Tuesday

Our state reps in Virginia come to all of the meetings , they listen they talk and they educate us as to what is happening in the senate. No young people attend the meetings because why i don’t have answers. Most people will tune out they don’t care about policy , they want sound bites and good vibes. If you are only concerned during presidential elections then the most popular will win no matter what the policies.. their is a site on Reddit Leopards ate my face, he told them what he was going to do and he is doing it but it only matters because they are being affected.
