(50,254 posts)There are Dems here who could work with you on demonstrations(although the Capital area seems to have been designed to be difficult to demonstrate IN...some people who are willing to do actual civil disobedience might be needed(perhaps we need a Code Gold and Blue).
The keys to shifting anything politically, though, will lie in getting candidate recruitment started A.S.A.P. and in training people in low-cost campaign techniques, including social media.
We can't out-money them, but we can out-cyber and plain old out-hustle them.
The other big factor will be in finding some way to overcome the great divide between enviros and workers with "brown" jobs...we need, in my view, something like an Alaska People's Forum or Social Forum to generate ideas for a new economy up here that gets us out of having to poison ourselves just to feed our kids.
