Here is Tom Toles’ wonderful cartoon on mailman Doug Hughes’ attempt to deliver via gyrocopter to members of congress 535 letters of protest about the corrupting influence of big money on politics to members of congress. 

According to Brad Knickerbocker of the Christian Science Monitor (See here.), the main point of Hughes letter was this:

"I'm demanding reform and declaring a voter's rebellion in a manner consistent with Jefferson's description of rights in the Declaration of Independence . . . . As a member of Congress, you have three options. 1. You may pretend corruption does not exist. 2. You may pretend to oppose corruption while you sabotage reform. 3. You may actively participate in real reform."

Here is Lindsay Graham saying, They should have shot him down. “I don’t know why he wasn’t.”

It’s a matter of national security, which can never be threatened by powerful people that want what they want and damn-all what anyone else thinks about it – or how it looks. It’s threatened by a brave, little man in a gyrocopter.
