My name is Jason. I got out of the Army last summer, and loved the Austin area and decided to stick around. I'm originally from West Virginia, and attended Marshall University. We Are.....Marshall!! I spent my last year in the Army in Korea, and it was a great overall experience. As far as my political point of view, I have always considered myself and independant, but absolutely lean to the left. Since I've lived in Austin, I have been very intrigued by how liberal a city Austin is in such a conservative state. I have voted since I was 18. During my time in Korea, it was very hard to keep up with the election becasue so much of the TV that we were allowed to see was censored. It almost seemed like the Army would show more conservative ads on purpose. I currently do not know anything about politics in Texas, but hope that by the end of this class that I'm much more knowledgable.
