Now that the Supreme Court has struck down Tennessee state law regarding marriage, it is clear that "consent of the governed" is of no consequence to the "powers that be" in Washington, D.C..
I urge to you seriously consider resisting this revolutionary decision. Continue to follow the laws of Tennessee that existed yesterday.
They are assuming that the people will meekly submit to this outrageous assault on not only American liberty, but on thousands of years of human history.
Let's prove them wrong from the Frontier of Freedom.
REFUSE AND RESIST.

I sent this around eleven o'clock. By noon, local media was reporting the the County Clerk was issuing licenses for faux marriages..
But, I refuse to quit. It's the peaceful options here in the last ditch.
The phrase, "the consent of the governed", has been ringing in my ears for days now. My thoughts keep coming back to the fact that The Powers That Be, do NOT have the people's consent to do much of anything they're doing today.
It logically follows, then, that our government has become illegitimate, and that we citizens are duty bound to do whatever it takes to correct or abolish it.
None of us wants to see blood spilled to achieve those ends. In my view, even at this late date, we still can effect the changes we want through massive protests and widespread civil disobedience. Gandhi and MLK used those very same tactics to move entire nations, and so can we.
If we do not do this, then we'll be left with but one option to restore the balance and domestic tranquility we so desire. I truly hope and pray that it does not come to that.
