Keep writing those LTE's! Here is a letter successfully submitted to the Los Angeles Times, published November 17, 2007 under the heading Government isn't the answer:

"Fiscal foolishness" is an apt headline for an article presenting the Federal Reserve and Congress as our economic saviors. Kuttner downplays the Fed's role in exacerbating booms and busts. Waxing nostalgic over the Depression, he is obviously a die-hard New Dealer for whom any suggestion that the government prolonged or made things worse would surely fall on deaf ears. My grandfather survived the Depression. (Sadly, he won't likely survive the New Deal.) Most of his savings languish in a bank account paying interest that doesn't nearly make up for the declining dollar. Laissez-faire capitalists and libertarians are not the ones debasing the currency.

Sure, a government can "fix" an economy -- if by fix, you mean destroy.

Know your City Council

San Fernando Valley Region "Officers":

Still a need for volunteers (and leaders)...

Want to pull off a bloodless coup and take over as "Chair" of the Valley LP? Can you lead? More importantly, can you delegate? Or will you come to the aid of your party by bringing your skills to the table to get one of those delegated jobs done? Help the LPSFV by offering to be a Supper Club Speaker Wrangler, a webmaster, a meeting secretary, or an event organizer. Work on a campaign or help locate and fill spots for non-partisan local office. Help us keep in touch with our members and/or recruit new ones. And so forth.
