It really matters not who the President is. It is our Congress (Senate and House of Representatives) who hold the most power in US.
We each have 2 Senators and a House Representative from our district. I monitor legislation that is up for vote in the Senate and House. I email my representative and both Senators directly of my views and how I want them to vote on said bills (legislation). Me, a constituent, a voter.
I see so much time wasted on the internet with other matters, but it is so easy to just read the bills and email our Congressmen, cutting the influence of corporate sponsors for election funds, and therefore, how our Congressmen vote on a legislative bill.
Why the entire populace does not do this simple thing..email your Congressmen, give them your opinion and tell them how to vote on the laws presented for passage or failure. If only all Americans would take the time to do the same, we can control how our country performs.
Just look up your Congressmen on Google or other search engine. There are links to each. Click that button and email them! Have your voice heard! Just voting in an election is not enough. All citizens should do what I do, and have their voices actually heard. It is the voter that places the Congressmen in office. They would pay attention to their constituents (voters) if they want to remain in office.
Get off our rears and do that! We have internet access to the legislative bills up for a vote in the House and the Senate. Read them! Form your opinion. An email takes only a minute. Our country would be transformed back to a true democracy.
Hope others will do what I do. We need to wrest the power back from the Corporations and wealthy individuals who make huge contributions to candidates in the hopes of buying their votes.
Let us take our power back.
