    Why not crowd fund your own lobbyist and think tank. Do what the rich do.

    Think tanks create a strategy. They suggest/create bills in your interest. They tell you what politicians to target. Think tanks are filled with statistician and lawyers who build portfolios for how to accomplish what you want. Its polls and research and statistics that show why your goal is good.

    Hand the package to lobbyist who target those politician and start pushing change the way it is supposed to occur. Keep your issue in front of the politician. Show them through your research that if they pass and fight for (x) that they will stay in power or gain popularity and it will benefit the country.

    Or call them Nazis and throw food at works of art. Not sure the best route.

    Its crazy to me people think they can more easily convince people to burn their work days up protesting in streets than just donating $50 to the fight
