38. Thanks. Politics is one vote, one voter at a time.

All the money in the world tries to leverage that fact, but they can't change that fact. A strong and well organized on-the-ground movement can overwhelm money. But we haven't done it very often.

I've seen it done in California especially when the teachers fought Schwarzenegger's attacks on their profession. I supported the teachers, registered and talked to many voters.

So a grass-roots campaign can be effective but it takes a lot of volunteers willing to give a lot of time. It's rewarding work.

And if you are willing or able to do that work, then you have to ask yourself how genuine your belief in democracy is.

I took my children with me to walk my precinct when they were just old enough to walk with me but too young to vote. I think it helped make good citizens of them.
