He said "perhaps" people from the statehouses. When we run out of options to get someone else to do this for us we'll finally come to the conclusion that we have to do it ourselves, which is what I've been trying to get across here.

No one who is getting fleeced by these people and these entities considered to be people can afford not to be protesting, writing letters, making phone calls, etc. - en masse.

As long as everybody sits there whining and wondering why 'someone else' isn't doing it in DC or a statehouse or wherever, it won't get done. "Our elected officials" are not on our side, so it can't be expected of them. Don't bother.

There is no one else. Sit here and get fleeced - or act. That's the choice now.
