Current political climate

Changes, amendments, appeals, initiatives … in politics, the culture, media, society, our state/county/country/world.

Voting is just the first step. Now we need to communicate directly (phone, town hall meetings, lobbying) or indirectly, with a letter, telegram or electronic means.

Perhaps, your editorial letters or your group (Lions Club, Grange, Eagles, School Board, etc.) will make a difference. Get the media behind you.

Sometimes changes can be bad or not so good.

It wasn’t until 1920-1921 that women’s suffrage/voting rights finally kicked in. On the other hand, prohibition lasted some 14 years (1919-1933) until our sometimes unfair/unjust government woke up.

There’s supposed to be three distinct/separate branches of government; legislative, executive, judicial with checks and balances. At times, there’s questionable executive orders, Supreme Court overruling orders, filibustering, pork-barrel attached riders, etc. Hmm, I thought there was the line veto option.

Equal opportunity, civil rights, human rights, etc. can be/is a good deal. But, perhaps political correctness and the transgender “thing” has gone too far?
