Thanks, Texas Fossil. I read this commentary from Sundance and it’s a wonderful piece to remember.
It’s worth remembering when you have a chance to talk to Reps, Senators, and other people running for public office. You know more than they do... and understanding how to take advantage of that.
I looked and found that story was not posted on Free Republic, so that’s something worth doing.
I considered posting it the day I read it. At various times in the past 40 years I have written letters to or had telephone conversations with politicians about various subjects.
Sundance is correct, about people affected by a problem better understanding the issues related.
Understanding the issues and the connections “out in the weeds” are powerful when you make those contacts.
Twitter is also a place where you can impact issues. I personally know a number of political figures who actually write some of their own Twitter comments and read the responses.
