Unhappy with our elected representatives?
In Colorado and some 16 other states there is a powerful political system that allows the common person to serve in elected public office.
Our caucus-assembly system levels the field, that's why so many of the rich and powerful hate it.
Whether you want to serve in public office yourself or leverage your time by helping other good people get elected, get involved in your neighborhood by offering to be of service to the major political party of your choice.
Yes, some get involved with the small alternative political parties, and sometimes it's easier there to feel like a big fish in their small ponds.
But look around the country today. How many from these alternative parties got elected? And how will those who did have any impact in the job they were elected to do without aligning themselves with one of the major parties?
Some complain the two major political parties are no different. That's what is supposed to happen, they are a mechanism for reaching a practical consensus.
Your good idea without a majority of the votes is just poetry.
So be a poet. Or get involved. Today.
Here's the first step. Google either "Democrats" or " Republicans" and your zip code. Call and ask how you can help. Not sure which party? Call them both. Check out their websites. Then pick. Or flip a coin. You are just choosing a tool to use to make your own voice heard.
For more about how, come back here tomorrow..
