more works better

Hundreds of citizens show up to fight Tampa General Hospital’s garage expansion plans. Of course, hundreds also supported TGH’s parkland swap deal, so the City Council ruled in favor of expanding the parking. Out in East Hillsborough, hundreds of citizens gathered to voice opposition to a bikini bar that may or may not open in Valrico.

I don’t think it really matters specifically what each of those people said. The impact and impression was made based on just the number of those who showed up. Here’s the deal: for whatever cause you may support, you must get a critical mass behind you. Intelligent letter writing, alternative ideas, and even proof of harm is not enough to evoke changes. If no one shows up, you will be ignored.
