If you have an interest in participating in the legislative process, you can go to Santa Fe, attend any one of a number of committee meetings, and then speak your piece to legislators.
For some people, that isn't as simple as it sounds. For us folks in Albuquerque, it means a couple of hours on the road, more hours sitting through endless personal anecdotal evidence for and against, and then, occasionally, running out of time and finding the bill rolled over to another meeting.
Fortunately, meeting agendas are posted on the internet. The posting doesn't guarantee that bill will be heard, only that no bill that isn't on the agenda, will be heard.

Unless the agenda on the door is hand written, or perhaps typed out on a typewriter, it was created on a computer. And, at the same instant it was being printed, could have been posted on the internet. (More or less; I get that it probably has to go through some channel).
Our servants are getting unruly.
Someone should do something.
