Answer:
Everyone has a stake in the public policies enacted by federal, state and local governments.
Step-by-step explanation: Many citizens and groups try to influence public policy through the political process by supporting candidates and political parties. That's a good way to make a positive impact, but not the best way. Hope this helps you in some way...
Relpy to your comment ---> Sure... It is not always the best way because positions within the political process issues can change/arise due to circumstances. They can be voted out of power as easily as they are voted in. The best way to make a lasting impact on public policy is to change public opinion. When you change the beliefs of the people, politicians and political parties change with them. Public Policy is changing the climate of public opinion and ensuring a prosperous future. :) Hope this helps give a better understanding :)
