4. If you want to...go for it.

I gave up on petitions awhile back.

I've read that that Facebook is successful with some efforts. I only have a lurker account there because it's not my thing. But, it does seem that this is outrageous enough that some group might think about taking up the cause.

But, then...so much is outrageous these days and there so little time and so much to defend that it becomes overwhelming. Got enough to do here in my state to pushing back the Koch/ALEC machine. And, we lost almost all our textile jobs in the 90's with NAFTA. These were big name companies for Home Goods and Apparel manufacturing. Sadly, many of the people who lost those jobs vote Repug. Who could figure that? Many counties left poverty stricken because of that and yet they vote for those who helped take away their jobs.
