What was he doing standing in the street in front of those officers, “trying to get his voice heard”?
That’s not effective. As americans we can have our voices heard anytime.
Why didn’t he do what we all know is the way to get your voice heard in Washington?
It’s very simple.
He just needed to take $100 million out of his numerous bank accounts and buy a lobbyist.
Because everyone knows that “Washington” doesn’t care what any of us think.
They only listen to their donors and lobbyists.
So don’t be cheap. Spend a little money, and you too can influence the direction of “your country”.
