Most importantly in my mind is that it brought the public to the polls, providing citizens of the United States with a feeling of empowerment that caused them to believe that whether republican, democrat or independent, black, white or Latino, they could make a difference. I hope that this feeling of empowerment will carry over past the national elections into our communities. Providing each citizen with the feeling that their opinion matters and they too can help to improve government at all levels, giving back to the country and communities that give us so much.

There has been so much energy generated during this election, it would be great to see it directed towards local organizations and issues. I agree completely about getting involved on a local level.

This is a beneficial item. The points brought up about how to contribute to one's local governance are quite relevant as most don't know about the readily available options. Since people that are currently not participating in the process probably won't be changing their routine anytime soon, it might be good to go about the process in reverse. We could tell people that they should stay home and let us manage their city. Sending the message in this way will let people know that a blanket of responsibility only exists for so long before the blanket is removed and decisions are being made by the people that assumed responsibility first.
