I pay taxes. I live here. There is no reason not to use the influence that I pay for to change the environment to what I'd like. Mine is only a little influence, as is yours, but if I can gather a group of likeminded people together and form a large influence, then that's my right.
This is how it works here. What USA do you live in? I'm not responsible for your lack of ability to get large numbers of people behind your politics of vehicular cycling.
