I've posted about contacting the DOJ multiple times, only to be met with a lot of whining: "ohhh that won't help!" or "yea, good luck with that!". But no one has offered any alternative suggestions or ideas about what to DO. Doing something is better than sitting on our butts whining on DU isn't it? I mean I appreciate DU, for giving us all a place to whine and gripe but nothing will change if some action isn't taken. Oddly, when it comes to taking action, there's a lot less interest in that than in just passive griping. With all the social media at our disposal and DU having as many members as it does, it sure seems like something could be done or more attention could be brought to this issue somehow. But maybe I'm just, you know, a Pollyanna.

Anyway, I'm going to email DOJ again - this time at the above email address. I'll probably send a paper letter and/or call too. If they're bombarded with enough of these 'complaints', maybe some little thing might change. I keep thinking about this guy:

And others like him.

Anyway, I'll do my part and if I'm the only one that does well, then I can at least say I did my part.
