I can proudly say that YES in a particular city that I USED TO live in, my support for particular candidates DEFINITELY made differences.
First of all a GROUP of us got together and organized to focus on politicians who were already in office on both the city and county level AND we helped get a few elected to the county position.
We had an agenda and we pushed it and although EVERYTHING we asked for wasn't pushed through, a lot was.
I didn't even know I had it in my to do some of what I and we did because I started in my 30s out of necessity along with others in my group.
But CERTAIN PARTS of the system actually does work.
You have to do more than just get off the couch...vote....and plop your ass back down on the couch, lol.
You have to STAY ACTIVE in what's going on in your local politics and keep pushing and promoting your agenda and funding it and raising money to give the people you put in office.
Don't expect people to just do things for absolutely nothing.
Niccaz are good for that.....
Expecting all types of free goodies in the bag and ain't contributed a damn dime and won't even show up to the meetings or rallies but then turn around and get mad at the politicians for selling them out.
"Mayne...........
