Read your local and regional papers for articles about growth issues. Join and get on the mailing lists of local organizations. Attend local municipal meetings, including planning commissions. Find out who's involved and making things happen. Call your municipal and county planning departments and ask them for information, including meeting schedules. Check with the county courthouse or local Republican or Democratic Committee for the names and addresses of your state representatives and other public officials. These are things that many of our key supporters do to keep informed and develop contacts that can make a real difference on important issues.
