I looked into getting involved with politics here, I don't know how it works in the states but here they ask that you make a donation of your yearly earnings to the party and I forget exactly how much off the top of my head- but it was something around 10% of what you earned, which was a LOT when I first looked into it and my wage was relatively low.
Local politics is something I'm really passionate about, national politics never really interested me that much. It's definately something i'd look into again in the future, but def. not any time soon. You have to have money just to be involved with them in the first place.
