For the same reason that in any democracy, every individual must
contribute to society if the society is to be a healthy one. We
contribute by learning enough about candidates and current affairs
to vote intelligently, and by then voting regularly. We also
contribute by actually participating in community activities and
service organizations, and even in the government itself. On the
ham radio side, compare our allocation and privileges to those of
CB radio or marine radio. Amateur radio has the privileges and
spectrum allocation that we do so that we CAN contribute and
BECAUSE we HAVE contributed.
