Do you think the People protesting in Wisconsin all lived in Wisconsin? The People in Ohio campaigning for Obama all live in Ohio? If you are not happy with what New York, California, or Hawaii are doing on a Federal level, then you need to be involved in their politics too. You don't need to physically go their, just use the internet to "rally the troops" that are in those States, or can get to those States. "The squeeky wheel gets the grease". It's either this, or wait til the USA disbands like the USSR did and each State becomes it's own Country.
