DoSomething.org Every day I receive petitions from various groups our team has supported in the past and I take the time to read them and evaluate whether or not they are in agreement with my values, then I decide which ones I will support. It's amazing how powerful the Internet has become as a tool for change. I was never quite certain whether or not my signature meant anything to these organizations fighting to make a difference. How could 'I' possibly make any difference in the grand scheme of things?? And then it started happening ... little by little ... the petitions I signed (not all of them of course but enough to feel good about myself) started working.
When people come together with a common goal and take 2 minutes out of their day to participate in this "free", "democratic" process that technology has made so simple for us to contribute to.... good things can happen.
In terms of 'immigration', optimism is returning to those in support of reform. The House needs 218 votes in October to pass any immigration bill. According to a recent estimate, "That means about 23 GOP votes are needed." So immigration reform groups are on the move to target Republicans in the House - and they do this by showing how much their constituents support a real change in policy. What is their greatest weapon? You got it. The Internet. Regardless of the opposition, there is ALWAYS a way - and in today's day in age, it has never been made easier! Immigration aside, take 2 minutes to support the things you believe in... animal rights, civil liberties, the environment ... whatever it may be ... participate! Because you have never had so much power to do so.
