I believe the point has been made fairly clear, but if not, I can help.
It is not MY, or any other party working for OC opinion of bess's actions that are important at all, it is the response of the politician that is important.
The politicians are the "decider" sir, not me, if I was the "decider" 680 would have been passed years ago and we would not be having this discussion.
When laying the groundwork for this years campaign somewhere around June of last year when meeting with the one of "deciders" they highly recommended that we have no incidents similar in nature to the one that happened with Brett Darrow.
I believe your response indicates power exist where none does. Giving feed back and asking someone to refrain from activities that are specifically unpopular in an area because of feedback is not power, it is simply doing what was recommended by the "deciders" and when that request is ignored and the feedback from the "deciders" it becomes what it is.
being asked specifically not to stir up the authorities in Washington until after the end of session, in contrast to what is being implied are different. Being asked not to do so because it will trigger an event is also not this power monger decider thing that is being implied, it is nothing more than good politics, don't bring intentional negative press.
As a free man he ignored those request, we got the negative press, the miseryian got their shot and they took it. The ban in Washington is/was never the point, the impact it had at the state capitol is the only one that counts and its impact was poor.
