the people will win, we no longer matter. UNTIL WE ORGANIZE by the millions and throw them all out of office and replace them with REAL Reps of the people.

IF this passes, that is hopefully going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back as the Unions have promised.

Other than that, at least we can annoy them and let them know they are being watched, in case some of them actually care.
