the part where we ask for them to call Congressmen, and for them to join our meetings is intended for the readers who already agree with us.  I know we won't be getting any of those apathetics/disenfranchised people to show up at a progressive activists meeting after reading a page and a half, but we can get some liberals who don't know about us to join in.  We did try pretty hard to keep it a short and easy read (could easily be read in about 5 minutes) to keep people's attention, and so that it can be read on the bus, in class, whatever.  We're not looking for a long drawn-out diatribe like that other paper on campus.
