I'm not a fan of politics generally. Before you start a political effort
you want a huge collected organized "body of knowledge" that creates
a relatively unassailable position (before you try to turn everyone's
very strong beliefs upside down). [This is what I refer to as winning
the argument with "throw weight".]
Someone was on Charlie Rose the other night. He related a story
about where Mario Cumo had offered to let the NY Times *grill* him
about the economy and his position on various aspects of it. He
sat with the reporters for *12 hours* answering questions. Someone
commented that they *still* talk about it today. That is the kind
of depth and commitment you need to move this forward.

Call up Peter Passaro at the Maximum Life Foundation. Tell him
you want to assist in gathering information, doing research,
writing documents, organizing a local chapter, etc. I'm sure he
will find plenty for you to do.
