If you’re like many people, you care more about elections now than
ever before in your life. You want to make a difference -- and here’s
how you can do it.

This article explains some simple techniques you can use to:

  • Get more people to vote your way
  • Move fence-sitters to action
  • Increase your influence and persuasiveness
  • Motivate people who are philosophically on your side
  • Recognize and take advantage of unexpected opportunities for political influence
  • Avoid alienating those who are unready to change
  • Save time by avoiding arguments with people who are not likely to change

    These suggestions are based on proven techniques in social psychology.
    They can be used in other aspects of your life, too, besides politics.

    Change is a process – it takes time
