Blog post 4 lobbying

My method of communication was telephone. Ashley and I spoke with some of the representatives in the welfare offices for our city and then we were directed to their main office. We weren't really able to get a lot of feed back from them the way we'd anticipated i.e. finding out what they thought were some of their glitches with their method of doing things. The reason the feedback wasn't helpful is because the reps have sort of a biased opinion since the ones I spoke to didn't think there was anyway around their system which is clearly not true since I know people personally who find ways around doing things correctly where welfare is concerned. I think that had we had time to sit down and think of more thoughtful questions since we didn't have a lot of them, we would have definitely gotten a better response. I'd also like to see what thoughts the mayor or someone from his office had about our topic and what they'd like to see change.
