	Grassroots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A grassroots political movement is one driven by the constituents of a community.
		Faking a grassroots movement is known as astroturfing.
		Astroturfing is similar in practice of the grassroots movement, except that those behind it, the lobbyists, hide their agenda by appearing as specific individuals voicing their opinions.

		Grassroots was started in 1980 as the first of a series of community newspapers designed to give a voice to the 'voiceless' and oppressed peoples of South Africa.

		Grassroots struggled financially, but was assisted by small donations and the advertising sold to small Cape Town traders.

	The Inside Story: Grassroots
		The term 'grassroots' usually conjures up an image of citizen activists like Lois Gibbs knocking on doors in Love Canal, or a group of citizens marching on Washington demanding civil rights or gun control.
		CMA's grassroots 'volunteer' network is primarily (if not entirely) composed of member companies' management and retired chemical industry workers.
		For instance, a grassroots manager might seek out a plant manager to 'volunteer' to write a letter to his Congressperson, or Monsanto's grassroots manager would call up a number of retired Monsanto employees asking them to call their representatives with a message scripted by CMA or the company.

	[No title]
		Grassroots groups with paid staff, or with mixed paid staff and volunteer staff, are much more likely to obtain foundation grants than organizations with just volunteer staff, or with no staff, only a volunteer board of directors.
		Grassroots organizations need to develop public identities (i.e., become publicly known for something important), use the media, construct more attractive funding packets, and not the least, document what they've done and tell their stories better.
		Some grassroots leaders might worry that working in consortia and coalitions could highlight their competitors for funds more than it would showcase their own organizations, particularly if they are smaller or more limited in scope than their consortia and coalition partners.

	Amazon.com: Grassroots: Music: 311 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Grassroots 9.5/10 - Title track does a fantastic job of combining 311's many styles into a whole greater than the some of its parts.
		Overall, this is an album that-- despite limited commercial success upon its release-- has grown in reputation to be one of the bona-fide classics of the genre.
		The same year "Grassroots" was released, Korn unleashed their debut which led to endless groups with superior sounding recordings (mainly to cope with the increased detuned air being pushed around) but with very little to say for themselves.

	Grassroots democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grassroots democracy is a tendency towards designing political processes where as much decision-making authority as is practical is shifted to the organization's lowest geographic level of organization.
		To cite a specific hypothetical example, a grassroots national organization, such as an NGO, would place as much decision-making power as possible in the hands of a local chapter instead of the head office.
		As such, grassroots organizations exist in contrast to so-called participatory systems, which tend to allow individuals equal access to decision-making irrespective of their standing in a local community, or which particular community they reside in.

	RenewAmerica Handbook - How the Grassroots Works
		At the same time, many at the grassroots are inseparable in the public mind from the highest levels of political power, because of their effectiveness in influencing elected officials to change public policy.
		Unfortunately, the grassroots remain largely dormant, due to the fact that even principled political leaders have never learned to fully inspire the grassroots to meaningful action and enlist their full help.
		Because "the grassroots" is mainly an attitude that centers in wanting to preserve freedom, those who wish to mobilize the grassroots for a particular cause must respect and even nurture the attitude of freedom and creativity that is the very reason those at the grassroots are involved in the cause in the first place.

	311 : Grassroots - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Perhaps one of the 1994's most underrated releases, Grassroots artistically ignores corporate rock's temptations of conformity, which consequently threaten the possibility of mainstream airplay.
		While Grassroots lacks any hit-worthy singles, it does offer plenty of highlights including the rhythmically eclectic "Omaha Stylee," the desirous sing-along "8:16 A.M.," and funky hip-hop/rock hybrid "Applied Science." The album's remaining tracks prove equally essential as they individually piece together the Grassroots puzzle, which combined provides a splendid overview of 311's signature diversity.
		Despite the less-refined outturn, Grassroots remains 311's finest moment artistically, and listeners of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, and Rage Against the Machine will find this CD an indispensable addition to their music collections.
