Craig MiddletonPublished 5 years ago in The Swamp5 Things You Need When Running a Political Campaign
Have you ever thought that running a political campaign would be easy? Some of my less-political friends seem to think so. I think it’s probably a problem of naivety, because a lot of people try to run for office, and many of them withdraw before the contest really even gets going. Campaigns involve influencing masses to go to the polls and vote for one person. That, in and of itself, is a large undertaking. Factor in that other people are vying for that same influence on the same target market, and can really make things complex. Before starting a political campaign, here are some few essential things that you should know.
Kevin GardnerPublished 5 years ago in The Swamp10 Ways to Support Democrats in 2018
Emotions surrounding the 2016 Presidential election are still high. The juxtaposition of extreme views brought previously festering issues to the foreground, and many people's perspectives on the country they live in were changed in its wake. As a result, it's more important than ever for citizens everywhere to make their voices heard, and push the change we want to see in our country. The midterm elections certainly do not get the same spotlight and popular attention that Presidential elections do, but they are no less important. In fact, they play a truly crucial role in our ability to exact change in trying times. To that end, here are a number of ways to support Democrats in 2018, because it's not just the White House that makes the big decisions: With our system of checks and balances, Republicans in Congress are just as important as a Republican incumbent in the White House, if not more so.

Nick CarterPublished 6 years ago in The SwampHow to Deal with the Fear or Anger of Donald Trump's Presidency
I saw a post the other day on social media, where someone who I know to be generally kind-hearted voiced that they had become so disheartened with the mentality of Trump supporters that they had been asking how to proceed with compassion. The post, in general, made me terribly sad, but I responded, despite an enormous amount of reservation in sharing thoughts on this because peace is usually not met well in a state of such turbulence. It can be difficult for either side to empathize with each other, and I speak from the side that does not support Trump, nor his actions, but I also speak with a message of compassion for all those who have become disheartened, angry, or fearful.
Ocean Pollution
Tons of plastic and other debris that are carelessly dumped into our oceans are swirling in currents, breaking into smaller components and never going away. The world's oceans are covered in trash that either degrades and sinks to the bottom or drifts onto our shores. Marine debris has a massive impact on not only wildlife, but humans as well. Sea turtles, seals, sea lions, seagulls, whales, and dolphins are only five of the marine animals dying from our plastic trash. These creatures depend on us—why are we being so shellfish?
