I
am
guilty
of
this
very
thing:
neglecting
to
contact
a
public
official.
According
to
the
Alabama
Civic
Health
Index,
Alabama
is
ranked
51st
in
contacting
a
public
official.
The
idea
seems
daunting,
terrifying
and
extremely
intimidating.
I,
like
the
majority
of
people
in
college,
have
no
idea
what
I
would
begin
to
talk
about
after
stepping
foot
in
a
politicians
door.
But,
I
do
not
have
much
of
an
excuse
because
most
government
officials
have
a
communication
team
that
manages
their
various
social
media
accounts.
Sending
the
governor
a
Facebook
message,
or
commenting
on
his
wall,
is
much
Less
