Divert the Focus
Too often do I find people tirelessly worrying and discussing national politics. The president said this, the speaker of the house did that… etc etc. But when asked what the president or any elected official of thier local government did or said… they draw a blank. Only a percentage of what actually effects your life comes from big politics, while all the big decisions happening around you at this very moment are being decided by local government officials. National politics is merely a show put on by mass media meant to stray your mind away from whats really happening in and around your community. That’s why today I’ve compiled a list of the local government officials you NEED to know about now…
