We should get involved in the coercive political system only to the extend that doing so has a good prospect of enhancing or protecting freedom. As an example, supporting a specific initiative is better than voting for a politician. The only point of disagreement I have with Al Lopp, is where he suggests we express our appreciation for Senator Watson's involvement. I don't welcome it at all. I might welcome attention from a politician who I knew would strongly support our rights. Otherwise, by all means write to her with suggestions as to how to handle legislation, but thanking your rulers is a bit much.
