The conundrum

The conundrum of influencing our legislators is really bothering me and I imagine many others.  We have legally registered lobbyists who are spokespersons for various points of view.  That's better than not having them registered but they can certainly influence legislation that is contrary to the common good.  For example, Medicare cannot, by law, get discounted prices from drug companies.  This is one of the reasons some prescription drugs are cheaper in Canada than in the U.S.  Apparently 'we the people' have less influence then lobbyists.  Grrrr!
