I was told that if you just had 300 people in a congressional district that would work every day, door to door, placing phone calls, etc. They could put in whoever they supported in congress. They said it takes workers on the ground, not just money to advertise, to get people to vote, and convince them to change government. Maybe this is what community organizers do. The blacks, gays, elitist liberals, etc, are not that many in this country, but they have an overwhelming power within the democratic party. Blacks are 13% of the US population, gays are only 1-3%, liberal elitists such as college professors, etc, are only maybe 10%. But they can sway 40% of the population at any given time. If conservatives and christians were only so organized, they could easily sway 60% of the population. Evangelical christians hold about 20% of the US population, small business owners about 20%. Surely these two groups can get another 20% and control the election. But getting them to work for it is another problem. Most of these good people have to work, have families, and don't have time to do the right thing.
