I think if nothing else a public protest can draw attention to a "problem" and maybe get the attention of lawmakers?

Of course with 90% winning reelection no matter what it may not matter at all.

But other than marching or picketing there isn't much an individual can do.

We often take part in letter writing campaigns for the food bank and other local causes, but actually showing up and letting people see your face and that there are a lot of you who care about an issue probably has more immediate impact.

That's what I meant by doing "SOME good". I know protesting can get a message out that may or may not be overlooked. But aside from that ...?
