With the internet, we can get names and addresses and flood pols with mail. A piece of paper carries a lot more weight with these people than a simple email.<br><br>ALSO--VERY IMPORTANT: take to the streets. Keep reminding the public that you can still protest the crimes of this fascist regime without getting arrested--for now. I "freeway blog" in person an hour every week with a small group of people--we have kept this up every thursday morning during rush hour for over five years. The tens of thousands of motorists who have seen us standing over the expressway have seen our foot in the door, and will be encouraged to speak out, vote, and take a stand themselves. Yes, we have gotten the finger maybe a dozen times in the six years we've been there, but we've gotten thousands of horn honks, peace signs, and sirens (from police, ambulances, and fire trucks) in support of our protest. We also do "freeway blogging"--hanging signs in the early morning for rush hour consumption. Some of these signs are torn down within a day, but many have stayed up for weeks.<br><br>Good luck, and work for real change--not just change you can "believe in"...
