I held leadership positions with a PAC and a county party. There is a constant conflict between the motivated and the apathetic that weighs everyone else down. Too often the apathetic are motivated just enough to run for and win leadership roles. That's not to say that their aren't some really really good people in leadership roles, too.

But when I found myself slowly joining the ranks of the apathetic, I disengaged. I was becoming part of what I saw the problem as. I just need to recharge, I suppose. Fortunately I have a little more cash these days to contribute.
