I sat around for years complaining about things the government was doing, I woke up one day and realized I wasted a decade complaining and wanted to change it. I learned and I listened. I realized the game is not the issue, it’s some of the players. You have to be a better player to get the result you want. Once you get inside and look out, that’s when you realize the absolute beauty of the system that was set up. But you have to get involved and stick with it, the first years are tough cause you will not have the experience to know what to do, stick with it and when your first lobbied Bill becomes a law, even in a city, it’s kind of an emotional thing. Don’t hate the game, it is what it is, learn to play it better than the yahoo next to you....
A Citizens United fan? There is another choice you have omitted. One can get off their ass and change the game. The process is in the fifth article. And it says there are two ways to change the game. That’s what some of us are trying to do by using one of those ways to change the game by instituting term limit for government officials. Would term limits make lobbying harder, more time consuming, more expensive, all of the above?
