Advocating for Change! Can we stand up to our political leaders and demand what we want?
Hi everyone. Just the other day, I attended a Senate hearing here in Washington DC where a group of experts on ozone and air quality discussed the detrimental effects of ozone on human health. Some of the Senate officials were attentive but there was one Senator who stood out. During the Q&A, it was obvious he had no idea what ozone is. My question for this forum is....
Do you think that sometimes our political leaders have no idea what they are doing concerning some issues that maybe just maybe.. We need to voice what we, the people, are not okay with in the form of sending them letters, lobbying, calling, holding hearings where they meet and learn from experts publicly or even just people who have experienced some form of injustice or struggle that the government should address directly, etc.. I mean, c'mon.. We elected these people so we have a say on what goes through and what doesn't and what we want and what they should focus on… Correct me if i am wrong but I just not have seen this happening.. All I see is a group of people always complaining about how everything is wrong and unfair and yet they do nothing about it, as far as i know… Does filial piety have anything to do with it? I am just rambling because I cannot find anything online that says otherwise so I invite any serious insight :)
