Consumers getting riled up about something and doing something about it in the US? Not likely. Unless it is something visceral like Gas prices or taxes Americans as consumers don't act as a group to pressusre politicains. As people in the Farmer's lobbying groups or Steelworkers or the Entertainment industry yes, not as consumers. It is somewhat about money for campaigns, but it also about who the politiican wants to listen to and who he or she wants listening (read ego)
