You go to your Congressman with 200,000 names supporting a petition. That is how. I worked with the Citizens Action Coalition in the 80's and that is how it is done.

Try getting your site listed in the Yahoo! Directory or on DMOZ.\n\nIf you post on forums somewhere that you can use a signature, include the link in your signature. Or if you know of any related sites where people might be interested, you could try getting your link posted there.

If you really want to make an impact, try writing your local government officials (mayor, US. Representive, Senator) with a signed statement with lots of signatures. I'm sure your not the only person who wants things to change. Just because 70% of the local population is made up of idiots doesn't mean 15% can't make a dent.

If your state has an initiative process, you can take your idea to the people. If you get enought signatures for your petition, then it goes on the ballet. If the majority of voters say yes, it's law!

Start a petition, and invite the undersigned to write articles about why they disagree with cloning. Have every person who signs publicize the petition and article scheme to everyone they know who can help. Then publish your petition and all articles anywhere you can--on the internet (get your own URL, not one of those free ones where you're attatched to somebody else), a magazine, a newspaper, etc. Keep the petition and collection of articles 'alive' -- keep a copy, and keep adding to it, updating the total periodically. Get lots and lots of publicity--that's the main thing.

Kids aren't supposed to be on here under the age of 13 without an adult . This doesn't work though because parents aren't around to watch them . There are a lot of young people on here and I wish they would have two sites , one for them and one for us older folks . Maybe we need to start a petition ,we did it for another problem and they are working on that . I would sign it for sure .

Dude, have I got the help for you.  I've just gone through all this mess trying to start a movement here in Tacoma.  First things first, you have to have a name that grabs peoples attention, both for the group and for the forum.  Then you pitch the idea to local groups, like the Democrats or the Greens or some other local organization.  If you're shy, you can spread the word via email lists, forums, message boards, or other media.  Then when you get a few hits of people who are interested, you can ask them if they have any resources you can use.  Use the cheapest means available to raise awareness of your event.  If there are community calendars or bulletin boards at places of social significance, plaster them liberally.\n\nStart a blog.  Check out the one I started at www.apctahoma.blogspot.com  There you can see that I really created the whole concept right there on the spot.  It takes a little work to set up and to post to, but you can do it for free over at blogger.com.  With a blog you can update members about meetings, post cool articles, and build an online community.  What you really want to do is find a techie or group of techies who like your cause and want to help promote it with their expertise.  Without that kind of help, you're stuck just working on messaging your event and tooling it to appeal to a broad base of folks.  Which can be effective, but the sooner you get an active web presence and good media materials, you won't be seen as quite professional enough.\n\nSponsors are critical, whether it's your local Labor Council or a small local business.  Use the resources you have to open up other resources.\n\nSince you're a college student, you have access to something other people don't have: college faculty.  Find a teacher who believes in what you believe, and let him tell you how it's done.  Most active teachers will love to help you set up something like this, particularly poltical science or history professors.\n\nAlso, critical to this work is picking events that have action related stuff in the ad.  So it could be writing letters, marching, hearing speeches, interacting in workshops, drumming or eating, whatever the activity is.  And it should imply that something is actually going to be accomplished.  Folks usually only like to go to process-type meetings if they're involved in the leadership, so instead set up some fun activities for the group to do.  You might even partner up with a local charity and do something jointly together as a way of bringing your networks together.  In this day and age, service attracts a lot of interesting people.\n\nAnd know your audience.  If your audience is sophomores and juniors have good music, very little drama, and a whole lot of interesting conversation, and the good times will roll.  With seniors and beyond, focus on events as they can fit into a full-time  grownup's busy schedule.\n\nAlso incorporate elements of you into everything you do.  If you like art, get some art for your event.  If you like piano, get yourself a pianist.  Remember, if it isn't fun, you won't keep doing it.  And you have to keep doing it.\n\nGo ahead and steal this title idea "Speak Your Peace - A Community Forum on the Future of Democracy" Perhaps that will inspire you to come up with good ideas of your own.\n\nGood luck, and never stop believing in the power of good people to do great things.
