| 39. I think it has to be a national movement |
|
but one that includes a focus on local office and the changes that can be made there, although running for national offices would be great too. When you think about it, we'd have a lot of power to change the country if we could take power in local offices across the nation... living wage laws in several towns and cities? Public health care in a few states? These would be the beginnings of a wave of change that would take over the country.
And I think that's the closest thing to immediate change we can ask for.
