the ACLU makes it easy to email or fax your representitives about issues they've identified. i've actually received (snail)mail responses to my actions on their site.
you pick the topic you agree with, optionally customize the form letter, type in some address info, and they figure out who to fax it to and do the rest. this is my current favorite form of activism.
amazon has many disparate systems serving many needs for its business. do not assume that transaction middleware was found necessary for running the frontend "retail" website (all the/exec/obidos links, which covers every new product line Amazon has ever entered). there is much business to be done behind the scenes to move all those books, there are other ("non retail") sections of the site, and there's more then one way to skin a cat.

i think we should get rid of elections and just hand out voting points applicable to any current micro-issue, like here on slashdot. use *that* or lose it, baby! this voting system kicks ass.
hmm, i suppose we'd still need judges (or some independant review body) though, or else majorities could screw over minorities too easily.
