Yeah! If the politicians in Washington, or even at the state level, are too darn corrupt to deal with, or even to reason with properly, we gotta go back to the Grassroots and organize and resist locally! The locals have a right, have a say in what directly affects their own quality of life! In fact, the principle of Grassroots Resistance might just have applications in the furthering of many progressive causes in the era of Citizens United, when all of our major politicians, or at least the vast majority of them, have been bought off by the lobbyists, billionaires and corporations.
