What actions by the government are you against? What is the best way to change these actions? Can you use any of the ideas of Martin Luther King Jr. or Henry David Thoreau?


There are a few things that I'm against that the government does, that is the whole same sex marriage. I think that if you love somebody it shouldn't matter, they should all have the same rights for marriage. The best way to change this action is to just let it allowed in some states.
