Lessee, they've got a strong influence with the federal executive and legislative branches, several state governments, and the electorates of at least a third of the states. Maybe Chuck0 thinks the government isn't that important. But they've also got a formidable grassroots operation, which can mobilize protests, boycotts, and voters. Other than that, they're insignificant.
