we are going to live and die in the legislators and the courts.

LOBBY yourselves and hire lobbyists.

Make friends with legislators and senators. This is where we are getting hammered. Educate them and convince them to vote yes or no according to what we want them to vote. Let them know you want them present when the vote takes place

Lobby some more

Challenge unjust laws in the courts to establish a precedent.

Every single one of us should be on first name basis with our senators and representatives. Same goes for your city councilmen and women. All levels from city, state and national.

That what everyone needs to do, and if only a few of us are doing it we won't prevail.

BTW you don't need any affiliation to do it. If you are part of a group fine, if not the plan is the same. Just do it.
