I'm kinda tired of Democrats always playing defense. And trying to think up something us regular folks could do to turn the tide.

True, there would need to be some organizing to educate about who should and shouldn't respond. But I'm thinking the blanket message "respond to the census" might persuade some in red districts that would be better off with lower counts.
