Two Kinds Of PeopleThose who choose
to be players They vote. Communicate with
lawmakers on issues that directly concern them.
They communicate with email or by meeting with officials when they are on recess.
Help elect candidates who best represent them.
Those who choose to be victims
They do not vote (or only vote).
They live with the political decisions that others are able to influence.
They don’t understand the political process and just want someone to “fix it”.

Licensure or Certification?Licensure defines scope of practice -
defines what you can and cannot do as a dietitian
Certification defines the profession - the educational requirements for someone to call themselves a dietitian
Certification does not define scope of practice
Licensure is preferable but difficult to enact.
