and Media Benjamin yelling in committee hearings?

Since Washington acts like they are immune to public opinion, and the constraints of our two party system make that true in some ways, what can we do to bend their will in the direction of public opinion?

Besides the anti-war protests, the long occupy protests seemed to only give the politicians fodder for campaign commercials.

Is more substantial civil disobedience called for?

Also, can insiders do more than oppose internally and leak to the public?

For insiders, they could also do things that would gum up the works more without endangering American lives:

• leak orders that could lead to a world war
  
  
• slow walk on orders
  
  
• refuse to follow orders that would lead to a world war
  
  
• Not pass on orders if they are higher up the chain of command
  
  
• monkey wrench

This would apply to the relevant civilians as well as military.

What can those us who aren't in the DC bubble do to alter the course inside?
