While looking up the legislative process, I stumbled across this video and found it interesting. Are we looking at the current processes in place and really examining them? Are we slaves without knowing it?

Oregon lobbyists and advocates have continued their efforts in getting increased school funding for their schools. Their efforts are being noticed and this may create a chain-reaction for many other struggling school districts.

"This may not mean anything to somebody who is accustomed to civic action or to somebody who has always recognized the power they have. But for me, being a poor black girl from Baltimore, knowing I helped pass two pieces of important legislation makes me feel invincible."-Taikira White, The Intersection A young girl from Baltimore became active in civic engagement due to seeing kids like herself not go very far or even worse die. These two girls took a stand when most people just want to look the other way. It is easier to just leave things the way they are instead of standing up and trying to make a change for something that you believe in or think is right, What an inspiration these two young ladies are, they fought for what they wanted and are not only doing something for themselves they are helping their community and trying to make it a better place.

I decided to use my Legislating Change assignment as my resource contribution. I feel that the amount they are asking for is too high, considering many other important funding that has been cut and will continue to be cut. I also feel that the reasons they gave for wanting a raise are an insult to residents who are making do with far less.
