Everyone hates congress but loves their congressman. That's the problem. They all capitulate on the hill and break, break, break. Then they come home to their districts and talk about how broken Washington is.
Oh man, you have no idea. I live in Indiana so I've had Mitch for 22 years and counting. If we try to get anything done it gets shot down because nothing ever gets done in congress for this reason. Hopefully later this month I will be able to go out to DC for a huge march and talk to some people but its doubtful.

Good luck, I appreciate your desire to effect change. Let me know if anything comes from the DC march. When is it scheduled? Any particular cause?
