Okay, so apparently expressing an opinion leads one to automatically and merrily rowing a boat to nowhere. So this is a safe, perennial, an ever salable clicktavist "discussion", based only on a link to some other place, with no actual call to action. So be it. I will express no opinions, and certainly not request for anyone to actually DO anything away from one's keyboard.
A moment of explanation, if I may be permitted, without any questioning of activists or bunny rabbits and their ability to effect change. This "Discussion" which may magically morph into a "Thread" is hat-tipped to blavine2 who, on [his/her/whatever I'm having trouble keeping up] second post, asked for confirmation about how his/her/whatever's House congress-critter had voted on a low level bill.
To blavaine2, I DU-mailed this link. Any of those who have may actually and accidentally stumbled upon this OP because it had the word in America , or DU in the title, are excused.But before you go, my question remains
To those of you who remain, again I express no opinion, no call to action. That of course means nothing and I, of course am wrongz. I am obviously incapable doing anything good in the world. just by providing a tool that gives an uninformed voter, or more likely non-voter apparently, impartial informationz! How their elected representative-critterz has voted is IRRELEVANT! IGNORANCE leads to Ponys-Pooping-Glitter-Wonderfulness to EVERYONE!! And what has the grassroots ever accomplished by, like KNOWING STUFF? HUH? COMMIE! When " Let's list grass roots activism that has changed federal policy involving big bucks." is a totally unanswerable question because is so logically wrong because it's not even a question! Grassroots is just another name for fertilizer!
So, have some more Cheetos, and relax. Click on a DURec anywhere, and know that you've done your part to make this a better world! What more can you do, anyway?
To those of you who wonder what the original question was, go here.
If there is a third installment of this pointless series, I will try to work this useless link into it. http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=183
