 We need to give activists an effective mouthpiece, PR support, and a way to mobilize and organize volunteers. So far we have millions of people signing petitions -- which is all well and good -- but why can't we have millions of people spending a few minutes a day/week/month directly working on these efforts? Even if it's just categorizing documents, writing about the issues, and reaching out to pull more people into the fray.

 The biggest issue I can't figure out is how to keep the press from writing about things prematurely. When you're doing everything in public, it's going to be hard to get the right message across; we need to be able to show the press the 3 core things they should care about, to keep speculation down and keep the message on track.
