Very good question and one that I have considered--how to unhook the "apathetic." What does it take? In the case of a disenfranchised minority, the only way to get action is for leaders to come forth to motivate others to take similar risks. But in this case right now, minority doesn't apply. The so-called "apathetic" are engaged in many ways already--discussions at home, with neighbors, in supermarket lines, in various Internet forums, on talk shows. I don't believe moderation is the right word. Opinions are fairly well set, on both sides. And the opportunity to express those opinions comes in November. I am hopeful the issue can sustain itself (Congress is helping considerably) to bring out the voters.
