The problem with this thinking is that it's not something that the 99% of us get to decide on.

It's a handful of very powerful lobbyist and their congressional cohorts. They convince some congressmen that it's a fine idea. Those congressmen make deals with other congressman...."You support me on this, and I'll support you on that"....and then there's the congressmen who just don't bother to think things through at all and vote whatever seems easiest or in their best interest at that moment in time.

We can't reach the hard-core close-minded people intent on controlling every minute detail of our lives. But we CAN reach those who might be tempted to make a deal over what seems like a "minor" issue in their eyes and those who might not think it through without a little help. As well as the multitude that probably really do care about us little ol' constituants, but wouldn't know how this bill would affect us until we make our voices heard.
