We Can Save American Democracy
But we must act now
They'll lose the gerrymandering and voting rights fights unless they get smart.
It's based on Newton's Laws of Motion.
Protests and Demonstrations Do Bring Change
We Can't Make Change Without Them.
Our schools are supposed to teach this stuff but they don't want you to know it.
You Can Influence Government Regulations
The Republicans are governing by fantasy.
Why We Need More Lobbyists
Nothing is more American than a good, old-fashioned lobbyist.
Petitions Don't Guarantee Success
What makes a proper petition? And are they useful?
Beware the Politics of Distraction
Pay attention to what the media isn't telling you.
Lobbying is the effort to convince local, state, and federal officials to support or oppose legislation and policies
reflecting your positions.
Everyone can do it.
It doesn't cost a dime.

Express Lobbying
As explained by
Newton’s Laws of Motion
1. An object at rest will remain at rest.
An object in motion will remain in motion.
Unless acted upon by an outside force.
Nothing moves in government
unless someone pushes it.
2. Force equals mass times acceleration.
The harder you push, the more it can move.
3. For every action,
there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Be prepared for people to push back.
Lobbying
Lobbying is not what the media tells you it is.
"Giving money to legislators" is not lobbying.

Legislators listen to corporate lobbyists
because they're the only ones doing the talking.
The corporate media and our Republican controlled schools don't want you to know that Lobbying is the only thing that can restore our democracy.
Nothing is more important in our government
than lobbying.
Learn why we can't do without it,
when, where, and how to lobby,
and how to contact your local, state,
and federal legislators.
