I'm not having any measurable impact.

I try to donate a little to the food bank and stuff, but I'm concerned for my job and have a family to support, so it's not much.

I also try to stand up for injustices, especially in the "justice" system. For example, I recently encountered a police department that was going to charge people with misdemeanors when the law calls for summary offenses. I was able to have the DA's office educate that department. I'm currently dealing with the state police on an issue of one of their troopers holding a false charge against my wife knowing that he didn't have probable cause. The state police think this is ok.

If you’re able to influence a DA, your impact is measurable dude. Don’t sell yourself short, it isn’t easy to stand against injustices.

I'm not really able to influence the DA. I've contacted them about rights violations related to a trooper knowingly holding a charge without probable cause, and they won't do anything.

The only reason they did something with this police department is because the grading was very clear in the statute and the police department posted false information about it on Facebook. So it was blatant and public. Unfortunately this false charge issue is only blatant and not public. So they just want to sweep it under the rug. Although I have contacted an investigative reporter to maybe change this. And maybe an injunctive relief civil rights filing with the FBI/DOJ.

You are trying to help people when you could just as easily be watching TV and drinking Coors. You're positively impacting society.
