The correct course of action for them, is to put up candidates to be elected into office. That's what a democracy is about.

You don't get anywhere by whining and moaning on the streets that life isn't fair. You certainly don't get taken seriously by anyone.

A long time ago, some crackpots thought protests were worth protecting. Can't remember who they were, must not have had much impact...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

heh "A long time ago" doesn't really exist in America.
