You are clueless.

I don't have a lot of money and I am involved in the legislative process on an ongoing basis with an advocacy group made up of others just like me who have no money.

Over the years we have had successes on the local and state, and occasionally federal level.

It's a whole lot better than sitting around complaining and acting like there is nothing you can do about it.

You're naive as Hell.

You have had absolutely no influence on any legislation that really matters.

All significant legislation is written by lobbyists.

What did they let you do?

Choose the design of the new Kiosk at your neighborhood park?

Pick what kind of wildflowers to plant on the right of way?

ROFL.
