American Issues
So I was in Washington on the 22nd, for the annual March for Life demonstration, passing out literature (okay, quietly hyperventilating at the huge crowds while my companions did most of the work), and it occurs to me--this crowd is really huge!
I am continuously wincing over left wing politics. So much of what is done is in the context of itsy-bitsy, out-of-the-way special interest groups. A sellable message is one that appeals to a broad audience. Sheesh! I'm no marketing consultant, but if you want to sell (and you're not) change your image. Get, for a moment, off of the self-righteous soapbox. Take time to wonder why a hundred thousand people would travel to the seat of government to protest abortion, but five people won't show up for your socialist meeting just down the block.
Apathy? I don't think so.
Change your message. Change your attitude. And, hey, if you want some issue-driven, action-focused friends, drop us a line.
