Furthermore, they pointed out that Common Cause is registered as a lobbyist in the State of Ore gon and in all other states in which registration is possible. At the luncheon, both Mrs. Green and Mr. W yatt made further statements to the effect th at the national leadership of Common Cause is unrepresentative of its membership.

I t is difficult to im agine any organization with more democratic pro cedures, short of a iuwn meeting.” Mrs. Green and Mr. W yatt also objected to having to cope with volume letter mail ing from members of citizens' lobbies. Habernigg and Ixiwenstein stated that “it has always been our under standing that effective repre sentative democracy requires communication between con stituents and their repre sentatives. If they cannot be counted through letters to the congressmen, and by working through groups like Common Cause, what are citizens to do?" "W e believe Common Cause to be one of the most effective tools yet developed for citizens' participation in government. Many legis la tors welcome input from their constituents on impor tant issues. The growing multitude of citizen members of Common Cause pay their dues and p articip ate in making it the responsible and effective organization it is. They need and want access to their représenta lives, and we intend to con tinue to work toward that end.” Washington High School students depict Wizard of Oz characters.
