“Politics” a very controversial issue. Since I remember I always have heard that to talk about politics or religion is very controversial issue. I have had the opportunity in several occasions to heard people having arguments about politics, but I never been involved myself in the kind of issues until now.

Lately, I started working in a political campaign making calls to the voters, and I’m having the experience to talk with a lot of people that have a very different points of view. Sometimes the voters turn very aggressive in their responses when I ask them what they think about certain propositions that will be in the ballot.

I’m working promoting certain propositions, and part of my job is to ask for support for this propositions, and explain to the voter what will be the benefits of these measures, for example there is a proposition that will raise revenues for schools and public safety, but when explain this to voters; they don’t have faith in government and they don’t trust that the money will be use for its purpose and they want guarantee that the fund is going to go directly to the schools, because they think the money goes to the politicians.

Another example how controversial politics is. It’s the way how the parties work their ways to get the voter support. They use tactics that some times I would call them a dirty way to do it, because they lie about the statements they post in propaganda against their opponents. Leaving The voters very confuse on what is the right decision to take.

But what can I say “It’s Politics”
