239. Hardly fair to mention them in the same breath.
One is for candidates pledging to bigotry and the other is by voters saying what they want their elected representative to do.

Petitioning an elected representative is one Constitutional right. Telling your representative what you want is a free speech right.

As far as winning concessions back, I think that is not realistic. Clinton did it. NO one reversed his cuts. No one is going to reverse Obama's either, certainly not Obama. We'll be lucky if he reverses the Obama tax cuts.
