Alan Borovoy: Get involved. There are many ways of getting involved. I couldn't lay out
a whole program in the abstract. But I mean I gave the example of something I did when
-- before I was professionally employed, sending out those letters to these Florida hotels.
People contest. They can petition. They can present briefs. I'd like to see a number of
young people register on something other than the interests of young people. I'd like to
see them register on issues of race, creed, colour or the right to dissent or some of
the big major political issues.
Why can't they arrange to meet with a municipal committee, legislative committee or some of
the political authorities, or the police and present their point of view? Do a little work,
look it up, read about it, consult experts. Sure, they're not experts but they can find
experts who I know they'd be happy to talk to them. And maybe they can get into the -- into
the melee that way.
