Point/Counterpoint

Mar 16th, 2009 | By Dawn R. Rivers | Category: Policy Matters

Policy does matter. It matters to you for more reasons than I can conveniently list here.

Policy comes from somewhere, though, and that matters, too. That’s why policy matters to me. It’s important for somebody to confront those in power (with their own words, if need be), to add context to events so that you fully appreciate their significance, to hold your elected representatives accountable.

Otherwise, we’re all sheep.

Quick To Silence

Aug 25th, 2008 | By Dawn R. Rivers | Category: Policy Matters

Most of these charmingly two-faced politicians have been touring our communities this month, trying to convince us that they deserve to keep their jobs. This is the time when we have all sorts of excellent opportunities to let them know that we intend to hold them accountable for all of the above.

Except, of course, that we don’t.

We don’t hold them accountable. Heck, we don’t even say that we’re planning to hold them accountable and leave them to decide whether it’d be worth it to try to call our bluff.
