Activist Headquarters

I agree that calling your Rep or your Senators or the White House is not going to stop a war.

We have to stop kidding ourselves.

On the other hand I still make the calls and send the emails, not expecting them to do squat. Force of habit I guess. And, if I don't spend too much time on them, or imagine that is all I need to do, I don't think it can hurt.

I wish everyone who thinks that a few thousand calls to DC is going to change policy would watch House of Cads Cards. It's a big game that is being played in the nation's capital and in state houses around the country, even the Mayoral offices of larger cities, like New York and Boston.

Elected officials are not dying for us to make our voices heard so they can finally figure out what we want. They know very well what we want. Peace on earth, goodwill toward humankind--on record for at 2000 years--- jobs, affordable college, affordable health care, healthy food, water and air etc. Figuring out what we want ain't rocket science.
