There are three ways to affect political change. The first way is violence -- let's take that off the table for now. So, now there are two methods worth talking about:

1) Voting
2) Civil disobedience.

So, how's the voting working out? Not so good? Maybe we need to seek other methods.
Civil Disobedience? That's what I'm pushing for. But if "We the people" are afraid of getting fined, then civil disobedience is pretty useless as well, isn't it?

Did I say there were three ways to affect political change?

"The first way is violence..."

I was just thinking last night that the Capitol police must be on high alert. If a Senator were unable to vote, what would happen?
