The evolution of my political ideology has been interesting to say the least. As with most people, my initial venture into the political realm was that of things I had learned during school, and what I had seen on television.

As time progressed, the views I held have become refined and/or changed. The first real feeling of politics was during my high school government class, where I helped other students to volunteer during the 2000 election to work the phone banks. In the following years, up through the 2004 election, I discovered the blogosphere.

I ran a moderately successful conservative blog, but in the years since, with changes in my views, and a greater understanding, I became separated from the views I expressed, and closed the blog. Now, as the 2008 election season is in full swing, I have the political bug again so to speak. Drawing me towards a career in politics, I have stepped out of the shadows with Anthony-Fuller.com and decided to be more public, with more accountability than that of a blogging pseudonym.

With this being said, I have had many influences in shaping my political ideology. They are as follows:

	Winston Churchill
	Ronald Reagan
	George Washington
	John Adams
	Thomas Jefferson
	Benjamin Franklin
