Our greatest obstacle in achieving reform is that people don't know about the draconian laws allowing nearly unfettered confiscation of property by the government. In my experience, once people hear about the problem, they are almost certain to agree that the current system is unfair. The best places to distribute pamphlets are in locations where others are likely to read them. Distributing them on the street may be less valuable, since people often discard such pamphlets immediately. Our message will have a much greater effect if you spread it to people who will be receptive to you.
FEAR often receives requests for speakers from various groups around the country.
However, our budget doesn't allow any travel, so we have to turn many of these down. If you would be willing to speak to a group on behalf of FEAR, contact Leon Felkins . Lobby local, state, and federal officials One of the most effective ways of achieving reform is through grassroots activism, specifically by making your concerns known to your elected officials. In California, FEAR's coordinated grassroots efforts a few years ago helped change that state's forfeiture law. If we can do this in California, we can do it in smaller states, too.
