I've voted in every election I've been able to, and always encourage others to vote as well.
I read up on candidates so I can make a more informed decision.
I've participated in several peace marches.
I've never emailed or called a political figure; I did once have a very nice conversation from a local politician who was going door to door, and I voted for her. And I'll vote for her again.
I've never gone to see a speech or anything by a politician because frankly, the people who tend to make speeches here are all Republican and I'm a Democrat and I'd probably just get riled up. Presidential nominees hardly ever make stops here because they already know the outcome, not to mention we only have 3 electoral votes.
I still consider myself politically active though, especially considering that more people don't vote than do.
