Many people are unhappy with the effectiveness of the political process, but just accept government by corrupt elected officials and inflexible, antiquated bureaucracy. Others are trying to change the way we do things. Like marches for civil rights, they facilitate speech on the internet when strong arm tactics are trying to quite the voices of dissent.
