We have to do the work. We have to educate ourselves on the issues which means reading bills as they are going through the process and being voted on, calling and writing our representatives to tell them how we want them to vote on those bills. I have family who just love to complain about what legislators are doing and how they're voting but have not once, ever, actually contacted their representative about these issues. Not once have they actually read the bills and tried to understand them. It's all based purely on whatever news channel they're watching. Yet, they somehow think that through all that complaining they're actually accomplishing something. I know my family isn't unique in this. I was just talking to a contractor who is doing work on my house that started in on this nonsense.
