Hey Bill - 
Say a little more about "This is the fallacy of the "liberal" form of doing."

 If only it were that simple. Doing social change  work and getting social change done are two very different  realities. Social 
 change comes out of a movement toward a different future which shows up from a multitude of independent faces from the human community.
 Holding elected representives accountable is certainly one aspect of that but its "tail is not large enough to wag the dog." Also, social change is
 more than just change but it is change that cannot be reversed as soon as people's interest moves on to something else.
 This is the fallacy of the "liberal" form of doing.
