Reply #18: An excellent idea

Though I think it could be broadened to 3-4 issues at once with 3-4 separate group of targets. I was once in an organization in San Francisco called the Women's Action Coalition which had a membership of 300-500 women. Committees were formed to work on individual issues, the campaign (lobbying, protest, etc.) was mapped out in committee and then broght to the general membership for suggestions and fine-tuning. Doing this allowed us to work on more than one issue at a time without getting bogged down with too many voices involved in the planning process.

The main stream is important. Send out press releases to the media but also pinpoint journalists who have reported on a specific issue and feed them information.
