10. Even more important than family and friends
is emailing people who don't normally get any dissenting point of view. You know, the people who send you the forwards that you immediately delete? With whatever reactionary bull is making the rounds? The ones that list whole pages of email addresses of people who have forwarded and reforwarded the message.

I used to delete these. Then I thought, what a waste of a perfectly good audience. So I began putting together simple, non-insulting, hard-hitting little refutations to whatever nonsense they sent my way. Cite it. Add a graphic graphic and URL. And then hit Reply to All.

I've had people write back to me,"I didn't know that - why didn't they tell us that on TV?" I've also had them outraged, but then so am I.
