Is the Amish being discriminated?
There are a signifucant number of peope in communities near the Amish who are hostile to them.Security taxes, and donoy collect Socecurity, as the Amish have an equivalet system. This is true as well of school teachers and public librarians in many states, and it used to be true for Merchant Mariners and Railroad Retirement workers, and is still true of the US military.
Others complain that the Amish don't pay retail. If one farmer needs something,he comtacts his neighbors and negotiates a massive purchase at a better price.
There ae complaints that horses and buggies break down roads. In fact, the overweight loads of semis crack asphalt down to the sibstructure, and when water penetrates and freezes, that causes most damage to rural roads.
There are complaints that the Amish stink. Well, they don't use deodirant, and they don't have air conditioning, and they sometimes get the "exhaust" from their horses on their feet. And, like the English, some are less clean than others.
Some dislike the Amish because the feel they are better tan the rest of us. This one, though, seems mostly expressed by people tha almost ANYONE would feel better than. The Amish generally are fairly nice people who don't put on airs or gossip. They don't have the "nyah, nyah, I'm saved and you're not" attitude of many fundamentalists.
Any statement made about a group is likely untrue for some membes of that group. Most English have a better opinion of the Amish than they deseve, imagining them to be especially holy people. That's another sticking point among the anti-plain, but the plain sects just consider theselves as ordinary people, and those who deal daily among the Amish generally concur

How do the Amish use modern energy resources?
The Ordnung is the guide to Amish community standards, and may differ from community to community and district to district. Generally, the bishops or other leaders meet periodically and discuss common concerns, including technology. Decisions are then passed on to the ministers and deacons. Variations develop from community to community. Petitions are accepted for use of particular technologies in their local communities. The Amish do not consider technology as evil. The rejection of technology is an effort to avoid connection with the outside world. Restrictions are not meant to impose suffering.
Electricity may be used in some communities when it can be produced without access to the outside. Batteries are sometimes acceptable. Electric generators are sometimes used for welding, recharging batteries, and powering milk stirrers. Motorized wheelchairs may be used by the disabled. Electricity may be permitted for medical equipment. Some of the Beachy Amish congregations permit the use of automobiles. Some Amish communities may permit the restricted use of telephones. Some communities may also permit the use of cell phones and computers for business purposes.

The Amish rarely participate in politics.
Mark Souder, who attends Emmanuel Community Church, part of Church the United Brethren in Christ. The Brethern are not a plain sect, but they are an anabaptist group closely related to the plain. He had to get permission from his church to seek political office, and it was not given easily. Had he not established a sparkling reputation as operator of Souder's, a family-owned general store featuring premium furniture before a regional recession forced it out of business, he likely would have been denied permission.
And when George W, Bush met with Amish workers of a Lancaster County business to solicit their support as a presidential candidate, the move occupied the interest of the Lancaster New Era newspaper, with some national attention as well, because the Amish typically do not even register to vote, taking it as an extension of the injunction against suing, or even testifying at trial. (The Amish are going to court increasingly to protect their first-amendment rights, an act that is still uncommon all these many years after the Yoder case in the Supreme Court.)
A further reason there are no Amish mayors is that it's a municipal office, and most cities do not allow the keeping of horses, and will not allow the occupancy of houses that are not wired for electricity and plumbed for municipal water, effectively prohibiting the Amish from living within the city. That's undoubtedly unconstitutional, but the Amish have little reason to desire city life.
