Well, have YOU contacted your congressional delegation telling them that you're thinking of voting straight anti-incumbent, strictly because of his/her lack of action on this issue? To be perfectly honest, I haven't. But even if you and I do, that's 2 people. Middle America is busy going about their 50 hour workweeks, taking the kids to soccer and it would appear all they have the time to do is whine about it. I'd say collecting inputs with groups like the Minutemen certainly helps... when the Minutemen call up Arlen Specter and say that 30% of his base is in their membership rolls, he might actually start realizing there are consequences for going the wrong way.

As it stands, everybody just pisses in the wind, whining that nobody's doing anything. When you compare that to the organized movement afoot in the illegal immigrant community with groups like La Rasa, you start to understand why pols don't seem to hear the majority.
