In our last radio broadcast we spoke about how people are growing sick and tired of our Leaders failing to act and bring to the real change that is neeeded, and how every individual can bring Change if it stands up and takes action in any volunteering project or contributing for change via social media etc. here are some interesting data of a survey conducted by Rasmussen reports that indicates the importancy of our Mission we are trying to bring us all together to, that only WE - Me and You can Change the World for a better Future.
(Rasmussenreports).While politicians struggle against an anti-incumbent mood sweeping the country, a plurality of Americans are looking beyond the government to find solutions for the nation’s problems.A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% believe volunteer activities and organizations are more likely than new government programs to bring about the change needed in the United States. Thirty-seven percent (37%) take the opposite view and say that new government programs and policies will bring about the needed change.Data released yesterday showed that voters overwhelmingly believe that, in terms of being a good citizen, volunteering for churches and community groups is more important than getting involved in politics and government.Most Republicans and a solid plurality of unaffiliated voters look to volunteers for the change needed in the nation. By a 49% to 32% margin, Democrats say new government programs are needed.“Americans are looking for hope and change today just as much as they did during Election 2008,” said Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports. “Many, however, have come to believe that if we have to rely upon politicians for the change, there is no hope.”The new survey also finds that 40% of voters say most Americans get involved in politics primarily to protect themselves from the government. Forty-five percent (45%) say most get involved to help make the country better. Voters were also divided on this question a year ago.The majority of Democrats think Americans get involved in politics to make the country better. Pluralities of Republicans and unaffiliated voters disagree and think most get involved to protect themselves from the government.Scott Rasmussen’s new book, In Search of Self-Governance, says that American volunteerism “restores and refreshes our freedom and democracy on a daily basis. It has made our country great, and it separates us from countries that rely on government or society’s elites to make things happen. … The daily choices made by individual Americans are more than individual acts of liberty. They are acts of self-governance that pass on values, raise children, help neighbors, build communities and create a better quality of life for us all.”
