Stop Partisan Nonsense - Vote For People, Not Parties
Political parties and rhetoric do not define a person. What the individual does makes them who they are.
Stay informed about political candidates and elected officials.
Let Them Know
When politicians, political groups, and others dealing with politics lie, mislead, or make mistakes it is our responsibility to hold them accountable. It is important that everyone contact these people when they are in error so they can correct their errors. They need to know we will no longer stand for dishonest politics. It only takes a few minutes to send out an email or make a phone call. Contact info is usually posted with our articles and you can find more contact info at Have Your Voice Heard.
Jason's T.I.P. #1
Many people are willing to contact a politician / organization they do not support when the politician / organization misleads or lies but many of these same people are hesitant to contact the ones they do support when they have done the same. This is a huge mistake. We must keep all politicians / organizations honest, especially the ones we support. Do not fall into the trap of blind loyalty. Someone that cannot be honest does not deserve any support.
Jason's T.I.P. #2
In business when an individual does not perform their duties properly or does not follow through on their promises, these individuals are usually let go. Government positions should be no different yet in the U.S. our incumbent re-election percentage is very high due to name recognition and ignorance rather than accomplishments.
It's time for a change in the way we elect officials. Be smart - Stay informed.
