My brother is a political activist in Massachusetts, so sometimes he sends me email asking me to get my friends to send their opinions to public planners, etc. Isially thats a little awkward, since I don't really feel comfortable trying to influence local politics 3,000 miles away, but if I can bring it to the attention of people in his constituency than I have done some good. Right now he is trying to organize Cambridge and Somerville people to push for better mass transit. His primary goal is to extend the Green Line to Union Square, which seems like a reasonably good idea to me. If your actually interested you can check out the Somerville Step and CTPS websites. Public comment ends on wednesday, so if you care, make sure you make your voices heard ASAP.
