There are several national and state organizations who have teamed up to fight corrupt legislation. The speaker mentioned that one strategy they have found successful so far is to send people into every meeting right alongside the lobbyists. He said that way the votes drop off considerably when politicians see their constituents in the audience. That is the one thing that I remember best, and I hope they update their site soon.
Florida has it harder because we cannot impeach the governor, and the state capital is very far removed from many parts of the state.
