I think its going to be quite a while before we see the impact of Mayday
and be able to judge it's "success".

But single issue is definitely a problem if not really, really well defined.

For example, can Mayday's approach readjust the time folks spend on getting
funding?  You'd think they'd want the congress/senate to have more time to
actually do something.

If not, maybe they should have a different goal: unblocking the roadblock.
