The Citizens Campaign

I heard the head lawyer behind The Citizens Campaign group interviewed on NPR today. The Citizens campaign is a nonprofit in New Jersey trying to help people play an active role in government that doesnt involve "politics" and donations. The most interesting point I heard is how folks dont know about the huge lists of open smaller commitment positions in government that virtually anyone can get simply by asking for the mayors office for the appointment. And once your in...your one of "them". Anyhoo they have a bunch of video "classes" on their website on how to change laws or snatch up open elected positions and they claim if you are truly interested they'll provide free legal legwork. I think you should at least check out the instructional (free) videos

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
