“…too many of us are staying home…taking care of the kids…cutting the grass…pounding at the hours trying to make the rent…either have given up or the competing priority of mere survival consumes all the energy.” – Hooser
This is the truth. Compounded by the distances and expenses of traveling to hearings and lobbying our so called representatives.
So the question becomes how do we mobilize those moms and dads whose days are consumed working and caring for their families, and whose private time is eaten by entertainment, distractions and struggle?
And how do we mobilize the younger people whose attention too is trained towards consumption and distraction?
How do we expand this effort beyond the core of diehards who you are asking to double their efforts?
We have to leverage corporate tools (media and technology) against the corporate state. And provide people with messages that resonate and inspire them to action.
Too much of the information we are presented with by the many organizations encouraging testimony is too difficult for most people to fathom and care about. It is often unreadable and unnecessarily confusing.
We need to COMMUNICATE to the people, not just ourselves.
