The Big bad corp execs will laugh at them in the cold rain and snow.
What good would it do to go after the government reps? In my experience, they hardly even ever read any letters I send them. Now and then I'll get a form letter for reply.

My congressman isn't going to listen to me. I can't afford to put a few crisp new thousand dollar bills in the envelope along with my letter.

They're the ones who can enact change.

Of course they won't be ignored. The Senator or Congressman will simply lift up his phone, and before you can even shout "freedom," SWAT will be there in force with tear gas and tasers as well as their guns. The next day you'll read in the paper how terrorists tried to take over Senator Slimebelly's office, but thank God they were captured and are now being questioned at Gitmo which has been reopened for just such an eventuality.
