1. Ignorance is not Bliss: too many people don’t know who we are
2. Nearly 100 New Members of Congress and 80 members of the Missouri Legislature know little or nothing about Health Centers
3. State and Federal Deficit Reduction Efforts: we are now big enough to matter
4. The Appearance of Power is Power5. Elected officials fear the voters more than ever

◦ Grassroots advocacy is about one thing – building power.
◦ Power is not measured by the number of advocates we have on a list.
◦ Power is not measured by the number of small (or even large) victories we win every now and then.
◦ Power must be measured by our ability to successfully advance our own agenda and to make it unthinkable that any other political or special interest would ever want to take us on.
