Possibly stupid question about protest locations [View all]
I realize that the protests this weekend sprang up around major international airports, which I get. And then the Women's March was the Women's March...and I get that. However, so far, all of these have been in major metropolitan centers, which we generally already have, vote-wise. I know that it creates attention, which is great, but let's be honest, dump isn't going to step down because of them. Some members of congress may notice but I don't know how many will remember or let it influence their decisions.
My contention is that the best we may be able to do for now is pressure our representatives and senators. Go to their offices, whether they safe or not. Here in PA we have Senators Casey and Toomey. And while Toomey is most likely a waste of time, he may be scared enough about his job that he thinks about what he does. Casey should be pretty safe. Our Congressman is Mike Fitzpatrick, who generally runs as a moderate, and should be sensitive to both sides.
Thoughts?
