Pathways to Action
I am aware that is much easier to agree to something, or make a promise—even if the intention was there from to the start, and not deliver them. Working in Congress is certainly nothing to balk at, or make fun of—but there comes a certain amount of scrutiny when accepting a elected position, but there is a metaphorical line drawn of the calendar to which when the day arrives a give amount of accomplishments should hang proudly on the wall to further motivate individuals to aspire to even more. When your official has chosen, and you think that they are wrong—well you must speak up, and let your voice be heard.
Every representative has several offices that are manned by staff members that field calls all day, so you are not likely to get the Congressperson on the horn—but you are given a forum to weigh in on a current, and/or pressing issue. They are there to get a feeling of your concerns, your interpretations, your experiences—this helps the representative to understand the vibe from their constituents. This may not be enough for you though—so this is when you take to your pen and pad, your tablet, your laptop, or even you cell phone to compose a letter/email to your send you representative in Congress. This is a chance for you to tell them in a respective and precise manner to the particular issue that vexes you. If you have several… then fashion several—write as many as you deem necessary to help stimulate the change of opinion within the Congressperson. Be sure to address the issue, be knowledgeable, cut to the chase, and most of all be professional.
There are ways to build upon your efforts—and one of the best ways is to pay your representative a visit and have a brief chat. You are best suited to know their general schedule as to know which office they are currently keeping, and which is best for you. You can always try your luck and pop in to ask his
