I was listening to someone today who was exposing on what we need to do to save our country.
It sort of boiled down to getting involved. I have not attended a city council meeting here since I moved to this area 10 years ago.
I have not attended a county council meeting or a school board meeting.
I have written by legislators (both state and local and the President) but only one responds.
But the answer, this gentlemen said, is we must get involved. We can no longer be the silent majority. We will continue to lose if we continue to remain silent.
That means local stuff and communication with our legislators. He said call. I have sent email messages but I have never called. I have had my local legislator call me after I sent him an email but talking with him was just what you would expect talking to a politician.
I also send "mail". Its not quick but sometimes I think there is nothing like the written word.
Getting involved would be great but work has always gotten in the way.
After I got married I began attending some town council meetings and board of Ed meeting and to be honest everything seemed to click on all cylinders. I do live in a pretty decent town with halfway decent schools. The few times there were issues I needed to voice a concern over I did at council meeting and things were resolved pretty quick regardless of political affiliation.
We are suppose,to be able to trust our elected officials to work for us so,we can continue to live, work,and provide for our families. We do no put them into office so they can turn around and fight us and make us take them to court over our Constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms.
Every morning and evening I go to this website;
https://www.nj.com/ It’s the biggest online resource for NJ news but very left leaning. The news of the decision by the Supreme Court has yet to hit their website but news regarding the new marijuana law is front page as is some black lady to become a judge and probably 10 articles on the recent snow storm.
