I have been having this feeling that with Obama's community organizing after college that he has the insight of how We the People should help shape policy. He understands that We the People have had no say in how policy is dictated in DC. Special interest only favored the very powerful, which is why we are in the current situation.
This is one of the main reasons I was drawn to Obama. His sense of community will serve us well.
Another thing I have been feeling is that We the People need to heed Obama's call to organize. With organization we can make things happen, such as with the Hemp Industry forming educational events in local communities to educate the people as to the benefits of hemp and how it could help bring in revenue for their communities. That has been one of the problems with the politicians in DC, the lobbyist and special interests keeping us from being self reliant.
We the People have let the politicians decide what is in "our" special interests which has been the complete opposite of our interest. We the People have been asleep for way to long and I think that We are beginning to awaken to how We can "Be the Change" that We need to move our country in the direction that will benefit us ALL.
