"MoveOn, the just-in-time civic action group, is the catalyst for a change occurring in politics - that of ordinary citizens finding their voices and collectively pooling their political clout. In MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country, these citizens take their messages offline to jump-start an even broader public dialogue. Written by MoveOn members, the fifty essays here demonstrate the power of the individual through sharing personal stories, and include tips and resources to turn inspiration into action."--BOOK JACKET.
