Shake It Up

The world of politics is constantly in motion.

Normally this involves various pieces of legislation that are moving up through the capitol. Then, as the election season approaches, all the attention shifts to the candidates who are popping up all over the place to run for office.

This year it's a little different.

Thanks to the 2010 Census, virtually all of our political district boundaries are changing. From the US congress to the city council, "Who's in what district?" is a good question. This is especially true for state legislative districts all across the country, as well as the politicians who are holding those offices.

Sometimes seats open up when new districts are created, which means a level playing field among fresh candidates. And at other times, incumbents find themselves running against each other, fighting to be the last one standing when all the motion stops.

The good news for bikers is that the more boundaries change, the more pro-repeal candidates we can help get elected. And, it means the more nanny-crat legislators we can kick out of office. When it comes to changing district boundaries, there are always winners and losers.

Our job is to find the best opportunities in this rapidly changing political landscape. As long as we're ready to pounce, we'll make some serious progress towards the one thing that will restore our right to decide: A legislative majority.

Want to shake things up? See you on the campaign trail.
