If the government you reside under does things improperly in your eyes or too slow and you feel you must approach them about it so things can get done faster and you dont want them to feel its a threat, how would you inform them of your disapproval?

YES YOU CAN WRITE THEM,CALL THEM AND EMAIL THEM!! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WORK FOR US!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/Surprisingly few people ever write to their United States senators or congressional representatives. Perhaps ninety percent of our citizens live and die without ever taking pen in hand and expressing a single opinion to the people who represent them in Congress. This reluctance to communicate results from the typical and understandable feeling that legislators have no time or inclination to read their mail, that a letter probably won't be answered or answered satisfactorily, that one letter won't make any difference anyway. Based on my own experience, and speaking for myself at least, I can state flatly that these notions are wrong.    *  Write your own views--not someone else's. A personal letter is far better than a form letter, or signature on a petition. Many people will sign petition without reading it just to avoid offending the circulator; form letters are readily recognizable--they usually arrive in batches and usually register the sentiments of the person or lobbying group preparing the form. Form letters often receive form replies. Anyway, I usually know what the major lobbying groups are saying, but I don't often know of your experiences and observations, or what the proposed bill will do to you and for you. A sincere, well-thought-out letter from you can help fill this gap;\n\n    * Give your reasons for taking a stand. Statements such as "Vote against H.R. 100; I'm bitterly opposed" don't help much, but a letter which says, for example, "I'm a small hardware dealer, and H.R. 100 will put me out of business for the following reasons . . ." tells me a lot more.  Maybe I didn't know all the effects of the bill, and your letter will help me understand what it means to an important segment of my constituency.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

If you feel something has been done that is severely unjust call your local news and talk with them. Tell them everything and maybe they'll make a segment out of it.\n\nLawyers LOVE publicity...it's usually good for their business

It isn't the government that's paranoid, but they're working very hard to be sure that *the citizens* are.  Since W's popularity (such as it is) comes from being "tough on terror," he has to be sure that enough of us continue to believe that we're under constant threat.\n\nHermann Goehring understood this and stated it perfectly:  "...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." \n\nAnd there you have it... people rush to sacrifice their freedoms like Disney's lemmings over a cliff and into the sea.

This is the way I view things.  I wasn't around when they made the laws therefore I don't think it's fair that I have to abide by the ones I don't agree with.  If I feel like a law needs to be changed or if I want to make something made legal that isn't then I will try for it.  I will fight and get petitions and go to meetings for my cause.  However, if I still don't get my way I'll do what I want. I will continue to do illegal acts or whatever the circumstance may be.  I would never put anyone in harm's way but if I feel there is a stupid law I shouldn't have to abide by then I don't.  I may have to suffer the consequences but I will fight for my beliefs.

What the Man wants you to know!\n\nIf it's from your government it's public information.\n\nIf it's from someone else's government it's propaganda.

How else would they know what they were thinking? \n\nAsk to have your desk moved or put up some privacy glass or have the counter moved.

An inside job.  Declare war on another country, on behalf of everyone in your country, and then tell your country that you don't care whether they like you or not, you're gonna do what you're gonna do.  Be amazed that for 6 years you get away with it.\n\nHope this helped!

Make a list. Do one thing at a time and tick them off. You will be surprised how quickly they get ticked off. Once you concentrate on one at a time and stop worrying. Better to do most of them than worry and do known.

Thomas Jefferson put it quite succinctly when he said "Government is a necessary evil". However, the important thing to do, is never allow your government to get out of control, such as ours has.

I guess worrying that the government could read my thoughts are the least of my worries now. -Ha\n\nPretty funny

Not enough information in your question to be able to say if I would feel threatened.  It would depend different things.  Is the leadership of the country hostile?  Do they say they want you wiped off of the map?  Is the leadership of the country trustworthy?  Does the leadership of the country have respect for human life and human rights?  Is the country stable?  There are a lot of things that I would need to consider to decide if I was threatened.

Yes, but it depends on what you are talking about. If you don't get satisfaction then approach your local member of parliament either for the state or federal government and explain the problem. You can make official complaints but I would go to a seperate police station to the one you were having trouble with. Remember thought that the police are neutral and may not see things your way, they have to enforce the law not your perception of it.

You have to enquire the same with the concerned department. Other people may not know it.
