Much of my awareness was somehow enlightened by the recently concluded impeachment trial. Nonetheless, I learned to respect the process of legislation. I recognized the importance of having a legislative arm. The playing field is widened by legislative options. And the fruits of it all will never come to pass unless we have an opportunity speak, represent and vote for a particular issue.
Representation matters a lot, for it influences the shape of our future.
To have a representative gives us identity, much more a voice. I guess this is where the power rests. I do recognize that we need good legislators who can author bills that hold a noble purpose. Our country is blessed with a few. But no matter how noble the intentions are, without the influence of a vote, it s nothing.
