Change comes from the bottom to the top not from top to bottom. I think that our generation can continue to make a great impact in our gov't as long as we keep working to see that change is actually implemented..

I've been saying this for years.

No one cares anymore, not like they used to. And if they do, it doesn’t appear that way. In the past, huge social movements have caught politicians’ attention and have helped to shape history. Those who are higher up can’t hear us if we don’t speak up. Politicians can only understand the people when they hear the people. It seems as if no one wants to be heard, except by their neighbors and friends who listen to them complain over commercials during the Sunday afternoon football game.
