Your idea is workable, Art.

>From my personal experience, taking up single issues and working on them
fervently will yield results no matter how small or big the group is. Of
course working with other groups having a common interest will increase the
effectiveness exponentially. I still feel that we need to have the inner
drive and commitment to the issue and throw ourselves 1000% in the effort.
I am a believer that a single person can make a difference and great
changes in the society are the result of great individuals and not masses.
