I don't understand what you mean. As far as I can determine, the people in your country who are trying to change the gun laws, taxation policies, healthcare and everything else you mentioned, are as American as you are. Usually of the Democratic persuasion. What do you mean, outsiders? Since when do Americans even listen to outsiders?
