Ideas
Ideas (Please append @SIG@ to the end of your comment):
Is there a better name for this page? It may end up going beyond just talking about lobbying government. -- Dpic DateTime(2008-01-31T01:49:32Z)
Possibly LoCoAdvocacy or LoCoActivism ? -- Dpic DateTime(2008-01-31T02:25:36Z)
LoCoGovernmentAdvocacy -- MatthiasUrlichs DateTime(2008-01-31T10:16:00Z)
I think that LoCoActivism is better because activism is in a great part is government advocacy and lobbying but also getting press and media attention and activism is more specific than advocacy which is something that all LoCos do. -- Dpic DateTime(2008-01-31T18:05:56Z)
