That's exactly the point here to let" legal residents" know that whether they like it or not they will be affected by us not being recognize " legally" for the government. Local governments are going to lose money, let me tell you my friend we are losing more than that, and it is time to take a risk, take a chance, because after all we have nothing to lose.
Legal residents will be affected, well maybe is time that they know they will be and do something about for better or worst.
So far our so called liders are only worry about losing funds for their organizations, organizations that are there to support us in the first place no matter what ,counting us for their own benefit is not supporting us, its self interest.
