My friend,

These people (if you can call them that) don't care about our letters. Or our phone calls. Or our little rallies. They know, and are absolutely sure of the inevitable truth. No large group of people is willing to put thier lives and livelihoods on the line and oppose thier actions with force.

So until that happens, they will not take us seriously, they will continue to pass laws and make thier grip ever tighter, until we are all felons, either subjugated or dead.

I wish it was not true. I wish I could meet with these people and change thier minds. But we know it is. And we all (us, them, and everyone else watching) know that the dog is all bark and no bite.
