Actually marches supporting programs which are in jeopardy is real live "grass roots" democracy in action.  We're not at the point of "winning elections" right now. We at the point of folks working to defend the ACA and funding for Family Planning.  Those are "social" issues, but they are, in fact, both economic issues as well.  If you or someone you know has had serious medical issues NOT covered by health insurance, you realize that those issues are, in fact, not just "health" issues, but "economic" issues as well.  I'm guessing you know that medical debts are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.  

If there is not a nationwide outpouring of grassroots support for these programs, the GOP controlled Congress, in convert with President Trump, will likely end the ACA and cut the funding for Planned Parenthood.  

There's a very big difference between "whining" and a grassroots support movement.  regards, Gary
