How can people influence the government policy agenda?

Answer 1

A nation's policies, laws and regulations are all part of any government's goals and agendas. In a democratic nation, citizens can change such policies by the voting process, and by petitions to government officials.

Answer 2

Vote in state and local elections. Take an interest in local politics and help candidates that represent your interests get elected. The key is getting involved.
