"I found that calls, emails, letters, letters to the editor, coming to public meetings, and even starting your own group, newsletter, and public access TV show are some of the most effective ways to get the attention of public officials-- they're all valuable. Margaret Mead: 'Never underestimate the ability of a small group of people to change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.' Margaret was right-- so let's get to it." |
