We're still basking in the Super Tuesday glow and the media has been blasting us with polls, numbers, charts, maps and issue analysis. They have dissected each candidate, their every statement, move and gesture.

Aside from all the punditry and regardless of who you are voting
for, there is something in the air that is quite powerful and deserves
notice. This election cycle has given us brought a diverse range of
candidates, increased participation across a broad spectrum of voters,
and a ever-growing public dialogue - a new conversation that resonates beyond the political landscape.

The message is clear, we can grab hold of the momentum and energy
surrounding the election and use it to create our community as much by
participating in our political process, as through our everyday
actions. This year, more people than ever are asking questions,
researching the issues, sharing their opinions, raising their voices,
and recognizing their responsibility to participate in creating the
community they want to be a part of - as voting Americans and as
individuals working to build our lives, careers, families, businesses
and communities.

Here are some suggestions to get you on your way!

• Participate in Caucuses and Primaries In most cases, you
  must be affiliated with a party or a local party organization. Check
  with your local party office about the regulations. There is still time
  in some states!

• Register to Vote If you have not yet registered to vote - now's the time to register!
  And while you are at it, make sure your friends and family have
  registered. Don't wait or you won't have a voice in November!

• Join the Conversation Watch the debates,
  listen to the pundits, read the analysis of the issues, start a
  conversation with your friends and family. It is a great way to become
  more educated and to share your knowledge!

• Volunteer If you're inspired by a candidate and
  think he or she represents your view of the issues. Head over to the
  candidate's website. Most have made it very easy for you to participate
  in a number of ways. If you haven't found your candidate yet - you can
  still volunteer with groups like Rock the Vote to help increase voter registration. And you can also volunteer at the polls!

• Attend Events Go to rallies and events with the candidates.
  Ask questions, bring friends and colleagues. Make sure you can make an
  educated decision in November.

• Go to the Web Read up on political websites and blogs like Real Clear Politics, The Huffington Post, Politico, FactCheck, PolichicksOnline. Then add to the dialogue on your own blog and encourage others to join in.

• Make it Fun Gather your friends for political socials for
  events like Super Tuesday, debates and to watch returns, etc - make it
  fun to be a part of the process!

The 2008 election will break ground on many different levels - make it a part of your personal revolution to a part of it!
