How do we as Artists talk so people will listen?

Recently, Margie Gillis participated in a dialogue with a Sun television reporter who questioned her company's right to receive funding from the "public purse".  At a time when the economy is stagnant and when arts funding is being questioned around the world, we need to prepare ourselves to talk back in a strong and forecful manner.  How should we do that?
