Voting is Too Infrequent

While we can all agree that our government is founded on the principles of individual voting rights, voting is too infrequent.

In highly dynamic times, when change is coming very quickly, we need to engage elected officials more frequently, more directly, and in a more timely manner.

This is where using public comment periods are so much more effective. And working with a small group compounds the impact.

We can’t sit back and wait to vote (though we should support that). We need to engage the process continually, especially in these dynamic times.

Steering a car on smooth, straight road requires relatively little effort, but in sudden or complex situations, constant, close attention is demanded.

We’re in that situation now.
