[QUOTE="Albert Nurick"] Pardon me, but that's bullshit. When I find an organization that I believe in and feel is worth the investment in time, I participate. What's great is that I don't have to ride around to meetings to make a difference. I contact lawmakers on issues that matter to me. Heck, I'm even volunteering for an old friend's campaign in '06; if it's successful I know I'll be able to bend an ear. I tire so much of the activist group members who seem to think that theirs is the only way to affect change. Considering their track record this past session, perhaps a bit more humility and respect for other techniques might not be a bad idea.[/QUOTE] hmmmm... I thought I'd asked you to name a few of those crucial issues that you've been discussing with all those "representatives" that you keep referring to.. None have come to mind, yet.. huh ? LOL.. Be sure to let someone know which candidate you will be supporting in '06.. or is that going to be top secret until after the elections.. uh.. Maybe like all these "issues" that you keep going on about.. right ?
