YOU.
You have the power to take back this country. It can be done in little steps, by a LOT of people! It can start small, and by getting on to your county/municipality BOARD OF SUPERVISORS!
You can do it! Find out when your elections are coming up and get in the running. Don't think you have the background, or are unqualified because of this or that? Well get THIS: Some of my Board of Supervisor members have a high school diploma, and that's it!
Here is an AWESOME resource to get yourself started: http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/Local.shtml
It took me about three minutes to find all this about my home county:
"#
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors is comprised of four Board members and a Chairman, elected by the Board members annually, who serve four-year terms. The County operates under the County Administrator form of government.
#
The Board is an elected body of five members representing magisterial districts of approximately 17,000 citizens each. The Magisterial Districts are Catawba, Cave Spring, Hollins, Vinton and Windsor Hills.
#
The Board enacts ordinances, establishes policies, sets the tax rates, and approves the budget in accordance with the desires of the residents and applicable state and federal laws.
#
Roanoke County is one of three counties in the state that has a Charter granted by the General Assembly.
#
The Board meetings are held at the Roanoke County Administration Center, 5204 Bernard Drive, Roanoke, VA on the second Tuesday of the month at 3 p.m. and on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. for public hearings.
#
All Board meetings are open go the public and are televised live on government access television RVTV - Cox Channel 3. The meetings are rebroadcast on Thursday following the meeting beginning at 7 p.m. and on Saturday following the meeting beginning at 4 p.m."
Be like Ron! Run for office!
