Include(LoCoMenuHeader) Lobbying your local governments, whether it be at the town/city, state, or feral level, to adopt Ubuntu, Linux, Free Software, and Open Document Formats, especially for schools, can be one of the single most effective and powerful things your LoCo team can do.

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)
