Got non-reponsive representatives? Take a lesson from Louisiana voters.The Louisiana State Legislature passed a bill giving themselves a better than 100 percent pay raise. Gov. Bobby Jindal, despite campaign promises, refused to veto this controversial bill because he wanted the legislators cooperation in approving his own programs,
Louisiana citizens were outraged and objected strenuously, with recall petitions, email and phone contacts, and demonstrations.

The 'sleeping giant' has been awoken. Voters flexed their muscle and discovered their strength. 'We can make these guys do what we want!
Politics may never be the same.

UPDATE: Another bill Jindal signed is causing an uproar, see my post on NowPublic .
