16. When a large number of people actually join

Mar 27

a National protest out in the streets, politicians who hold office start to pay attention. They understand that these are actual voters and that others watching are encouraged to see that they are not alone in their anger and frustration. The whole point is to let the citizens of this nation know that they are not helpless or without a voice. People who don’t want to “be in the streets” can take other active rolls such as registering to vote, or voting for the first time.
Don’t you believe that the best way to lose this precious thing called democracy is by ignoring those who want to rob us of it?
