I have some experience "fighting city hall" on another topic, years ago. Here is what I observed:
1: Most politicians care most about their re-election. Therefore, the most voices will sway them
2: They need a good excuse to justify changing an already-stated opinion. You have to give them one. When you email or write or call, you should give good reasons that are easy to understand and repeat to others.
3: Your good reason(s) should be solid logic that can't easily be shot down
4: Never embarrass your team. Never threaten violence or say things that most would find offensive. Never be one of "those" people they use as justfication for confiscating your means of defense.
5: You and everyone you know should flood their phones, emails and snail-mail with communications.
6: Direct communications are far better than the mass mailing websites. They see that YOU cared enough to send an individual correspondence. Phone calls too. They estimate that is worth another 100 voters.
7: When they see which way the crowd is going, they will use some of those "good reasons" to justify voting with the crowd.
8: Therefore, MAKE A CROWD. Flood them with emails, phone calls and letters. Let them understand they awakened a sleeping giant.
In summary: They must see a hurricane of polite but firm emails, phone calls and letter. The hurricane must contain lots of justification for voting YOUR WAY.
