<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CohibaCris, post: 8810, member: 904&quot;]I guess I would want them to send or authorize an email blast with the link embedded.&nbsp; That was all I was saying.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that your considerable efforts led to the collection of the responses received to date.&nbsp; The fact is that we wouldn&#039;t know of the Presidents approval ratings unless the polling companies (paid considerable monies) called the average American in their homes and made it as easy as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I work with a volunteer group that supports a professional society.&nbsp; The apathy of those that PAY for the priviledge of joining the group is amazing, and this is with concerned professionals.&nbsp; the fact that average Americans don&#039;t care about their coinage doesn&#039;t anger me, but it does speak to the larger issue of apathy.&nbsp; Frankly, I do my part and try to encourage those around me to enjoy and learn about their coinage. But I do take issues with one point you make...</p><p><br /></p><p>The US is a republic, not a democracy.&nbsp; I have neither money, power, nor influence to change the operating meat grinder known as the US Gov&#039;t.&nbsp; I am young, but one thing I do know is that I must convince my congressional representatives to fight for this change.&nbsp; And while it is important to me, I do believe it will be a hard sell without 1000 names on paper in my district to be heard and listened to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Resignation:&nbsp; probably.&nbsp; Apathy, not in my opinion.&nbsp; ND can fight because he has influence in the Sun Tzu way.&nbsp; He is a counselor to the Congress given his occupation.&nbsp; I can help craft a message, but without convincing those with power, money or influence to convince those in office, our system ofers little in the way of mechanisms for change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the length, I got wordy.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Cris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
