Doer Not Hearer Only?

Today is the primary election in Washington City. Walt and I are going to vote before he goes to Bishopic meeting tonight. The condition of our country through government decision at the highest level has been on my mind today due to casting a vote today. I decided to take try to make a difference in my own way. This is a copy of email I sent to family and friends to join the Patrick Henry Caucus. The email communication says it all:"Here is our personal invitation to join this Caucus. Here is my personal invitation to make a difference and it does not cost you a cent. Walt and I have found their updates and notifications to be very integrated with our core values. Another thing is that we have found their substance for opposing many of the decisions being made by government based on fact not drama, racism, etc. It is growing around the US. What I like about the Caucus is that it saves a lot of work and research. Their updates give you exactly who to contact where it will make the most impact. They were very involved in the organization of the 9/12 march in Washington DC. We were the 400th to join the caucus. We have not been disappointed. This is my perspective, we can sit on our rears and complain and say the country is going to pot or we can join a movement that wants to make a difference in an effective organized way. Here it is....mine and Walt's personal invitation, or you can just keep complaining, sending email to your friends about your disapproval of what is happening in DC, and not getting anything but frustrated. Or you can add to your email a communication to those whom it might make a difference. We have seen that the squeeky wheel got the grease in the environmental movement, and now we think, how did such a small group of society get such a mammoth amount of power is America? They organized and yelled. Now you can become an important spoke in a squeeky wheel that will really make a difference to restore common sense as we safe guard the constitution. Here is a question I want to ask all of you, just for your personal perspective. Does there need to be a change? How many letters, phone calls, or email have you personally sent to those in power making government decisions you disapprove of? How many times have you expressed your concern and complained to friends, family, or anyone for that matter? If the answer to the first question is a lot smaller than the answer to the 2nd question, then there needs to be a change, but maybe it starts with the person looking back in the mirror. " Following the email was a link to education and opportunity to join the caucus.
