ASU2003, I like what you wrote. Balanced and thoughtful, and I feel you sincerely are looking for
answers. Here's my two cents;
-Adherence to their own standards personal conduct. Walk the walk before the talking of the talking.
-You mentioned a few of their stereotypes that should be changed. How about the perception that
they are in the hip pocket of big business. One way they could change that is to promote campaign
finance reform. Politicians have so many favours they owe by the time that they reach office that they
are no longer able to operate efficiently, or honestly.
-Actually helping the government in power to effectively rule with options to proposed legislation,
not just nay-saying.
Just a few ideas....
