I stood up. Spending most of my life bucking the system and trying not to conform to anything, you could call me a skeptic. I have never trusted anyone or group telling me they were there to help. So indulge me for what I am about to say. There is power in numbers.
People listen to numbers.
I believe the current statistics are for every voter there is ten other people influenced by that vote. That initial 1400 Paramedics translates into 14,000 votes. Now, where would you like to sit because people in power want to listen. Things are beginning to happen. Picture the media asking us what we know instead of what a hospital or BLS thinks.
