They want to get it on the agenda, and the Republicans are ignoring them. It would be more appropriate for them to just protest outside the building to draw attention to their cause, so maybe the next state elections can be about that issue. Hopefully that's what they do. I don't see how it would be in their interest to repeat the behavior with the bullhorns.

They think the world works the way they have been conditioned to believe. It doesn't and they can't handle it when someone tells them to shut up and go away or worse doesn't even acknowledge them. You can't just go in and demand something happens. They have setup all these rules and committees to protect the establishment. It worse the same in state and local government just on a smaller scale.

Everyone should be able to present bills and they should all be required to have a floor vote if a member 2nds it.


I would also require presentations, interviews, q&a, etc for anyone signing onto a bill to make sure they even read the thing instead of having the lobbyist write it and them hand it to them. Maybe it would cut down on the pages if the representative had to actually explain page by page the bill from memory.
