Elected Officials Should Prioritize The COMMON Good

Elected Officials Should Prioritize The COMMON Good

By Richard Brody

Wouldn't a so - called, representative democracy, such as we supposedly have, in the United States of America, be better served, if our elected officials, prioritized the needs, goals, priorities, perceptions, and objectives of the electorate, rather than their own personal agenda, politics, and/ or self - interest? Perhaps, it's the system, where many, in this country, fail to exercise their right to vote, nor even consider it their responsibility! Maybe, these politicians feel, either, entitled, emboldened, or believe, they can pull the proverbial, wool, over our eyes, and get away with their behavior, without ramifications! Shouldn't our representatives/ elected officials, focus, consistently, on the COMMON good, in order to serve the nation's best interests? With that in mind, this article will briefly, attempt, to review, consider, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means, and why it's both, relevant and significant.

1. Creative; character: Let's demand, we are represented by individuals, who seek creative, relevant solutions, rather than politics, as usual! If elected officials, possessed the quality of character, which might make a difference, for the better, American citizens would be served, far more effectively, etc! Look at our members of Congress, and present President, and consider, if they are prioritizing our needs and best interests, or there's?

2. Options; objectives: Why do we, so rarely, witness, meaningful options, even being seriously explored, by the people, we vote for? Is it because, everything is working, as well as possible, or because, their objectives, are not based on what's best for us, and/ or the country, but rather what's expedient, or politically popular? Shouldn't the common good, require the pursuit of the best ways, and best interests, rather than over - relying, on empty rhetoric, and/ or promises?

3. Make mark: Examine how those we elect to public office, and whether, they are individuals, who will make their mark, for the better, and best interests, of the common good! If this was our focus and direction, we would focus on what's needed and necessary, than, merely, populist, etc!

4. Motivate: What is their true motivation, and do they inspire and motivate others, to prioritize the American freedoms, this nation, has represented to the rest of the world? Only when their motives are to make us better, rather than promoting their personal agenda and/ or self - interests, will the common good, become the priority!

5. Overcome obstacles: There will always be obstacles, and when these are treated as challenges, to overcome, rather than as problems, we all become better, and more relevant. Always consider how a public official, handles these incidents, and whether, they seek viable solutions, or merely, resort to constantly blaming and complaining, for political purposes!

6. Needs; never say no: Elect individuals who never say, no, to the possibilities, and the right course, which stresses and emphasizes enrichment, and American freedoms! Leaders must focus on needs, and prioritize the right, best course of action, rather than, merely, the populist ones!

Wake up America, and demand, our leaders emphasize protecting and enhancing our American freedoms, liberties, and rights! Participatory government, means making those in leadership positions, serve and represent/ protect, our freedoms, etc!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
