13. I hope you all feel satisfied...

...because you didn't affect the debate at all; you got your email address into the database for the Alan Grayson campaign (take a look at the page: "Paid for by the Committee to Elect Alan Grayson&quot . This is what's known in political circles as a "butterfly net": a way to capture names of sympathetic supporters for future use (who would think Grayson would be a politician?).

If you really care about this issue, you're going have to do it the hard way; close your web browser and WRITE AN ACTUAL LETTER OR EMAIL to your elected officials explaining why you're opposed IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
