As the title indicates – this blog will focus on community and government communications strategies. If you are expecting a partisan political blog – you will be disappointed.
However, if you are an individual, small business or community leader and have often been lost regarding how to navigate the bureaucratic maze that is sometimes government, you might find this useful. My intent is that this blog will attempt to initiate a practical, common sense discussion on what is new and evolving, as well as how government works.
The goal is to not only provide useful tactical strategies, but offer practical legislative updates that will permit you to make better, more informed decisions. In upcoming months – specific legislation that was passed on both the state and federal level will be shared with readers.
If opinion polls and news articles are to be believed – government and politicians are in the eyes of many American, at their lowest point in years. Some who voted for President Obama are discouraged because change hasn’t happened fast enough, while others interpret what is happening as the nation sliding down the slippery sloop towards socialism. Unfortunately, whether it is due to unmet expectations or perceived threats, we collectively seem to have forgotten that “government and politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions”. While I don’t want this blog to be viewed as a Civics primer - perhaps a key first step is a better understanding of the what/why and how of government. Specifically: WHAT is it supposed to do – WHY has such a policy or law been enacted and – HOW will it work and realizing the impact it has on our daily lives…
