My personal gauge for any org or movement is 1/10. If you can get at least 1/10 of the total participants to really get involved, then I think that is about the best you can hope for. True, there will be some posers who are just out to make themselves look good to others. There will always be people like that. You can't stop them and you can't change them. Just thank them for their participation and KIM.

It isn't even about being active in the community, it is about that one action (facebook post or picture changing) not meaning anything. If someone emails a senator and never have any future action or thoughts related to Caylee again it actually has potential unlike repeated other actions. Why not make a move that is for real and not just for show?
If someone donates money or posts a link to an organization because they think it makes them look cool or they want attention awesome, because work still got done and they can feel good about themselves. Reposting to turn on the porch light doesn't do a damn thing other than let someone feel good and advertise that they want to appear concerned or that they care.
