When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. IT is time for this to be re-instated....

We've tried the letters, phone calls, town halls (and cute coffee clatch mass demonstrations--which they did not listen to--that were almost 1/2 lobbying but 1/2 partying.)
They cannot INITIATE Socialism it if they cannot FUND it. For that to succeed, they need the total cooperation and submission of the productive part of society, the bedrock of taxpayers. John Galt has to be part and parcel of this government largesse for it to even come into fruition. I would say, that is where we have them by the privates.
Conscientious objector status for some taxpayers on religious grounds, due to abortion funding mechanisms, could also be an additional civil rights route to take. The system can be tipped to fall over.
Please post on every thread.
