Political Participation

This is an interesting formulation:

If you're not infuriated by these related trends, you should at least be worried. If you're neither, stop reading this column. You're a sheep, content to be herded wherever these giants wish.

I have a better one, though:

As a reader I find such heavy-handed rhetoric annoying, and I'm inclined to tune out the writer.

That said, it is a good idea to let elected officials know how you feel about such matters. I would keep it polite but firm, and would avoid Dan Gillmoor's language. Den Beste has a suggestion in that regard.
