Any time, Jim
It's a matter of taking responsibility. After all, isn't sitting on the beach watching a man drown when you could save him just as much a murder as going out there & holding his head under the water?
Too many people sit and watch our liberties drown without taking action. Every single bill that could possibly affect me or anyone I know, I follow & ask all my friends/family/coworkers to call/email their rep/senator. I even provide phone numbers! Most of them do it too.
It isn't enough simply to vote for the lesser of two evils. We all have to make our voices heard at the capitol, both state and federal. Only a very minute fraction of voters actually take the time to contact their rep/senator. We all have the opportunity to be heard and if enough voices say the same thing, it can sometimes swing the few critical votes we need to pass good legislation or stop a bad bill in its track. All it takes is a quick little 2 minute phone call...
It all goes back to that "I'm just one voice, what possible difference could I make?" mentality. Yes, we are each just one voice. Collectively, the voice of the people is nothing more than the sum of all those individual voices. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell random people in the checkout line! We have to make the positive outweigh the negative.
EDIT: Sorry for my own little rant there. I'm still fuming about how a Republican majority legislature failed so completely this session...
That wasn't the majority problem. That was about 4 heads of committees and the speaker and the leader of the senate. Those morons need to be removed from politics. They should not even be elected dog-catcher if it was an elected position.
