In the 164 town meetings which I’ve conducted around the second district during the past 18 months, a pretty clear picture of how citizens feel about their government has emerged. The people I represent love their country. They want to see it work as they know it can work — as it once did in past generations. But they are disappointed with what they see in Washington and throughout our land nowadays. Most tragically, too many citizens now believe that they can’t have an impact on what happens in America. They see too much power concentrated in special interest groups and in an entrenched federal bureaucracy, rather than in the people themselves I share that concern In fact, 1 believe that one of the greatest goals of elected representatives today must be to restore confidence in government by convincing citizens that they can, indeed, make a difference. Numerous examples could be

cited. Just a few days ago, I presented to the ways and means committee petitions calling for estate tax reform bearing 5,000 signatures. Through these petitions the voices of citizens from throughout the second district will be heard here in Washington. Out in California, a group of citizens became indignant over having to pay such high rates for their electricity. They decided that they should form a group to suggest utility rate reform legislation. And they successfully persuaded the state legislature to adopt the nation’s first "lifeline” rate structure, which provides average homeowners with substantially lower rates for their power, instead of the current system which rewards large users. In several cities across the country, citizens have joined with local police to fight crime. During a special crime forum which I conducted in Lake County this spring, we discussed various ways by wind) individual homeowners can join the effort against crime. In fighting crime, in reforming utility rate structure and in making tax laws more fair for average families — in all these areas, and in many more, individual citizens can make a difference in America. One of the great political leaders of this century once said, "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.*' When the history of this generation is written, I hope it will show an involved America — a nation of individuals committed to making their homeland a better place. If we as a people are willing to put forth the effort, we cannot fail to reach that goal Cars collide on county road 1300 N Cars driven by Nelson Auer. 56. 300 East Carroll. Syracuse and Dan Beer.
