Their only issue is that enough dirty hippies are being heard that it seems that the gravy train might start running a little slower and a little lighter than normal.</p> <p>In their mind they’re getting what America owes them and they have no notion that their actions might actually harm America.

A more effective way is to write to Your Senator. I know, they think those who write them are a pest to be delt with.

What works best is to be short and to the point. (as I will try to be). ,State the issue/why you for/against an issue.
