I am looking at where power or “the power” seems to lie.
It seems to lie in money.
Grass roots organizers have been able to reach a wider audience than ever before.
They are doing it right.
This is the right direction to go.
They are spreading increased awareness and knowledge.
Even though, for now, the media ads appear to be more powerful, this is not the same as spreading the truth about the issues.
The more people deal face-to-face with each other and learn about the issues, the more they will be able to tell the difference between what is true about them and what is merely an ad campaign.
The truth feels different.
The truth has a beneficial effect on everyone in the community.
The truth lives on long after the glow of an ad campaign when the community has to deal with the results.
Then the real cost will be seen and the real power will take effect.
