Ice breaker! When was the last time you: • wanted something, • but couldn’t get it / do it yourself, • and did something else instead so that the person who could do it would do it • And you got it / got it done
Ice breaker! For example: • I want an iPhone like the cool kidz • I don’t have money but my parents have • Thy won’t buy it though • Deal: if I get an A this year, you’ll buy me an iPhone • Outcome: I got a B+. So they bought me a Samsung Galaxy instead
Ice breaker! If you can’t get it, you strategize to get someone who can get it to get it for you. Applying pressure
Ice breaker! If you can’t get it, you strategize to get someone who can get it to get it for you. Lobbying
Ice breaker! If you can’t get it, you strategize to get someone who can get it to get it for you. Representative Democracy

What is the California Budget? Mobilize the Immigrant Vote 2010 Issue Analysis Forum
The Budget gets smaller but the Need goes Up… Ex. Health Services $18.7 billion $16 Billion $14.5 Billion • The deficit translates to a shrinking budget…In less than 3 years the budget has gone from $103 Billion to $82.9 Billion and its continuing to get smaller. Less Money Less Services!
