Whether they’re running for Congress or school board — or you’re just out knocking on doors on their behalf — these high-scoring messages should be helpful. And if you haven’t yet listened to Ben Wikler’s This Is the Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy (at 1.2 or 1.3 speed) or read it (how old-fashioned, plus you miss the enthusiasm in Ben’s voice) . . . that’s part 1 of your assignment for the weekend. I’m serious. You should really do this. Part 2 is to share it with anyone you know who feels helpless or hopeless over what’s happening in our country — whether it be a cynical young person or a despairing old person . . . or just the typical person who cares, sure, but doesn’t think he or she can really make a difference. This book could totally lift their spirits, enrich their lives, and lead them to make a real difference.
