How Our Representatives Earn The TRUST


By Richard Brody

Wouldn't it be better, if those we elect, to serve and represent us, proceeded, with the finest intentions, and earned our trust and admiration, by putting our interests, ahead of their self - interests, and/ or personal/ political agenda? Unfortunately, as indicated and demonstrated, by nearly every public opinion poll, politicians, are, consistently, considered, the least trustworthy, and most un - trusted group, by the vast majority of Americans. Although, this has been true, for generations, in recent times, perhaps because of the increase in focus, on partisan (rather than bipartisan) approaches, even fewer people, believe in their elected officials. With that in mind, this article will attempt, to, briefly, examine and consider, using the mnemonic approach, why this is important, and how our representatives, might earn our TRUST.

1. Tell the truth: While this might seem obvious, very few of those, we elect, consistently, tell the truth, and maintain their integrity. We have witnessed a man, who was elected to the highest office in the land, in the Presidential election, of 2016, who, political, fact - checkers, state, has made 5 to 6, misstatements, and/ or lies, per day, since he took office. Donald Trump, rather than earning our trust, seems to prioritize, articulating a message, focused on his political agenda, and/ or self - interest!

2. Responsive; reliable; relevant: When President Trump, has resorted to consistently, blaming and complaining others, rather than introducing reliable, relevant, viable solutions, it tends to polarize, rather than unify, our citizens! Wouldn't we be better served, if our political leaders, prioritized, being responsive, to those, who elect them?

3. Useful; urge: Measure the specific public official, by listening to what he seems to prioritize, and/ or, urge, rather than his empty rhetoric and promises. Are the suggestions useful, in a relevant, realistic manner?

4. System; sustainable solutions: Far too often, people vote for someone, who focused, solely on some, emotional, current obstacle, even if he introduces, no relevant, realistic solution! Wouldn't you be more likely to trust, and believe in, someone, who, rather than trying to be popular, perceived and conceived of, created, introduced, developed and implemented a quality system, based on the finest, sustainable solutions!

5. Trends; timely: Avoid clinging to the past, and following the same - old, same - old, ways, and look, to someone, who might pay attention, to relevant trends, which might make a quality difference, for the better! We need political leaders, who are ready, willing and able, to take well - considered, timely actions!

Wake up, America, and pay more attention, to electing the right people, who will best serve, the nation and electorate! How might our representatives earn our TRUST?

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...
