[CitizensTruth] changing times

[Hal Snyder]

I have read the Hedges and Blum articles on Obama recently mentioned  
here, as well as numerous others. I agree with many of the complaints  
but want to point out something else that is going on.

Since the elections of last November, it has occurred to some of us  
that there are ways to work for social change within the system, and  
that chances for positive influence are significantly improved.

I have been putting effort into such efforts, such as running for  
local office in the April election, and working to get the best  
possible result out of the present health care reform legislative  
process. I personally prefer the change in emphasis from dissent to  
organizing for a specific, positive and proximal result.
