I understand what you are saying and certainly preserving the liberty we have inherited from our forefathers is worth whatever sacrifice it takes to do that. It's just hard to throw away what you have built up over a lifetime and hope to pass on to your progeny. Yes, I know the Patriots pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors for a cause greater than themselves, and there may come a time when we will be called upon to do no less, but, right now, it would be very difficult for me to manage the time off work that the liberal leeches manage to find on a routine basis, simply because they live off of others and not the fruit of their own labors.
Planning ahead may make it happen. I was able to make a few FReeps after the 2000 election by scheduling a few vacation days to coincide with those events.
