District of Columbia
Worth visiting!
The last time I went to this place — 1 year ago
I was a member of First Unitarian Church of Dallas and I had returned from the GPM. I found out about a seminar for political activists sponsored by George Washington University. This was back in 1987, I believe. I got to go to topic groups that stretched the gamut of different tactics to help create political change.
I remember this one group lead by Senator Arlen Spector. His advice at the time was to send correspondence to our elected officials in our own handwriting. Of course, this was before the days of anthrax scares and the Patriot Act. We were warned against signing petitions since it only counts as one voice.
Now in this age of email, it is probably best to use the Interent to contact our elected officials. I have received quite a few responses to my personal emails, many of them quite positive.
As a digital activist, I encourage all citizens of the USA to use the Web to make sure your voices are heard. After all, a wise man once sang,”...if nobody wants to share the blame
