Upfront Magazine-- (10 Things You Need To Know About Washington--Do ordinary people have a voice in Washington D.C.?)

 In the article, "10 Things You Need to Know About Washington," it talks about how much people get to state their opinions on government. Based off of what the author wrote, the people that have most, (if not all) of the power in the United States is the government. 

        In the text it says, "it's not unusual for a member of Congress to get tens of thousands of emails, letters, and calls in a few weeks. That means that the chances are slim your individual messages will get read carefully."Getting your opinion read by the government throughly isn't common. It's very hard for the government to be able to read so many opinions. 

          This makes me realize that we don't have enough say, or power when it comes to choices that the government makes. Also that they don't focus on the other littler problems in the United States that many ordinary people want to change. I think that the government should find ways to let us have more say in the choices that the government makes.
