That's what bothers me so much about NN. People voted for what they wanted, and they won more than once. That wasn't the outcome that was wanted so they just put it to a vote until they got the outcome they wanted. That is really scary to me, and makes me feel like we have nothing we can do. I know that sounds bleak, but if they can just keep putting it back to a vote when they don't get their way, what can we do? If there is nothing stopping them from just putting it to another vote, what can we do?

Is Washington still in the clear?
