Imagine a scenario where the governor or premier of your state or province held a campaign to elect an ordinary citizen to tell him what you wanted to the most done to help your state, city province etc. You were the lucky one chosen to do it. You would have a week to prepare your argument why your cause would be the right one for the government to act upon. Would you accept this honor and enormous feat? Would you decline because you feel you are not qualified even though they only qualification necessary was that you were an ordinary citizen? would you feel that you could not do it because you didn't want to have that responsibility? well here is what the governor, statesman says to you, it is your duty as an ordinary citizen to do this one thing they ask. It is your chance to tell the government what the ordinary guy on the street wants. so in a way you have to do it. He goes on to say that you don't have give a top of the head answer, you can do any research you want and he will give you and research he has on the area you have chosen all you have to do is ask. He also tells you that if you want you can schedule a meeting in the town hall, and ask the towns people to help you decide, all you have to do is ask. He says if there is anything at all that you need to come up with a solution just ask he will provide. So you are going to be the representative, how will you decide, will you forget about it and just tell him anything off the top of your head on the day you must tell him which project you want this government to address. will you choose the cause that will help you out personally for example you are a parent of young children and having trouble finding proper day care and so you tell him his needs to work on better day care for the province, do you ask just a few friends and family what they think, do you spend hours in the library and looking over the government decision to try and figure out what the province state needs the most of, do you hold a town meeting and give everyone part of the project to research and then invite the government with the results on the day you are to submit your project to him in front of the townspeople, or do you do something else altogether, assume now you have come up with your project, what would it be and why is it important to your community? best response will have to answer most of these questions.

I would assume the responsibility with a feeling of honor. I would poll our citizens and have town meetings and do research.

I still need you to jump forward and tell me what project would it be that you would work on.

I'd tell bush to get out of office,and hopefully we'll get someone in to get our country back.If we could get rid of all the "good ole boy's", thing's might be better.All this "you scratch my back,I'll scratch your's" is a bunch of garbage.If some of the people that got out of this administration because of all the corruption would run,I'd vote for him.
