I doubt it would be worse here. You know why I think that? Because on so many other items of REAL importance - people just shrug their shoulders and say, "Well I guess they're (our elected politicians) gonna do what they're gonna do." I've heard that sentence SOOOO many times over the years by friends, relatives, neighbors, and people within my hearing / earshot at church, in a grocery store, etc. Too many people seem to think we work for, and need to "obey" them - our elected officials. They work for US ...... not the other way around. That's why ALL Americans need to speak up, and instead of listening to what the politicians SAY - watch what they DO when they write legislation.

I was a director and secretary of a Trout Unlimited Chapter here in Pa. for some years. An elected state representative told our chapter members that on ANY BIG topic of concern in the state, his office might get 1 or 2 post cards or letters with opinions on the topic. That's why I say - most people just shrug their shoulders and roll over. WAAAAY too much apathy by the public. If we marched in the streets by the millions - they wouldn't dare touch Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid ------ or change the laws cutting our 401-k's & pensions. If they can give MULTI-BILLION dollar tax breaks to multi-millionaires and multi-billionaires ....... we SHOULD NEVER allow the politicians (of ANY party) to rip us off from what we've paid into all our working lives!!!!!!!!!! They work FOR US ---------- NOT the other way around.
