Wallet Cards
I'm surprised more organizations don't create wallet cards like this:
Moveon.org has created a
wallet-sized PDF file on procedures for of dealing with polling place problems (including phone numbers and URLs). The ACLU used to have something like this for people who felt they were being hassled by the police--the wallet card listed procedures to follow (including what you could legally be required to do) and advice on how to deal with uncooperative officers (their advice was pretty common sense--don't give the nice officer a reason to pull his sidearm). Such situations can be confusing, and it's often hard to tell how to proceed. (I wasn't sure, for example, whether or not it was not technically illegal to flip off an Indiana State Trooper until the situation came up. (It's not--but I would have felt a little more at ease if I'd known this before I did it.)
Leftist politics aside, it seems like there are lots of organizations and movements could use things like this for education and action campaigns.
