Chapter Seven: Participation
and Voting

(page references match the sixth
edition)
p. 199 - The citizen militia movement has spawned many
sites. This one gives a reasoned, general overview. For a
more partisan treatment, try U.S.
Militia, the online headquarters for a group
promoting the movement.
p. 211 - Instead of writing to your representative in
Congress, why not write to everyone in Congress?
"How
to Email Every U.S. Congressperson in Ten Seconds or
Less" makes it easy to do that electronically, but
should you? The more people do this, the more junk e-mail
the member will get, and the less effective the technique
will become.
p. 226 - Rock
the Vote says it "is dedicated to protecting freedom
of speech, educating young people about the issues that
affect us, and motivating young people to participate by
registering, voting, and speaking out." It was founded in
1990 by members of the recording industry in response to
attacks on freedom of speech and artistic
expression--including (not surprisingly) lewd lyrics in
popular music.
p. 228 - The Million
Women March offers a personal, illustrated account of
the 1997 event in Philadelphia. The Million
Man March provides a more comprehensive report on the
1995 gathering in Washington, D.C.
