When the nonsense is done at limo stands and private jets, you will see a change.
No politician is deaf to the voices of "the people", but it's a lot easier to get into speaking range when you can afford a professional lobby.
- patio11 16y agoIt takes one phone call to speak to someone at your Congresscritter's office about this. They really do listen and, occasionally, even act on things which generate heat from constituents (ask any Republican who flipped on immigration circa 2007-2008). If you feel strongly about it, make the freaking call. (Or, better, write an honest-to-God on-dead-tree letter.)
