>> Lon Walls 10 rules of political action
>>
>> 1) You have to know how to count.
>> 2) You have to outlive the bastards.
>> 3) Everything is political
>> 4) Ignore partisan politics at your peril.
>> 6) The reason given for a political action is almost never the real
> reason.
>> 7) All you have to do is get 50%+1 of the voters to say "yes".
>> 8) A competent public voice is worth a thousand silent votes.
>> 9) An appointed or elected position is priceless. It will take you 1000
>> times the effort to get what you want if you're on the outside.
>> 10)The people holding office are not any smarter than you are. But they
>> have one big advantage over you - They are serving and you're not.
