In my community recently, 3 elementary school board members were up for re-election. Two unprecendented things happened:

1) Three people, none of whom have occupied public office before, ran against them, and

2) All three incumbents lost.

Hoo, hah! The teachers and administrators are looking over their shoulders now, let me tell you. The margin of victory was about 2 - 1, quite decisive. And large amounts of money to buy publicity, attack opponents, etc., were not employed. Change can happen if you are willing to be an agent of change, even if it's to get up off your butt, read the local paper, and show up at the polls.
