I will stay involved with my wallet and my pen.
From my policy project, I learned that money indirectly affects policy. I will pay closer attention to how money affects future policy and how it affects me. Furthermore, I will spend my own money wisely. Before donating to politicians, I will find out what Bills they sponsor and what financial connections they have to it. If they do not have previous political experience I will see what propositions they may have given money to as private citizens.
From my group project, I learned to take letter writing more seriously. Congressmembers and their staff like to read letters only from their own district's population the majority of the time. By the way, when we voice an opinion, they prefer to see hand written, rather than typed, mass-produced letters. Any one letter can make a difference, but they pay more attention when they get ~ 50 + on the same issue. So also get your friends to write.
Finally,
I will continue to canvass for certain causes,
I will continue to read Kaiser Foundation newsletters,
I will continue to vote.
