Citizens Participation Project
Vive La Bastille. Make one small step for freedom today.
- Issue: Two issues ago we invited readers to give us feedback on this column. Did you find it effective? Are there things you’d like to see changed or improved? Well, we’ve tallied the results and for the most part we learned three things: you like the column a lot; you have a few recommendations for improvement; and while you may read and enjoy the column, you don’t always participate in the action.
- Therefore we all have something to do: the mission for Real Change is to make the improvements you suggested, and the mission for you is to get ready for an important fall election season by registering to vote.
