What have you done about politicians you hate?

There seems to be a lot of opinions around about particular politicians and their suitability for their positions. I'm just wondering what, if anything, have any of you done about politicians that you have taken particular exception to?
Personally, I really can't stand one of the Liberal councillors on my local Council so I ran for election in my ward once and gave all my preferences to Labour. It may not have made a huge difference because the guy was number 1 on the Liberal ticket so he was guaranteed to get one of the 5 Council seats in my ward but Liberal didn't get enough preferences for number 2 & 3 to get in whereas Labour got all 3 on their ticket elected and consequently got a majority in Council and was able to block everything that particular councillor tried to pass for 4 years I'd like to think I made some small contribution to that situation arising 
Who else has gone out of their way to be a pain in the a** to a politician they hate?

Tony Abbott lives near me and hes always going for morning runs.. I get Carmageddon inspired thoughts everytime I see him.  I'm amazed he can run with the wind resistance against those ears.

Hi,
I vote them out. Nothing hurts a pollie more than being voted out of power. Naturally, this doesn't work very often 'cos there's a million other voters who think differently.
But my voting method is to always vote for whoever is not in office. Once a pollie (or party) has had one term it's time to piss 'em off - otherwise they get all arrogant and think the country loves them and their policies become shit. Aka Howard and Carr.

I have unsuccessfully egged both Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. I also voted out Paul Keating.
I am desperately trying to vote out John Howard.

My old man knows Ross Cameron so I got a inkjet tshirt transfer and made him a shirt that said "Ross Cameron: Rooting for your electorate"
Didn't go down well but did I care?
Curious, what happens if you tell the furry heads they are wrong?
