Here is a copy of letter to the editor I wrote. As I promise.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I'm hoping I'm wrong, but some elected
people only represent one side of the coin. And possibly don't want
to consider it—those who might have a different side of the coin.
I do not believe that none of us is a bonafide type
cast.
Depending on what the issue is, we fall all over the
political spectrum.
Now the election is well over, and those
we voted for or might not. Those we elected are meeting at our local
level, the state capital, and or the federal capital. They need and
should hear from us. So I'm asking all politely to get hold of your
elected officials, regardless of whether you voted for them.
Let
them know what is going on in our lives, dreams, hopes, concerns, and
ideals. It doesn't matter whether our political, faith, and or
ideology lines up with those we send off to represent us.
It is
also essential to keep in touch with our elected officials though out
the year.
We can communicate with our elected officials by e-mail,
letter, and phone. I'm sure their other means as well.
But we
won't have a primary and or general election until 2024. When a
candidate is elected, they represent many and various constituents.
So I encourage one to keep themselves informed on what is going on—by
using more than one source.
Yes, I'm planning to e-mail my
elective officials.
As constituents, it doesn't end on election
day.
Very true.
ReplyDeleteGood for you
ReplyDeleteBravo. So many of these officials get nothing but form letters various special interest groups sent out to supporters to sign and send in. They are easy to detect, with canned opinions. A relative used to work in for a newspaper and covered local elections, and had enough of these letters directed to her employer. What officials will read is heartfelt letters that sound like they were written by the person sending the letter. I know your emails will ring true and I hope they have an impact. Good luck.

ReplyDeleteSo many of these politicians have no idea what the average person goes through. They are completely out of touch.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent letter. I hope they take notice.
ReplyDeleteVery nice letter. People need to speak up.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dora, your final line of this post says it all. It does not end on Election Day.
ReplyDelete...I should, but I don't.
ReplyDeleteTell them what you value, how else will they know
ReplyDeleteNice letter
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThey may have power. But they are supposed to be working for us
ReplyDeleteAnd they can’t do that if they don’t know what issues we want them to deal with.
If we do this. Then they have no excuses for not doing their jobs
Well done
