The only peaceable protest that could possibly have any effect on the implementation of ObamaCare would be to withhold the tax revenue required to fund it.

Starve the beast.

Stop spending. No more consumer tax.
Do things in one trip. Less gas taxes.
Smoke? Now you have a good reason to quit. No tobacco taxes.
There's no need to work overtime. You don't need to buy all that junk anyway.
Always pay for goods and services in cash. What happens to that money after it leaves your hand is not your concern.

Every American will be affected by this, and they'll blame.......BIG GOVERNMENT.

We can survive without their money, but they can't survive without ours.

There once was a time in this country when this was true, the government needed our tax money to do the things they wanted. Now, I'm not so sure. Look at the unfunded liabilities already on the books (social security, medicare, medicaid). Add to it what Obama and the 'Rats are spending. They are spending money not only that they don't have, but don't have a realistic chance of ever having. It hasn't stopped them from spending.

Why? Because they raise the debt ceiling, fire up the printing presses and issue more debt, more T-bills that they sell to whoever is stupid enough to buy them. The Federal Reserve has already committed to monetizing the debt. Obama and the 'Rats believe that as long as they can print soon-to-be-worthless IOUs, they don't need our tax dollars. The Beast will only starve when people stop buying our debt, which I think is closer than anyone wants to admit.
