When we compile a petition, we often have members go to their representative's or Senator's offices and deliver it in person. This way they can experience a real connection with the staff. ↗

The countries that share this conception should be able to go further together, without excluding the others, since they can still live in a greater community of exchange and co-operation. ↗
