Remember it, and vote accordingly: if you don't like the incumbent's policies, vote for the other guy next time, and tell your friends too! That is the essence of democracy - it isn't about phoning someone, or persuading the current guy to vote the way you'd like, but about voting for someone you actually support. If "99%" of the public are really against the bank bailouts and huge payouts for Pelosi-connected "green" companies, the Congressmen, Senators and President behind it all won't stand a chance next time they face the voters - and ultimately it's the votes that matter, however much money a candidate might have. Yes, a well-funded candidate can run lots of ads - that doesn't get them votes unless the voters are actually convinced by the ads!
