An individual can have a very outsized impact on local politics and policy simply by being involved, going to city council meetings, and voting.

it's why local and, to an extent, state governments under the structure of our constitutional republic is such a beautiful thing.

if a politician wants to by tyrannical marxist, he lives and works right down the street, as opposed to when the federal scum try to do it and it's halfway across a landmass the size of Europe.

this is the way it was supposed to be: let local and state governments, governed by the people, decide their fate, not the long arm, one size fits all federal government.

I think it's a stupid law, but I don't have a problem with it being done like this.
