You are going to have to be a little more specific, than 'dark'. Tough to pray for the resolution of something with no description. Speak plainly, are you against Social Security reform?
Prayers that those making the decisions that affect you may be enlightened to the truth. Amen.

I am sure someone will explain any set procedure otherwise.
As far as I know, you have done it just right.
If you've ever dealt with a local organization that is supposed to be organized and regulated by a federal agency, federal legislation, but which "interprets" and "edits" the legislation to suit whatever or whomever, and by that process interferes negatively on the lives of others by interfering with citizens' interaction with that federal legislation...inexplicably, without provocation, just because they can.
Until I noticed that you are from California, I thought you were talking about a situation locally. In your generalized terms, it is identical. Based on that similarity, it may not be a reaction to you, as a human being. It may well be that the proposal, or application, you presented is seen by them as something which endangers their game.
What I mean, is that they have built themselves a little fiefdom which uses the power of the law to control other people, but they cannot be held accountable to follow that same law. If your proposal is clearly allowed by law, but does not fit their desires, they may be afraid that their corruption will be brought to light.

May God strengthen truth and light and may any evil intentions be exposed.

Have no fear, you will be offered up at Mass, I will say rosaries for you. It is important that you go to confession, you have to attend daily Mass for strength (this will heal and give you better discernment in what the Lord is asking you to do), talk to your spiritual director (if you don't have one, a holy priest) and continually ask for the Lord's mercy and justice. The most important thing to pray for is strength that you may accept his will.
God Bless, Mary Keep
Freep mail me if you want to talk.
P.S. This is an exterior attack, don't despair. The good news is: Those who practice evil are so overconfident that they make mistakes in their pride. The body language and them being uncomfortable means you are doing something right. Don't think otherwise. Remember, you are a Catholic and have the best of both worlds...you can offer it up for them (the best holy revenge), say your morning offering, offer all your work, prayers, joys and sufferings of the day to Our Lord in union with his suffering. Don't look at things in a worldly sense...you have to flip it...you are in the world, not of it; That's why you can see it and others seem not to. Evil is trembling in its hooves...and it should. We know how the story ends. Have courage.

I admit to being very confused after reading your request, but my prayers are with you, praying that you will prevail in this situation.
Prayers up for your special intention. I"m not completely sure, but it sounds like you are fighting corruption - an evil - of sorts in your local government. I will pray that you will prevail in your efforts to right this wrong.
St. Michael the Archangel, protect us in battle...

BIRDS, My prayers go up for you. We don't need to know the specifics in order to pray for you. We just need to know that there is a need and to ask God to meet that need. God knows your hearts desire! Praying that your needs are met.
Salvation - thank you for the ping.
Blessings,

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Try to avoid the prayer, "God, please help this person to stop being such an a**hole, so (s)he will stop screwing with me." As much as possible (and I know that it is difficult as all heck), offer a sincere, disinterested prayer to God for that person's well being.
I sometimes find that the only way I can pray for someone in a situation like that without being half-spiteful and filled with self-will is to separate my prayer from the situation entirely. Just pray that they will have a good life; pray that they will be happy; most of all, pray that they will find grace and peace with Jesus Christ. Go to Holy Mass (daily, if possible) and entrust all of your intentions to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts solely for their benefit. Say your favorite novena for them.
Most importantly of all, take all of the merits and satisfactions that accrue due to the patient suffering of this evil, place them into the hands of Our Lady, and ask her to use them as she will for the salvation of those who have done this.
With what I can decipher here, it appears you are feeling oppressed by darkness manifest in the words or deeds of others. With that understanding, I lift you up to God for His peace and blessing and protection and comfort and I also lift up everyone overtaken by darkness, that they may see His Light and hear His voice and come to Him.
My prayer is that you receive wisdom and discernment concerning this event.
Prayers sent.
