Seems like more Americans are engaging the political process. Politics is involved in every single aspect of your life. You may not be involved in politics, but rest assured, politics is involved in your life. You may live in the Land of Freedom, but you cannot do anything without the directive, tax, fee, regulation or authority of your government. From the moment you woke up this morning lying under those government-approved, fire-resistance sheets to driving your highly regulated car and arrive at your job at a business permitted by the State, everything is touched by your government.
You cannot allow the government not to get input from you. Many people are beginning to understand this and are engaging their government for the first time. They are beginning to ask questions, and they do not like the answers. The ugliness of this past election cycle shook folks out of their slumber. They saw that government was working against their best interest. People got involved in their government for the first time. But you cannot stop. You cannot let go. You must stay engaged.
To you friends just venturing into the world of politics, allow me to give you some foundations to stand on. First, politics is a multi-billion dollar business. The larger it grows the more power and influence it has. Don’t believe politics is here to make your life easier; it is here to make the politicians’ lives easier.
Every issue affects every person. There are no “special” issues. There are no black issues, poverty issues or homosexual issues. All issues affect my children, my morals and values. They all effect my taxes, regulations, business and employment. I should have an opinion on every issue. Government cannot grow without your dependency on government growing.

Some DUmmies were disputing the worthof Bernie Sanders at the DUmp (for the millionth time). One’s line of argument was “What laws has he had passed?” Really. To the left, an “effective” politician is one who more effectively curtails ourlives amd freedom.
Calvin Coolidge had the right idea.
blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda
$$$ talks and Everything else is background noise
