The goal of Common Cause is to help in the rebuilding of this nation. The membership goal of 100,000 members for the first year was reached in 23 weeks and memberships continue to poar in. Crisis Much needs to be done and there are few who are properly organized to do it. We Meeting must end the war now. We must bring about a drastic change in national p rio r ities. We must renew our attack on pov erty and discrimination. And we must build a new America. Many people today recognize that na tional priorities must be changed, but they do not know how to go about changing them. They are shocked by the facts of poverty and pollution, but do not know what to do. Politics and government need to be re vitalized. State governments are feeble; city government is archaic. The Congress of the US needs change. Political parties are no t structured to be responsive to the will of their members. Most parts of the governmental system have grown so rigid that they cannot respond to disaster. The are ill-designed for contem porary problems. The solutions are not mysterious.
