FINISH EDITING/WRITING!

You have two options here. 

1. LAL Buyers Membership -- become part of what will become a great lobbying force!
   Frankly, we need our own lobbyists and political representatives, a unified front that can begin to gain substantial ground in the arenas long dominated specifically by big business and big financial interests for their own sake. We need to be able in a way that gets FELT to boycott products and businesses that do not support and decidedly are destructive to socio-ecological concerns.
   My current favorite example is the American Association of Retired People / AARP. As anyone 50 years of age and over in this country knows, they are a force to be reckoned with, with their own avidly supported agendas all over Washington and the whole country. For those of us who share the views represented by ahhh-thelight.com and wHeretwoworldsTouch.com and demonstrated by the LAL pages, I have long believed there is a major portion of the population, both national and international that is, through these sites, coming to mutually recognize for the first time just what a huge and fairly unified presence we are. 
   I invite us together to look at how we can achieve that in a way that is precedent setting. Membership / donations. 

2. You do not have to be a member to enjoy all the LAL has to offer. The two exceptions are these: With a membership ..
   A. You become a more directly supportive participant in the precedent-setting developments of our gaining together a unified Voice that is a world-wide movement waking up to itself as a presence focused on creating a world in which we all can thrive, with mutual regard. You could say the tip of the iceberg is what you see as the hundreds of thousands of social and environmental / ecological causes that you can name in the world today. Every organization you can identify, every cause of this nature, is representative of interests shared by billions of us who are simply good people trying to live and love and learn and let be the best we can every day. 
   B. The membership fee gives you the advantage of discounts and specials for your purchasing dollars. 
   
   In either case your purchases support this work and this movement.  And in either case, you have 'voting power' and access to the same information.

for members, we could provide options like [just picking numbers]
$10 setup fee
$25/year -- 
$50/year -- 
$100/year -- 
$1000/year -- 
Also for organizations / companies that would routinely like to purchase on that level, fees that seem appropriate ...

We also need an army of volunteers and staff ... and a .org arm for all this that stretches across the whole spectrum of activist/products-services LAL interests.
