I don't see the necessity to play exactly the same game our political establishment is playing (raising millions, spin-doctoring, bribery) in order to beat the system from within. It may be one way to do it, but it's costly and seems extremely inefficient. Hopefully there are other ways to achieve something. Frankly, I am unsure about your intentions for writing the above post. You insinuate that organizations like the EFF are not suitable to fight the fight for privacy. You make this look like a gargantuan effort to even get started. Are you trying to discourage people or have you just given up?

My point is that it is, objectively, a gargantuan, costly, and difficult effort to make a significant change to U.S. federal law. Wishing it was easier does not make it so. My disrepectful tone was not nice and I apologize for that. I just get so frustrated when I see people who seem unwilling to face that reality. Your comment above read to me like a hopeful programmer saying "I've read a few books and done some coding exercises but none of that seemed to create the next Google." (And yes, I am saying it is that hard to make big changes in the law.)
