Poll: Most effective way (besides in-the-street protests) to make political change happen

7. It's a combo of many things that work

Contacting our reps, getting out in the streets--in number and often, being social media-savvy and being consistently passionate about the cause.

I've been watching a lot about Watergate recently 'because I was 3 when it happened. One of the things that I took note of was that Nixon was going to get away with it until people started marching and demanding that their Reps do something about it. You've got to sway public sentiment and then use that sentiment against 45*. That's the only way this works.

Another thing, I think the Democratic Party needs to do is find a Nancy Pelosi surrogate. I get she's Minority Leader of the House but she is just not good on her feet. I've seen several interviews recently (plus the Town Hall) where her message is incoherent because she's fumbling her answers. We need someone from the House of Reps. who can better articulate our outrage hitting the media.
