The religious extemists on the right scream and shout "do it our way or else". The equally extremists MoveOn.org on the left scream and shout "do it our way or else" and the vast majority is turned off by both.
There are way to educate and involve a greater number of citizens but screaming and shouting "do it my way or else" is not the answer. It starts with a more educated citizenry and you dont educate through intimidation. BTW, whatever happened to teaching civics in the public schools. That would certainly be part of a longer-term solution. In the short term, I dont have answers, other than focus on particular issues, make your voice heard in a rational manner among those who share your concerns, and call and write your members of Congress and encourage those around you to do the same.
