes, this planet is all we have.  Myself, and my party are commited to take action against these shadowy threats of pollution, global warming, and destruction.
        
We strive to be true to our word, and not make empty promises.  With that statement, we ourselves will step up and make the first steps toward a cleaner campus.  Every bit helps, when it comes to changing the world.

If life is full of hatred and violence, it will take that little bit from everyone to change.  Every state, city, town, school, and why not start here?
        
There are so many chances to become involved in community, and reach out to those around us using the core Quaker values we have been taught.  If we are elected, more opportunities will be given to lend a helping hand.  Just down the street is the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, where project time groups go to learn and share experiences with the students.  Though we will never know exactly what this is like for them, we can connect.  Reaching out can be as small as a smile, or as large as saving a life.  If the Right Direction Party would assume office, we would create more opportunities for this kind of community action.
       
We believe that animals have the right to be happy and healthy, as much as humans do. We have domesticated them; it is only fair that we take care of them, now that they need us.  Animal abuse is not a laughing matter.  It is truly sad and horrible.  In our community, we can take the steps to help these creatures in need of love.

Most of you have heard of a man named Aesop, famous for his fables, mostly regarding animals and their wisdom.  His words are still remembered today, for their morals and lessons.  One of his most famous passages is this: “No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.”  If we take this piece of wisdom to heart- if we are willing to reach out, to be kind, we will receive kindness in return.  The Right Direction Party will always be kind and compassionate to you, and be considerate of each and every one of your views.  With the Right Direction Party, you will always have a choice.
