At our Tea Party meetings, we all hear about the frustration over what's happening on the federal level of our government. We are constantly being baraged by policy we don't want and feel we have no recourse to stop. This ultimately brings about a feeling of hopelessness.
But the situation isn't hopeless. We forget that our real hand of power is our affect on the local level of government. Once we can start to turn around our local governments, we then have the power to turn around the state and eventually the federal government.
Of course, this is not an overnight process, but once you see the real changes you can have on your town's budget and policy, it starts to effect the upper levels. And you get the added power of confidence in affecting government.
Our local taxes continue to be raised, but who's attending those town council meetings? Policy is being enforced in your town, but are you attending the meetings when the decisions are being made?
If you want to be a real thorn in a politicians side, just show up at your town council meeting - see what's going on and question what's going on.
You'll really start to tick them off then - and honestly, what could be more fun?
