Do you think we should concentrate our efforts in our States now? We are getting nowhere with phone calls to our Fed Reps.

I absolutely believe the states may be our last, best hope to regain our freedoms. It's my belief the states should have been in the watchtower from the beginning, and in the beginning I believe they were. From what little I know of history, the states jealously guarded their Constitutional turf. But, after decades of federal abuses, the states have been all but neutered. I'm sure several books have been written to explain how we arrived at where we are, but the hard truth is, if we are to regain anything resembling what our Founders envisioned, SOMEONE has got to draw the line. The states are in a better position to make it happen than we are. Will they?

I think the events of the last few months are ample proof we have lost our voice in DC. They heard us loud and clear on the first round of the pigout scheme but after what I saw as good cop/bad cop, rope-a-dope machinations between the house and senate we are going to leave a debt our grandchildren can never retire. They will be working for the new government/corporate partnership.

I think we ought to talk with others on FR about this, maybe we can all make calls and visits to our State reps, and get some guidance.

Can you ping me with any new info you get?

Thanks!
