Overmod, you are kidding, right? <br /> <br />Politicians pay no attention to the individual, unless you happen to be a politician yourself, or a well placed journalist, or maybe a union official, then you may be able to get some sort of individual attention. <br /> <br />Over the many years that I have been able to vote I have contacted my elected representatives a number of times and have gotten only form letters in return. Most people wouldn't know that, but I have received two or three letters from the same person at various times and the only thing different was the date and the subject of my letter! "Thank you for contacting me about xxxxxx." Or some similar verbage. <br /> <br />If you want to make a difference you need to organize. That is why there are farmer's co-ops and labor unions. Also AARP, ACLU, AAA, (which was discussed in another thread) NAACP, AMA, are you beginning to get the picture? The individual has little or no influence in politics or the market. You need a large group of like minded people to make your voice heard.
