Time to lobby

Title : Laborer Day
My fellow citizens, it is time to stop with the complaining and start with the fixing.
Apparently, we don't agree with treating laborers unfairly, right? And we also don't want to get deported (if you are an expat) or arrested and disappeared (if you is local) so? We lobby, peacefully and rationally and we exploit the media to do it!
What do we need? Some locals with (As the say) cajones and some expats with even bigger cajones!! (if you physically do not have4 cajones then please understand it is just an expression).
So who is with me? We can do this. We just chose an issue that is bothering us (like no glasses for laborers) and then find entertaining ways (otherwise media uninterested) to repeatedly embarrass the companies into cleaning up their act!
Our struggle is uphill. Citizens, let us behave like Citizens! We are all in this boat together. We are implicitly teaching our kids the values of these companies and at least we stand together and make sacrifice and take action we are teaching nothing but complacency and negativism!
Viva la lobbying! Viva la (censored)!

I'm serious. I'm not calling for anarchy, but what could be wrong with getting petitions done and arranging meetings with corporate big boys to discuss their practices and also writing to our newspspers outting the baddies?
