- Recent suggestions for increasing public presence and publicly
supporting metrication are good. If we could raise more money, could
we actually do some lobbying?
End of Survey.
Some short analysis:
- We (the USMA) needs to be actively doing things and advertising what
we're doing so that people know what's happening with their money and
have a solid reason to donate.
- In being more active, we'll be able to reach out and tell people
that the organization needs money and what it needs money for (and
thus where it's being spent)
- We should also be active at a lobbying level. Need to make sure we
don't cross the 501(c)(3) boundaries for this though. Might just be
better to setup a partner PAC.
