Which is great and I really, really hope it works, but... I'm old enough to have helped elect several really promising candidates who then got completely co-opted by the machine almost the second they set foot in DC. Something to do with stock portfolios, corporate slush funds, and committee placements. Keep trying, of course.

But the real action is in the local elections. Pfz has already purchased your congressional reps. But even they can't be bothered to buy every school board member, mayor, and county commissioner. And you can actually show up at the public meetings and hold their feet to the fire, as we've seen a lot lately. Why is the FBI even interested in moms who protest at schoolboard meetings? Because that's actually important, actually makes a difference, and it threatens the federal pay-to-play apparatus when large numbers of people realize that they *can* successfully fight back against the machine (and how!).

The feebs know: if anybody ever storms their corrupt-to-the-roots castle demanding accountability... it'll probably include veterans of the school-board wars ;)
