Thanks Chris for reminding me that only with practice does one do better.

Good government requires active participation by its citizens to be successful. 

If an athlete could pick to practice with the team whenever the likelihood of success would be lower. 

If a student is left to decide what is worthy for their education most would fail to obtain adequate knowledge to sufficiently pass a proficiently test. 

A democratic society of government is not about having passive participation.  The anti lobbying provisions that nonprofits have caused too many organizations to keep silent and watch.  As the largest employment sector in the country it is time to speak up and be heard.

Health Care (affordable and for all)

Education (A High School diploma and a minimum of an Associate degree)

Smart Growth (energy generation, energy  distribution ,transportation and Internet)

The role of practicing is to always provide an opportunity for improvement and having the maximum preparedness for the task at hand.  In creating good public policy there must be the ability to set forward good intentions and to modify components where the result is not the intent.  History has shown that words used in the passing of legislation some times has unintended consequences.  These unintended consequences are the result of individuals or entities utilizing the law for personnel gain or craft ideology direct. 

As stewards of our government both individuals and organizations must participate to ensure the best balance and interpretation of intent.  It take practice for any government to create fairness in its system of governance that balances its fairness to all individuals and organizations.
