At the end of the day, these are our representatives who were elected by the people. When the people speak up, it's difficult for those representatives not to listen.

Elected officials should be listening to their constituents. They are representing the people or should be.

I don't think dramatic protests carry as much weight as individual complaints or other forms of protest when it comes to persuading legislators of change.

No, it's amusing to them all. Considering the majority of the time their minds have already been made up, as to their ill judgement and direction. Just (feel good) common courtesy to us the public

I think it used to make a difference, not anymore. the dems are like the Borg. They think only of their agenda, just look at the divisiveness in our state. All socialists now.

They are all bought and paid for. especially here in Oregon.

No. Unless you're Trump. He's been having "campaign" rallies throughout his term in office. I can't see any influence that has come from them, except to boost his giant, but fragile ego.
