Political Participation - Government By Consent

Can individuals make a difference? To answer this central question, students hear from campaign volunteers, citizen activists, members of ACORN—one of America’s longest-standing grass-roots organizations—and congressional representatives Tom Hayden and Mike Synar. These committed individuals share their reasons for taking part in the political process, either by working within the system or outside of it.
