1. Read the day's new web site articles and give each one either a thumbs up or a thumbs down.  This may take from 15 to 30 minutes.  Hardly a big sacrifice.  (I really like this one.)
2. Attend every General Meeting and offer to do something to be of help like bring some cookies or make the coffee or sign people in or greet people at the door or get there ahead of time to help get "stuff" on the tables.
3. Be someone who responds to requests to phone or write to our representatives regarding legislation.
4. Attend hearings at the Capitol -- you'll learn a lot.  Attend city council meetings. 
5. Read relevant books and write a brief report to be forwarded to members.
6. If you are fortunate enough to have a good Tea Party type representative, attend every Town Hall or other meeting to support them.
7. Donate, donate, donate your time and your money.  It doesn't have to be a lot of either one, but a little bit from a lot of people can really make that boat rock.
8. Go to Seminars, Conferences and other appropriate group meetings or rallies.
9. Whatever you do to be productive, enjoy it.  Know that it is very important.  We are so very fortunate to have the time and the resources that allow us to make a difference.

Our power is in our numbers.  When a speaker walks in the door and sees 100 or more people at the meeting, they know they have not wasted their time.  When you attend a Town Hall Meeting or a campaign event or a rally, know that you are recognized as a force to be listened to.  If we want to make a difference, we have to make an effort.
