Seriously, there is nothing more powerful than a switchboard full of angry constituents. And the sad reality is that there are not nearly enough of us angry about this to fill the switchboard. --EDIT-- I depressed myself and wanted to add something constructive: Lobbyists exist because groups often want more political clout than their members could achieve simply by voting. With lobbying it is possible for a small group to achieve an out-sized influence on politics. I think the most effective thing we can do is organize a lobby group. The first thing I would look for is how do industry lobbying groups form. Is there another industry which was threatened by government action and organized to defend itself? How did competitors come to agree on shared goals to lobby for? What was the first step? Why are there some industries where one lobbying body represents all very effectively, and other industries where, even on shared goals, individual companies have more lobbying power than an industry wide lobby? Here I'm specifically thinking of the EFF vs Google and Microsoft and IBM and some others.
