Legislature

As a lobbying intern this semester, I found that government officials get a bad rap, in reality we should be thanking them for what they do. Did you know that representatives are normal people with day jobs, and they are representatives on the side? They get paid under $10,000 a session, even though they work year round to get everything in place.

These people create the laws we abide by, that ultimately keep us safe, happy and secure. Sure we all disagree with some legislation passed, but if we didn't have any laws we would be no where. The representatives care, during the session they get hundreds of emails a day and majority of them read them and write back. They care about the people they are representing, obviously else they wouldn't have been elected in. Support your elected representative and remember through them you can make a change.
