Some politicians sincerely want to serve the people, others seem to be in it to protect their personal interests. When something important is at stake, will your politician do what's right? Will your representative at the local, state, or national level seek to serve the interests of his or her constituents? Does your voice matter, or is it insignificant?
There is a new organization that is meant to give small business owners, everyone who wants a voice a chance to be heard. When it comes to business and helping us all get back on track economically, the President is not listening. The people in his administration are not listening. Oh, they hear you. That is why they send out the rhetoric that they do, made to sound a lot like they are doing the right things that are best for the country, and YOU are impeding them. They're off the rails. They're not listening.
As more of these people get voted out of office (and many career politicians need to be), your voice will be heard. Gather your friends and neighbors together. Go out in your community and post signs for the person you want to replace your representative who is NOT representing you. I did, everywhere I could. Go to rallies and community events. Make some noise, ask important questions, ask embarrassing questions. Don't be afraid. We must make our elected representatives accountable for their behaviors and their voting practices that are supposed to be on our behalf. If they're not listening, make your voice heard.
When my wife wrote letters to our representative and we received back letters that indicated they were going to do what they pleased, disregarding how we felt, we decided that it was time to go out and help the other fellow get elected. We didn't care about politics as much before, but we were motivated, because they weren't REALLY REPRESENTING us. That fellow doesn't represent us anymore. He lost that job. I like to think that I played a small part in helping that happen in my own community. We talk to our representative when we go to events. We expect him to listen. Expect more of your elected representatives. Go out and help campaigns.
We are not a a DEMOCRACY. Democracy is chaos. We are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC. This system depends on YOU knowing what is going on in your locality and state, and in the nation, and voting for people who will do the right things. If you are a good man or woman it may even depend on YOU going out and running for office. Please, get involved! We can make this entire nation BETTER; it is a great nation. It just needs more of our help right now.
You need to know about this organization. They want to help give you a voice. I've heard about them a few times recently and want to get the word out if I can:
