Publisher ^ 0 • • • • • free and independent individuals, yet gives us the framework within which we work in concert to accom plish those matters we deem to be for the common good. And, it is through this ingenious mechanism of our Congress, which gives us the right to select those who will repre sent us in this process, that we can have a direct impact on the direction of our nation’s future for the coming year and for decades to come. P OLLOWING the Congressional legislative process always takes on added meaning when it can be observed first-hand through a visit to Washington, D.C. This is espedally true when one can visit the na tion’s capital in the springtime. The cleansing force of spring rains brings freshness not only to the magnificent display of budding flowers and trees, but a visible freshness to the step and very life of this vi brant world center of power. After enduring a winter as severe as this past one, everyone in the capital seems to blend more in tune with this resurgence of life itself in the 70-square mile area called the District of Columbia, which con tinues to stand tall as the beacon of freedom and hope for millions of peo ple throughout this world. And, it is this freedom to express one’s self, this hope of improving what we have, that continues to draw thousands of us daily and throughout the year to this center of We have two opportunities per power where 535 men and women sonally to affect this unique process. can enact or alter the rules which The first is through our own per govern our daily lives in our 50 inde- sonal ballot through which we exer pendent states. This is, indeed, a cise our prerogative to select those process to be treasured, for it is the who will represent us. The second is lifeblood that allows us to remain through our freedom to keep in touch with those we elect in order to let them know our opinions on pro posals facing the Congress for de bate or vote. These 535 representa tives in the Congress are fine-tuned to these personal contacts and con sider them thoroughly as they make their serious decisions that affect all 275 million (or more) of us. Given this marvelous process that is unequalled elsewhere, it is sad, indeed, to know that among us are those who cannot find or take the time to exercise their preroga tive of communicating with their Congressmen on issues as they arise, but often are the most vocal critics. However, those who do partici pate fully in the process find a great inner satisfaction in knowing they have done their part; they have ful filled their duties as responsible citi zens. And, the enjoyment of fulfill ing that responsibility becomes even more exhilarating when one is privi leged to come to this beautiful cen ter of world power and watch the process in action. It reaches an even higher level of fulfillment when one can take part in the process. It’s even better when one can achieve this in the spring! New life, new opportunity, true continuing freedom abound in this enigma of red tape which is overwhelmed by the presence of the 535 who repre sent us, our elected President, and FirsTier.
