What we need to realize, is that it is so important to start at the local level. Get your local government to stand up for you. If they won’t? Vote. Them. Out.
Grass roots politics are so important these days. Start small, but dream big. You can build a better base of people by starting in your community. Spread the word through Facebook and Twitter. Make petitions. Have peaceful protests. Utilize citizen’s comments and public hearings. Make your voice heard.
How to change the direction of a law?
- Start at the local level. Mayors, county/city boards, town councils, etc. Get support from groups already formed: political groups, police/fire/EMS squads, hunt clubs, book clubs, wine clubs! You know these people, ask for their help!
- Head to the state level. Write and call your Governor and Representatives. Don’t stay silent. Make. Your. Voice. Heard. Get your local officials to stand up for you at the state level. Peacefully protest outside offices. Get your group a meeting with elected officials. Pass out petitions to sign. Share your cause on the internet.
- Get national attention. Local news that becomes state news WILL become national news. If one group sees you making headway, they’ll start in their towns, go to their state governments. Solidarity will occur.
Don’t just sit there and complain. You CAN make a difference.
