Political power accrues to real persons who honestly seek to help others solve their real problems. To acquire political power a person must be willing and able to make certain kinds of sacrifices to facilitate effective decisions and actions which will help solves others' real problems. Different persons may and often do tend to make different types of sacrifices. Citizens tend to think of large financial contributions in association with politics. It is true that money talks, but money which is not associated with personal involvement does not talk as loud as money associated with helpful personal participation and sacrifice. Citizens who wish to acquire political power would do well to become familiar with the political process at the local level, starting with participation in precinct caucuses early in election years and the subsequent activities associated with political conventions at county, district, and state levels. These are the places to find out what is happening, and the places to become acquainted with candidates for office. Citizens who have helped candidates get elected by contributions of time and money will most likely have an augmented understanding of issues and be able to make helpful contributions to official's decision making processes. Because of previous helpful acquaintance, the official are likely to give serious attention to information and systems analysis offered by those who helped elect him or her to office. A great fraction of the society's political action is focused in appointed committees and commissions concerned with the development of policy and/or the regulation of governmental and private activities. Political power accrues to those who take time to become informed regarding issues, participants, and programs of these groups of persons---through research and personal attendance at their meetings --- which in many cases are by law open to all interested citizens. Political power accrues to citizens who wisely set priorities in keeping with their abilities and resources-- -so as to help others through political action. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
