If you goto a town hall, your elected officials will be there and you can voice your opinions. In my town it’s mainly old people, but most towns have a ton of people from all denominations

Walk up to your elected officials, shake their hands, and be peaceful, explain your cause. If you play your card right (I mean without playing gin rummy) you can accomplish democracy

My experiences:
1. Do not talk to the police there
2. Don’t smoke
3. Don’t bring attention to yourself
4. Don’t harass anyone
5. Cameras are limited to pictures of yourself, friends, fam to be taken with elected officials


I strongly suggest writing a bill beforehand, with atleast 10 photocopies, for your congressman and mayor

If you’re in a frat, gang, whatever, keep it at home, that’s where the town people discuss politics

Hopefully this doesn’t break any rules, if it does I don’t mind being gassed

My elected officials that I have touched:

* Senator
* Mayor
* Congressman
* State Senator
* State Representative

It is not that hard to touch your reps, IMO.

The key is not to touch them but to reach them on your level of politics so you can learn the system.

When you met your elected official, did they seem like top dog? I’d love to meet a president
