All we can do is write to our politicians, but what do we do when [View All]

[ThomCat]

they keep ignoring all our letters and emails?

Have any of us ever received even the slightest hint that they read any of our letters, or care about any of our opinions?

Have any of us ever received anything that wasn't a form letter or an automatically generated response?

Has any politician ever changed his or her position to support what we wrote and said we want them to support, against the wishes of lobbyists and corporate masters? Ever?



If they can weed out the truly progressive candidates so that the only options for us to vote on are the centrist pro-corporate liars like Obama, then our votes don't mean a damned thing.

If they ignore our letters, then writing doesn't mean a damned thing.


So what can we all do that makes a difference, especially those of us who are poor?
