BlueBroward.orgFor the love of God, what might it take for a candidate to stand in front of a group of voters and declare an interest in certain issues only to follow with specific action plans and a summary of the costs and political lobbying involved in the measure?
For example, “I hereby plan to reduce crime in the city of XYZ. I will be meeting with the police chief and the Broward County sheriff to brainstorm and come up with a plan of attack within X time frame. The estimated costs associated in term of time and money are estimated at 123″.
Problem is, these buzzwords are played out and voters are half disenfranchised, half ignorant.
To engage, articulate one or two key concepts and go from there instead of lobbying votes with the same old, “We want fair taxes and a good educational budget”.
That was the case during the American Revolution against King George of England, it was the tag line a hundred years later during the Civil War, and almost everyone’s political campaign tag line.
To get House and Senate committee members to vote accordingly and effect policy amendments takes very specific influence. Most Americans like the simple campaign mottos because they are easy to grasp; somewhat like the score to a football game.
Real life does not work that way.
Economics. It is all economics. Who gets what, how much of it, and at what price.
