Before you know what you should do you have to grasp what you can do: what your options are.And what should i do ? Kindly tell me..
I don't know what you can do. I do know what I can do.
For me, a mess-up in local government means writing letters, mobilizing the community, speaking up at local government meetings, even publicly threatening to withhold my vote of support from elected representatives if things don't shape up - and monitoring what happens afterwards.
Mine is not the only voice. Sometimes my efforts succeed 100%, sometimes 50%, sometimes not at all. But the U.S. is a democracy and everyone has rights whether one is liked or not, whether one is a minority or not, and the government has to uphold these values and protections: if not, it can be taken to court and even put in a kind of receivership if the gov't is stubborn, up to and including U.S. government military intervention if need be - as happened in the South in the 1950s, when the federal government mobilized the Army to ensure desegregation of public schools.
