Waiting until the next election to become active will be too late. The results will give us a repeat of the horrible 2016 season. To avoid another election year disaster we all need to be active now and not relent. There are things all of us need to be doing to hold our elected officials accountable, are you willing to do any of them?
• Have you ever attended any government meetings to voice your concerns or just listen? What was your takeaway from that experience?
• Do you monitor multiple news outlets to make sure you are getting a variety of opinions to process your decisions? How does that help you?
• How will this election season change your approach to politics in the future in regards to your own mental and physical wellbeing?
• The answer can’t be constant negativity. If your chosen candidate lost, how will you work to make things better with a candidate you didn’t support?
• If your chosen candidate won, will you hold them as accountable as you would their opponent if they had lost? How will you do that?
