<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1039582, member: 112&quot;]Not sure why you think my name is Jim - it&#039;s Doug. As for the phrase Time For A Change In Our Change - yeah I came up with it too, about 8 years ago. But then so did Ed Reiter many years ago, and subsequently Diana Wolf. Both of their campaigns died on the vine. Mine had a bit more success, mainly due to timing and my political connections I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what your facing is a whole lot harder than you think, just contacting your Congressmen won&#039;t cut it. It takes a ton of work and many, many hours of phone calls and face to face contacts. My campaign was written up in all of the coin mags, and many newspapers - it was national news. And when the petitions were presented to the President, Vice President, House &amp; Senate and SecTreas they jumped on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is, even though it can be said that the campaign for coinage redesign was partially successful (only half of the campaign succeeded, changing the law of 1890 never happened) - look at what we got ? Look at the designs we have today. It&#039;s not what I had hoped for at all ! In the end I feel we would have been better off to leave things alone and keep what had instead of all the nonsense we have today.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what I mean by be careful what you ask for ! But hey, you wanna give a go - have at it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit - I&#039;m gonna help you out a bit. Had to dig into the net archive files to find it because the web site is long dead, but here&#039;s a bit of what I did - <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031219023849/www.jdsworld.net/change/change_intro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031219023849/www.jdsworld.net/change/change_intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20031219023849/www.jdsworld.net/change/change_intro.html</a> - follow the links.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
