Effective Grassroots Strategies

Grassroots lobbying programs generally utilize two approaches: a qualitative and a quantitative approach. CNH continually strives to encompass both strategies toincrease the number of active participants while maintaining a state-by-state, personal approach.

The quantitative approach to grassroots lobbying is nothing more thannumbers. This is important, especially since natural health activists have not been traditionally well organized, and of course the fact thatlegislators receive hundreds of phone calls and letters daily. Clearly, 30 phone calls are better than one. Numerous personal phone calls, letters and visits can repeal or help pass pending legislation.

The grassroots qualitative approach capitalizes on long-term constituent relationships with elected officials and CNH activists and their staffs. This can be achieved through repeated personalized letters, personal visits, and other professional, yet personal, contact.
