Participation is the basic element to effective, representative democracy.
Government policy is probably the single biggest factor influencing the livelihood of individuals, and the companies they work for and invest in. The quality of the elected representatives who formulate those policies is of great importance. Every time Congress votes, it affects each one of us at work and at home. Decisions on taxes, workplace conditions, environmental regulations, encryption, energy and natural resource prices, what we can export and import and on and on. These decisions affect our company's bottom line.
