"I know what you said, but I still disagree... apparently, you can't distinguish between legal and illegal..."

And if a law is wrong you're supposed to work within the system to get the law changed.

I've been working for that change for a long time now.

I was put in jail for it, in fact.

Do you have any idea how citizens can directly petition our federal government for redress of grievances?

Lots of people can mouth these words. No one that I've asked yet can tell me how it's done.

I've worked to petition the state government. Federal seems to have isolated itself from this Constitutional right of the people.

Let me expand on that point a little.

In every state the voters can sign petitions that have lawful binding requirements on the state government. Usually this results in an election on the topic petitioned for.

Any form of petitioning of any of the three branches of the federal government seems to be nonbinding.

thoughts?
