Feeling particularly down heartened today as I read about what all the Republicans expect to cut out or repeal or turn back. Transportation funding, new energy development, weatherizing dollars...on and on. No use contacting my rep and pretty much no use being one voice on the other side. Considered floating something out on FB with a honest plea for suggestions..."just how *can* i pipe up and to whom????".
Stopped tonight then to remember that this is territory that i've already traveled. No, i won't be heard and no, putting a call in or a letter out isn't anything. HOWEVER, work harder to identify those voices that ARE currently heard, find smart articulate, thoughtful, informed people visible in the media and to the legislators, encourage them to stay the course. POST them, gather more posters~! post more people. i *do* have a way to make a difference.
It wasn't that i was discouraged w. the underground effort, but for a bit there i forgot that this is my way. this, as one new person on board said, ... this IS the only way we'll make change happen.
reach up a level or two!
