Loss of national sovereignty and increased susceptibility to critical food and resource shortages are among these concerns. If globalism worries you, there are things you can do to get the government to resist it.

Try to Get the Government to Resist Globalism

1. Educate yourself about the various ways the United States is dependent on other countries. Reading up on the topic online and in foreign policy magazines are two simple methods you can use to find out more about globalism.
2. Research ways in which the United States can decrease its reliance on the goods and services of other nations. This information will help you when presenting your case to government leaders. After all, if you want the government to resist globalism, you must provide them with alternatives.
3. Take a class on foreign policy at your local community college or university. This will help you learn more about the topic of globalism and you will have an opportunity to exchange ideas with professors and fellow students.
4. Send letters to your Congressional representatives and the president regarding your feelings on globalism. Contrary to what you may believe, government leaders do in fact listen to your opinions, especially if you are a constituent.
5. Write an anti-globalism blog and publicize it. The more readers you get for your blog, the greater likelihood you will inspire others to petition the government to resist globalism.
6. Set up a website with information about the dangers of globalism. Provide a forum on the website where like-minded people can discuss the issue.
7. Write letters to the editor of your local and national newspapers about globalism. Government leaders read these publications.
8. Start your own anti-globalism interest group. Have meetings, organize visits to the offices of your Congressional representatives to speak to them on the issue and set up protests and demonstrations.

Tips & Warnings

• Organizing large numbers of people to write to Congress about globalism is a good idea. The more people who express strong opinions against globalism, the greater likelihood the government will do something about it. Most Congressional leaders are very aware of their responsibility to represent the interests of the people.
