Isn't that why we belong to the organizations that we do?

VFW, American Legion, etc. for veterans issues.
NRA, etc. for gun ownership.
AARP, etc. for issues regarding aging.
If we don't belong to the organizations that speak for what is importance, we lose the strength in numbers game.

Political clout comes from numbers.

If you don't think you have enough impact, become an active member of an organization. Help the organization with the numbers behind it go after the changes that are important to you.

Organizations hire lobbyists. Some organizations hire members for a year to do it. I am a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. That's what they do.
