Grassroots lobbying is simply citizen participation in government. Formulating or managing effective public policy increasingly requires the ability to amplify voices from beyond the Washington Beltway to reach decision makers. They key to successful grassroots lobbying efforts is assembling people who share common goals and concerns. This is where you come in! Grassroots efforts are vital in educating legislators about the concerns of their voting constituents. If you do not share your views with your elected officials, then your views will not be considered by those elected officials when they vote on an issue that affects you. You can make a difference by simply writing, calling, meeting or faxing your elected official!
