2. He's done that before. It didn't work.

The idea is to get people to pressure their reps and senators to vote in favor of whatever. Dems will do it, since they're already in favor of it. But Republican citizens won't do it, since they are in alignment with what their representatives and senators are doing. That's half the country.

Besides, a few phone calls and emails have virtually no effect on reps and senators. They listen to their big dollar donors the most.

That's EXACTLY what he should do. Time to expose them to the Gen. Pop. JaneyVee Nov 2012 #1
