A lack of faith does not justify giving up and writing one single letter to one congressman is not a serious effort. It takes many letters to officials and the media, speaking up at town meetings, complaints to state ethics boards, in other words being a general pain in the butt (and this is the important part) being one that won't go away.

Those are the tactics that can and do bring results.
