The election is rapidly approaching. Many of us feel helpless because rational thinkers are a definite minority in this state.

Former Utah Humanist editor Richard Garrard eloquently addressed these thoughts in the November 2002 edition of this journal. Here is a short summary of his remarks. The complete original article is here.

1. Learn--get a computer and get on the Internet.
2. Read
3. Change the channel, there ARE decent TV offerings, you just have to look!
4. Listen to Community Radio
5. Watch movies and videos (see #3 above)
6. Act!, write letters to the editor, support causes you believe.
7. Register to vote and go to the polls in November. Make an informed decision!
