It looks like I'm late to the party. You people get started early.
I hope we can all agree on common ground:
1) that the commercial interest in this state has deep roots intertwined at all level of state gov.and has been met with little to some resistance over the years.
2)The playing field has been recently levelled to include:
A) lobbist representation at state level
B) lobbist representation at federal level
C) grass roots upswell that can influence state legislator vote

I think the key to grass root action to possibly influence state legislators is:
1) unified message before vote time in the legislative process
A) should I go against what my constituents are asking on this proposed bill if so;
2) the fear of the unknown
A) How big of upswell
B) Negative press
C) re election issues
D) And a host of other negative impacts need to be weighed out

It is a long road and I think we are on the right path at this time and it will take time to bear this out. It is a late start but at least it is a start and I support it.
