   Who out there is interested in becoming politically active?  Stop whining and start acting?
   
   There are numerous hubs, and comments, concerning how bad things are with the Goveenment, complaints, criticisms, poor me attitudes, the sky is falling theories.  Also tons of narrations about voting - how dumb the electorate is - how apathy is rampant - how impotent Congress is.   WELL how about joining up with me and try solving some of these problems?
   
   Education - I want to start a movement in various areas of the country to educate the electorate - get people to contact their representatives, express their feelings - learn who they are they and how to contact them  plus much more - join me

   RBJ33 - Count me in.  Voter education is a good place to start.  With a few clicks on the keyboard, just about everything we need to know about any candidate is available to us.
   Your right, we have the power to make changes if we just do it.  All the whining and complaining makes us feel better but accomplishes nothing.

   Now we're talking!  A few of us have to get into the problem solving business and let the "who done it crowd"  sip their wine pretend to be intellectuals while we get some serious work done.  The Project  http://www.housefireproject.com/
   is looking for 6% of registered voters to get behind us while we start holding folks in Washington accountable for results.  The other 94% can slam the other side and call themselves patriots. Some got it, most don't.  That's why I'm doing what I'm doing.  Our little 6% will have more impact on American politics than all the other partisan groups put together.  Drop me an e-mail (Jim2Washington@aol.com)  Let's do some communication my friend!

      Bob, the lack of response to this question is proof that what you are proposing is really necessary.  I find it sad that so few really seem to care.

      It may well end us as an excercise in frustration, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
