Legislation
|
you this evening. We are in the midst of a wonderful time in our history. have government that is responsive to concerns about the health of the environment, health of humans and health of animals. We have for the first time in many years a feeling that our voices can be heard and that the system truly can work. We have in this country a wonderful system- a two party system. This system provides ways to interact with the lawmakers through the legislature. We therefore can effect rules, effect governing by legislation as well as the vote. And indeed we proved what the vote of the people can achieve. Don't stop though as there is much work yet to be done. We need to enact good legislation to effect change. Change in the energy system, change for the good of the environment, change for the good of the planet, and change that is good for all creatures human and animals alike. If you want change then you must participate in the system. Exercise your right to vote. Be a part of the legislative process. Research issues important to you and get that information to the law makers. Let them know your concerns as a constituent, a member of a group as a citizen, and as a concerned person. The system is set up to be accessible to ALL!Take advantage of these wonderful democratic principles- the methods of law making that make this country so great:
educate legislate these my friends and colleagues, are the tools to use to make a long lasting and meaningful difference. If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem." Dr. Chery F. Kendrick July 2009 |
