A lot of people just don't pay attention to anything outside their own small world - their families and their jobs. They have to be made aware before they will be motivated to do anything. If all you ever see is Fox "News," or if you don't pay attention to the news at all, you won't know about any of this. So we have to break through the lack of information and the misinformation first. Each of these demonstrations is larger than the last. Once you get to 3.5%, change starts to happen. That's the goal right now. So sign up and get involved and tell everyone you know.
