Voter apathy is the enemy of democracy. Democracy works only when citizens
and voters know, appreciate, and take advantage of the opportunities to
influence public policy in their government. It is not always easy work,
but with determination and commitment to being an individual who relishes
being an active  participant in the affairs of government at all levels -
it does work. WHAT CAN YOU DO?

**Keep abreast of what is going on in your County, State, and nationally.
Don't relax your fact-finding incentives about the issues that matter to
you. More information is always better.

**Get involved in any action or advocacy that is emerging on the issue.
Contaacting your legislators is always a good idea; contacting others who
are working on the issues helps; attending government hearings on the
matter is useful; attending local county council meetings regularly, or at
least when your ISSUE is up for action; observe work sessions of the
departments who are working on your issue.

**If your time is limited, as is the case with most people, but you  want
to participate in some limited way, join the organization which can help
you do that.   JOIN THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS.
