<em />First of all, they can indeed protest. In the USA, we have the right to do so, and if enough people can protest, the government can notice and make decisions based on the opinion of the people. Secondly, back in history, people used civil disobedience, but if we're talking about the modern world this doesn't apply <em>that much.</em> We can also utilize the media.
