Momentum has a “snowball” effect. It starts off small, then grows larger and larger, due to its’ growing exposure. A snowman can’t be built unless someone picks up the first handful of snow and adds more and more to it. Others can help. The biggest “snowman” wins.

Become informed on the issues by reading the information that is available in the “links” section. Discuss them in our forum so you can get a better perspective of how others feel about them. Once you feel confident of your opinion on the matter, express your feelings by contacting your government representatives via e-mail, letters, telephone, fax and, most importantly, by voting.

First, read the forum rules to make sure that what you post conforms to the guidelines. Any topics that are in violation of forum rules or guidelines will be "locked". If a post appears to contain material that is blatantly in violation of forum rules, the offender will be suspended or banned from the forum.
In the upper right-hand corner of the forum's home page, click on the gray button, "New Topic". If you have any attachments, (photos, articles, etc.), click on the "Got Attachments?" button in the upper right-hand corner, then browse to the location on your computer and press "Open."
If you want to quote a statement or comment made in an earlier post, do so in the white comments box and then type your message. Instructions for formatting your text, including "smilies", etc., can be found in the "How To" link.
Comments without attachments will display a "Preview" button. Click on it, and you will be given the opportunity to see what your post will look like before it is published. This gives you the opportunity to edit it before actually posting it. Once it is to your satisfaction, click on the "Submit" button.
Comments with attachments do not provide you the opportunity to preview your content prior to posting, so make certain all is correct, then click on "Upload Now".
