[lbo-talk] A message to WBAI

[Carrol Cox]

Anything that offers a link between an agitator and a person behind a door!
The _process_ of electioneering' can be very powerful; the results are
toothless. I did considerable work in voter registration  in '88; had there
been a movement at that time, some of the people I talked to could have been
incorporated into that movement. Circulating petitions is another powerful
tactic -- again _if_ a movement exists.
