It's Important to Let them Know

As of our last posting, we had discussed five issues: Responsibility, Contributions, The Role of Votes, Term Limits, and Congress is Too Big. Before we continue with additional issues, I think it is important to take the time to reemphasize how important it is for all of us to establish and maintain contact with our representatives.

We've talked about the special interest groups and how they contribute money to members of Congress in order to insure their agendas are looked after. And, we have determined that because of this practice, we have a Congress that is working for the special interest groups which, in most circumstances, do not necessarily represent the interests of the majority of the American people.

Therefore, we, the people, need to become not only a special interest group but the special interest group that Congress listens to first and foremost. And, we don't need to contribute money to their campaigns either. We just need to constantly let them know, in large enough numbers, that they begin to pay attention to us first.

So, if any of the issues we have presented so far have "struck a nerve" and gotten you the least bit excited, let your representatives in Congress know. If you've forgotten or you have just joined us, in our second posting on July 22, 2008, we talked about "How to Let Them Know". And, if there are other issues you are interested in, let them know about those issues also and/or send us a comment so that we might share your issues with our other readers. The important thing is that we let them know.
