Out of town for an Improv Reunion weekend. I'll have more when I get back. In the meantime, check this out. While it is *very* left-leaning, it is also an innovative new approach to populist political action.
The bottom line: They send you an email with an issue that they are spotlighting and have taken a position on. If you agree with that position, just reply to the message and hit send and it will automatically generate a fax to your congresspeople. So you get to filter what you are for or against, and thus, unless you are against *everything* this group has to say, it is an opportunity to participate without doing much work. Lazy social change!
EFF's action center has a similar system where you go to their website and just click on the issues you want to respond to, but TrueMajority.org takes things to a new level of laziness, which I fully support.
