Re: Great
It's actually, IMO, unfortunate it's come to this. IDEALLY, if your state legislature is bought-off as you suggest and the citizens don't like it, vote in representatives who will overturn the ban.
Unfortunately these days, there are so many issues voters feel more important, such a thing is likely not a major factor, so such incumbent payoffs go without penalty...so maybe this type of federal legislation is sadly needed.

Around 50% are registered voters. And, usually half of them turn out to vote. Most people don't care. If they can buy the latest video game, large screen teevee, next year's SUV, etc., they're happy. Issues tend to be resolved by the extremes.
That's why political polls always crack me up. Why ask someone who doesn't vote what they think?
