Unless you have the ear of the entire congress, you're wasting your time with this illusion that you can make a difference. No offense, but if it were that easy, none of the atrocities that take place on a daily basis would happen, nor would any of the bank bailouts, or any other corrupt shenanigan that takes place. In the grand scheme of things, those in power want to do, they do. End of story. Not to mention, almost all of these politicians are bought and paid for.

And the people that yell to the moon...and forums...about the "government" which is nothing more than a bunch of people that decided to become politicians instead of a teacher...attorney...or a member of the plumbers union...and asked other people "the rest of us" to put them into a position of power...which we do. Then we yell to the moon and forums...about what they do while they are in the business of "government" and reelect them over and over again. So whose fucking fault is it?
It is the fault of the unengaged population that put into place the people they selected to represent them and do their business in the "government".
