How much research have you done in political space? This sounds naive.

Far better to spoil the milk (like in that STNG episode) and prove the data gathered to be nonsense or at the very least useless. Fund a few white papers that say such a thing. Best in a few different disciplines. Research is going to be far cheaper and efficient and effective than political pressure (of which I suppose you have none to use).

Also, making this happen will take at least one hyper-charismatic individual, probably an older white man, several tens of millions of dollars to fund it and a fleet of students to make it happen. Just throwing those numbers out there, no research to back it up.
