Don't just sit there...pass out information
 

Be Ready and Listen

How would you respond at the spur of the moment, to someone who suddenly says the following to you?

“I am so tired of hearing these things out of Washington. I wish I knew a place that could
show me what I should be doing other than
waiting for the next election.”
 

One easy, non-threatening thing you could do is to say:

“I have found a group of folks just like you describe. It has been very helpful to me, and there are positive things I am doing now. Like you, I did not want to wait until the next election. The web site is named Marietta OH 9-12 Project.com and let me give you this card with their web site address and their key principles printed on it as a reminder.”

This is a very low-key way of responding to your friend’s comment and making them aware of  Marietta OH 9-12 Project without having to go into a long discussion.

Of course, if they are open to a discussion about Marietta OH 9-12 Project, go ahead and have it and then close the conversation by giving them another card and telling them to share it with someone else.

If they decline, thank them and change the subject.
