ALL: Should we complain to the SEC?

I follow a lot of SI threads and lately I have been hearing the same thing on almost all of them regarding the analysts. It seems to me that we should be complaining to the SEC. They should set the rules for a level playing field. There was a time, just a couple of years ago, when a good point could be made that the analysts would then spread the news to everyone because there was no efficient way to do it. But the advent of the internet and recorded conference calls has changed all of that. Technology is here and the SEC needs to change the rules to take it into account.

Now the question is, how do we get this accomplished? Can we somehow gather our resources and create a significant voice to talk to the SEC? Should we be contacting our congressmen? Nothing seems to make bureaucrats move faster than the thought that congress might pre-empt them with legislation.

What do you all think? Has the time come for us to starting lobbying for our rights? Or am I a hopeless idealist? <eom>
