“So one may almost say that the theory of universal suffrage assumes that the Average Citizen is an active, instructed, intelligent ruler of his country. The facts contradict this assumption.”
—James Bryce (1909, 35)

All that we can ask of all of you is that you send this link or the .pdf to everyone and anyone you believe can help us get this perspective out into the discourse. Post it on blogs, media outlets, discussion fora, you name it.
This is an opportunity, a teaching moment. We have to seize it.

You can find your congressman's web site here:
http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml
Dig around and find their PR person, email directly to them.
The other way gets lower priority. Even better is to call their office.

I saw some guy from a Cambridge, Massachusetts think tank/online-publication yesterday doing just this yesterday. I think his name was Mac Johnson. He could have used some coaching from more moderate voices here. It seems that the only ones challenging the notion that it is not about gouging are primarily righties. Moderates and lefties need to get on board.
You guys are a shining example. I give this press release 99 out of 100 points. Keep up the good work.
