Congress doesn't seem to care one whit about phone calls, letters and emails.

I couldn't disagree more. The vote was close precisely because of phone calls, emails and faxes. It would have been far worse had not people flooded Congress with various form of communication. Their only shortcoming is it that Congress critters weren't overwhelmed for a long enough period of time. It came primarily only 24 hours before the day of the vote. People should have been flooding Congress with these forms of communication for several days straight. The tea parties and other form of protests are also effective. All methods to express our outrage need to be conducted simultaneously for a long period of time to be effective. Summarily dismissing anyone form of expression only weakens the cause.

Tea parties are going to continue to be ignored, no matter how loud and large they become.

So we shouldn't make phone calls, send faxes or emails or conduct tea parties. That practically eliminates any method to convey our outrage. It's tantamount to silence. That's exactly what socialists desire. Every time an idea is posted on FR there is always people who shoot it down by falsely claiming it won't work because it will be ignored.

And we will be ignored until we surround Washington with tens of millions.
I agree with a massive march as it is one of many methods that can be used. You are describing a tea party. That can be accomplished with the tea party scheduled for September 9-12.

Every time an idea is posted to move against socialism on FR there are always people who shoot it down by falsely claiming it won't work because it will be ignored. Doing so is self defeating. No one method by itself will work but the totally of implementing all methods together for a protracted period of time will be effective.

I'm not advocating surrender, merely pointing out that for the amount of destruction that has been done to our freedoms in the last six months, and for the tremendous unlawful usurpation of power by this administration, the protests have been meager. Sometimes it's necessary to goad people into actually doing something.
More morons flooded into Washington to party for the “historic” inauguration of the usurper than have participated in protests. I refuse to believe that the majority of this country support socialism, and even if they do, I refuse to relinquish my Constitutional rights to mob rule. Wake up America.
