3. Vote.
4. Write to your elected representatives to keep them on track regarding the results of step 2.
5. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Answer 2

The war in Iraq is such a huge mess; the USA made a fatal mistake; they thought it was going to be a piece of cake; in addition, they threatend iran and syria prior to the invasion of iraq; hence, do you actually think that the Iranians and syrians are going to make it easy for americans in iraq, both syria and iran have a vast amount of influence in iraq. USA should have never threatend Syria and Iran; moreover, we cant just leave iraq, if we do, taliban will announce its victory; they will advance their story line to the iraqi public; and if this does occur, taliban will recruit thousands of more rebles or freedom fighters. even though we may not be happy with our government, the problem is so complex and without the help of Middle Eastern experts it will be extremely difficult to solve or change. We need to elect a president that is familar with foreign policy; Guliani is not, he is a mayor! so please choose wisely this time around! we can change it with the president we elect.

there's a important dispute purely in US mass media. No severe mass media argue in different worldwide places. the venture is so enormous that precise acts have not got any actual result. purely governmental movements are useful. the only severe one, Kyoto protocol, become purely a popular step and is not any longer signed and utilized by making use of the biggest polluter. Now, US mass media are changing their message, now they tell: that's genuine, inspite of the undeniable fact that that's a organic cycle (same message: purchase oil). in accordance the 2500 scientists members of the UN scientific group for climate exchange, particular, we've reached the factor of no return. in accordance to them, this point of greenhouse gases has no longer been so intense interior the final 650.000 years, and increasing rapid. modern mammals (alongside with humankind) didn´t exist at that factor. different animals have been on earth as we've seen in movies. particular they disappeared. As you say, it is not an issue of saving life, all of us be attentive to that life will pass forward. Can a man or woman proceed to exist into an atmosphere over a undeniable point of CO2? No, no man or woman can. Can different living beings? particular, some can. maximum green trees and flora, anaerobic beings, etc. it variety of feels that we are going to study the place that time is, i'm hoping we can give up all emissions as quickly because of the fact the 1st people die because of the fact of "organic" asphixiation. because of the fact that 2d. count extensive form 50 years and we can verify if humankind has survived. If no longer, interior the destiny, some living beings will difficult theories approximately why humankind disappeared, (they are going to upload: humankind had some intelligence, no?) Does anyone have faith that this vulnerable being referred to as homo sapiens can proceed to exist to hurricanes, deserts, etc. Does anyone have faith that we are in a position to proceed to exist with any CO2 proportion into the air? of direction, in case you think it then placed further and extra CO2 into the ambience, yet once you don´t have faith it, what are you waiting for?

Answer 4

I think the only way to change things is for the American people to rise up violently in Revolution. Voting will NOT change anything.... the election process is entirely rigged by the fascists in control.

Answer 5

Complaining is part of the change. Getting people to understand and think about who/what has caused our problems will get them to think a little more about who they vote for. Think of it not so much as complaining but as lobbying, attempting to persuade.

Answer 6

I didn't vote for those people.

Maybe things are starting to change.

Like now we have a black Governor in MA.
