Small Things Count

POLITICIANS DON’T HAVE A CLUE!  They don’t care about injustices caused by the death penalty or Patriot Act.  It’s okay to try kids as adults, then throw them into adult prisons to harden and learn new criminal skills.  Homeless, elderly, disabled people– all that matters is money, not lives and human dignity.  If an issue strikes a moral chord with us, God expects us to exert our influence.  A simple way is to contact those in power.  Send a letter or e-mail.  Call them (the  phone book lists legislators in the government section).  Remember, too, that our representatives read newspapers, so write a letter to the editor.  If you get a positive response, write Action Line and encourage others to express their opinions.  On the other hand, if a legislator won’t listen, wait awhile; soon you can vote in someone who will.
