George remember we all got together the other day and discussed this. My god you are like retarded or something. Dick came up with the idea to have a huge festival. Is any of this ringing a bell? The games, the rides, the BBQ and the dunk tank? We could have people pay alot of money to throw balls at a white lever and if they hit you drop into a tank of oil. You were completely stoked. You even said that you could use all the money you raised as a nest egg if you get fired!\nI swear sometimes I think I'm talking to Ronald Reagan before he passed away!

But that won't happen, or you might get the half-hearted endorsement\n\nCountry first; party much later

www.congress.org ... go there and make yourself heard!  Second box in center of page says "Take Action," then enter your zip code under "Write Elected Officials."  This will give you options that are easy to follow and you can say everything you want to and demand to know what your Representatives intend to do about it ... and, more importantly, what you intend to do with your votes the next election.\n\nIt's time for all of us to STOP BEING APATHETIC and START BEING PROACTIVE.\n\nIt's past time for another Revolution ~ this one with no weapons other than words and determination.\n\nADD ON:\n\nRegarding the rallying cry, that's certainly not a bad one, but i think the issues are beyond the President; i think it involves all elected officials.  What about "Throw the b*st*rd OUT!" ... that might get the attention of all of them if they knew we were about to exercise our power to do just that.

Plenty is done for the people, including those  who do not vote. Even if an election result does not go the way I voted, I know that I had the opportunity to make my opinion known to those whom with I disagree. \nIt takes quite a bit of effort for anything to be placed on a ballot, people must support a candidate or issue and take proper steps to complete the process. If things that matter to you need voter approval, get out and volunteer with a group that supports your views, getting involved will give you a greater satisfaction with the political process. Your effort does matter and you can make a difference in your community,  good luck.

Inform yourself, get involved at the precinct level, probably best with a party, work hard, get elected, and always remember why you did this.  \n\nListen to your constituents, but vote your conscience after evaluating all you've researched and heard. \n\nGet elected again, this time to higher office as many times as it takes to achieve your purpose.  Then leave office, like Cincinnatus.

If it's today or tomorrow - persuade them to VOTE!\n\nYoung people are very apathetic about voting, but they can make a difference!\n\n(And teacher's love this type of topic!)\n\nBest of luck!

Write a letter explaining the reasons behind the increase. Most people will be happy with an honest explanation.\n\nGive as much notice as you can too.

Influencing legislation requires two things, or a combination of the two:\n\n1. A billion dollars to bribe politicians (the polite term is "campaign contribution");\n\nor,\n\n2. The support of millions of people who agree with you and are willing to be active in the matter.\n\nMaybe you could find an establihed organization that is working towards similar goals and try to get their support.

I would suggest using you first Amendment rights and write an editorial in your local newspaper. The more people are enlightened on a topic the better your chances are at getting some attention to your "cause". Plus, the people that are reading your editorial are usually the ones who want to make a difference.

Noisy wheel gets the grease.  In other words, let your representative know your feelings on issues that affect your community and government will be more responsive to your needs.\n\nMany people complain, but will not bother to contact anyone.  Your elected representatives are not psychic and cannot read your mind.  Contact them and let them know how you feel.

I do not understand this undue regard for approval ratings. What do they matter? Doing the right thing isn't always popular. And the media are compounding the problem with their biased views and outright lies. The Dems favor spin over truth. Congressional GOP have yellow bellies and jelly spines.\n\nAnd without seeing the raw polling data, it is hard to trust pollsters interpretations.

If you raise between $2 and $2.5 million you can hire a company that will get it done for you.  They get the legal wording done right, and then get the proper amount of signatures necessary to get on the ballot - I forgot the number needed but it hasn't changed much in the last few years even though the state has grown - which makes it easier.

look for an achievment, something to be recognized for. Like... i don't know, be nice to people around you, suprise your boss by delivering early products or just amaze him by being brilliant.\n\nJust look for a first easy achievment and then it (feeling good) shall fall dow on you like dominoes!\n\n**please note that you will be getting approval from others, and the best way to get approval is from yourself. I do agree that you should buil up your confidence
