Should we be a Pro-Rail lobby group?

Mark, <br /> <br />I think that you have just confirmed my statement that "The individual has little or no influence in politics ..." Perhaps I should have said the ordinary person, or in labor terms, the rank and file. I and most of the people I know have day jobs and families to support. We don't have the time or the money to travel to DC to get to know the staff and the office-holder, and nobody is going to pay us to do it, or even cover our expenses. And any contribution any of us could make would be lost in the piles of all the other dollar bills. <br /> <br />"Mark Hemphill from Trains Magazine" will surely command a lot more attention than "Dennis Wicks, a programmer from some place in Illinois." <br /> <br />Just out of idle curiosity, what position did you hold that people were seeking to influence you?
