[Trevelyan]

15. K&R and bookmarked... thank for reminding us to keep writing and calling

"There's actually a fairly useful thing that can be done by readers, simply through letters to the editor.

Not astroturf. That must be emphasized. These must be individually written letters, preferably from citizens within the state.

I work in drug policy reform and there's a site that has done an amazing job in this way: MAPinc.org

They provide resources for letter writers, focus alerts, and articles to which letter writers can respond. They figure that they have, in column inch value, generated over $2 million per year worth of published letters.

Sure, letters to the editor in most newspapers include a whole lot of wackos, but they're still read, and can sometimes be used by politicians' staffs as one tool of measuring local reaction to events."

22. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of LTTEs, Trevelyan

I speak about it with everyone I bang into. Matter-of-fact, and with great added irony, I do not ever bring *&Co up, rather everyone else does and I mean every one.

[H2O Man]

26. Good idea.

We should be organizing in a way that allows us to participate in things like this, and to begin to focus on an effort to register people at the local level for 2006. Perhaps we need to have the Summer Coalition for Online Political Education (SCOPE).

[Sapphire Blue]

29. I'd nominate you for our SCOPE leader, H2O Man!

57. I always call knowing my reps couldn't care less

about anyone's opinions other than *. Specter, scumtorum and English (Pa. 3rd). I only wish I could say one thing that would matter to them. :(

At least they know their constituents aren't happy with their allegiances. :hi:
