<p>**Volunteered HEAVILY for a local resident's bid for Congress <a href="Now%0ARepresentative%20Mike%20Jackson%20of%20State%20House%20Seat%2040">/b</a>. Campaign included
door-to-door confrontation, sign postings, and any other general voter
aid. Campaign work was also done on the side for Local Senator Patrick
Anderson, and Federal Senator Tom Coburn (all candidates of these
Conservative candidates were elected). I learned SO MUCH about
politics during this time and gained a lot of faith in my community's
ability to vote for the right people.</p>
<p>**Started the "Citizens for Enid Tax Payers" PAC which is fighting
Washington D.C. union interests from barging its way into our city
government<a href="HUGE%20local%20issue%20here;%20there%20are%20currently%20four%0Arecalls%20going%20on%20in%20Enid%20against%20our%20mayor%20and%20three%20other%0ACouncilmen">/b</a>. We have gotten editorials in our city newspaper, spoken
at City Council meetings, and even campaigned for our officials in
local rallies. This is a touchy issue and unfortunetly at the heart
of it are our hard-working city employees. We will fight, however,
against a union from ever harming our local representation and need
for efficient management of City Services.</p>

<p>FAILED E.C.'S --</p>
<p>** High School Debate Team E.C. ** -- Our school only goes to
three tournaments a year (two during Junior year) and I was a finalist
only at the novice level. However, after the competition got ahead of
me I never really did so well. I spent 20+ hours a week researching
for the topics during my junior year (buying as much resource material
as I could afford), but since never got to debate anyone for practice
until the actual contest took place, I never placed above 8th in
Varsity Debate. I feel dissapointed I didn't do so well for the work
I put into it, but only my results matter so I suppose Harvard will
never know.</p>
<p>Class-Officer Presidential Nominee in 10th grade, Vice-Presidential
Nominee in 11th Grade( My sophomore year I lost horribly, but my
junior year I actually went around and met as many people as I could
by shaking their hands, introducing myself, and telling them how I
planned to govern if I was to be elected. I also spent loads of time
(and ink) on "funny posters"/campaign material and came EXTREMELY
close to winning given the circumstances of my "uncoolness". Unlike
most schools, our elections have forced voting so you can't
just get all of your friends to vote you in office (everyone has to
like you). Rumour has it that I came within 10 votes of winning, and
this experience truly changed the way I viewed politics for the
better.</p>
<p>I have no legacy and am a white male. For Harvard, would I have above
average chances of being accepted under-grad?</p>
<p>I would like to think my extra-curricular acitivities stand out among
those of other applicants because most "political students" fight for
liberal causes (academic culture is predominatly liberal, so Harvard
needs Conservative balance). I am EXTREMELY passionate about what I
believe to be an ongoing fight to preserve our Constitution and its
principles: a limited government that exists to protect our individual
rights, entrust the American People, and provides us a fair and free
market place for maximum social mobility. I am most similar to Ronald
Reagan in my political views. I know most people on this board might
disagree with me, as well as 90% of Harvard, but will this College
accept me for who I am and the diverse discourse I would add to their
campus?</p>
