#21A POPULISM #21B SERVICE TO OTHERS
“The People -- Yes!” This sums up my trust in the collective wisdom and resourcefulness of the people. “Together, We Are Strong!” This embodies my faith that--though they struggle to do so--they’ll triumph over outside forces wanting to divide them, dominate their workplaces and wrest power from communities seeking to democratically control their own affairs. I recognize their hard work and promote their continuing education. Like Jefferson, I feel that common people are “the most honest and safe... depository of the public interests”  I value and admire those who wish to serve others, either out of a sense of civic duty, a desire to give something back to the community, or simply because they care about people suffering and struggling and want to help.  While not all of us can run for public office, work for a non profit community service organization, or volunteer to help the sick, deprived, uneducated, etc--we can show our support for dedicated public servants and groups that do.  At times I have felt good about giving my own time and energy or charitable contribution to aid such efforts.
