At this point in time, we have created this page as a placemark reminder to pass along our advice on activism, but in the interim we provide below a few excerpts from the free online “Activists Handbook” followed by a link to the list of the 1000 tips it contains; not a typo, 1000, consequently, expect some “fluff” amongst the viable tips…
-
The next time you’re with family or friends, discuss a particular cause, instead of letting the conversation drift to celebrity gossip.
-
Be mindful of the fact that the news channels synthesize events in ways which make the individual feel as if activism is hopeless.
-
Try to make friends that are politically involved, instead of maintaining the same old-school friends.
-
Stay focused on one particular cause, it’s fine to take up many causes, but always recognize your main cause.
-
Call a big bank that was bailed out in 2008 by the people and ask them if they would be willing to bail out poor families.
-
Go to a protest, do not let the bogus stigma propagated by the mass media keep you away from protests.
-
When your friends talk to you about new consumer products, change the topic to political causes instead.
-
If you’re going to a protest, try to bring as many of your friends as you can.
This is the link to “The Activists Handbook” listing 1000 tips on doing something to fix America and the planet.
Remember to check back, we have some interesting tips in addition to those in the activists handbook… Such as, body language to avoid setting off any of those pepper-spray-happy policianidiots…
Also in the interim, check out our activism section of our Knowledge Base page and/or the “What Will Fix America” page for issues to become an activist about…

+++++ DRAFT UNDER CONSTRUCTION +++++
“Pardon our dust”: we realize that we are “launching” this effort while it is still in a very incomplete and even raw state, but felt compelled to start “getting the message out” as soon as possible seeking concerned citizens around this eroding planet to join this new movement, because the countdown is on to the 2012 U.S. elections, and you and I have a lot of work to do before then. We will complete and refine this content and will officially launch this “Fix America” segment under a new, more appropriate website name/URL, separate from this obscure point of origin which we are only initially using to “draft” the eventual website which will go “live” by the middle of this year… Will you or someone you know join us in this sincere and monumental effort?
