How to Become a Political Activist in Ten Minutes or Less

So often I hear people talk about issues that they care about or are concerned about but because of a busy schedule they feel helpless to make a difference.

Below is a list (by no means extensive or all inclusive) to get you started on becoming an activist in ten minutes a day or less. All of the following web sites have a "take action" or "action" section or they have information on writing letters to editors, or signing online petitions on issues that concern you.
