“The Battles of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, kicked off the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). Tensions had been building for many years between residents of the 13 American colonies and the British authorities, particularly in Massachusetts. On the night of April 18, 1775, hundreds of British troops marched from Boston to nearby Concord in order to seize an arms cache. Paul Revere and other riders sounded the alarm, and colonial militiamen began mobilizing to intercept the Redcoat column. A confrontation on the Lexington town green started off the fighting, and soon the British were hastily retreating under intense fire. Many more battles followed, and in 1783 the colonists formally won their independence.”

I say it’s time for we the people to march on Washington before they march on us!!

It does seem to me that the situation is getting serious. I was born in 1947 and have never seen times like these, not even during the Viet Nam era.

What about a simultaneous march at the office of every member of Congress ? Every Representative, every Senator.

Like a big picnic, a big festival. Signs, music, pickup trucks, veterans, grandmas, kids, hunting clubs, college students, you name it. Dress up in colonial garb.

Those Congressmen that support it would be happy ! Use it for a media event for themselves !

Those that did not... hmmm.... big negative media event.
