Numbers matter on important issues... For a Senator or Congressman, 5 people mean nothing, 50 people don't mean much either. 500 people and they start to act, 5000 people and they take action(SOMETIMES) If you take the attitude they won't listen and say nothing, you have accomplished nothing. Speak up, call and write your representatives! You have nothing to lose but your freedoms...
As much as this site is supposed to remain non-political I completely agree with that. There are plenty of forums to talk politics and many more that aren't set up for politics but they get thrown around rather often, much to the detriment to the forum. However, in issues like this where politics plays an important role in actual Pond related issues, I see no reason why CIVIL conversation cannot be had. So far, I think things have stayed quite civil. A true testament to the people who post on here!
