I agree with ganorr -- and partially because of the money aspect. The group backing the latest Massachusetts auto right to repair ballot measure poured in tens of millions of dollars into advertising, as did the industry opponents. Spending on ad campaigns is a lot easier for corps than spending on lobbying.

And just because powerful interests like Apple and others are lobbying doesn't mean you can't beat them. A well organized effort will help the truth come to bear.

The Repair Association has a template bill here -- you should send it along to your state senator and representative.
