I'd like to know my action is leveraged, or helps provide leverage to others. I send emails to my elected officials (personalized like a boss) when I see an effort that starts to gain traction and I can see the power of numbers. If one of the big companies, or a couple of them, came together to say "we're going to make a stand, we need you behind us" I would be there loud and proud, I would email and share and talk about it in person. I want to be part of a movement, and I want to know that my effort isn't wasted or worthless. Give me that and you'll have my energy and voice.

That's pretty much my plan. Email is too easily ignored. I'm going to start sending letters to Feinstein (Her unapolegetic stance has me particularly annoyed at her. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/06/18796204-nsa-snoo...) and my other local reps.
