I AGREE WITH YOU, IT WILL.
I'm not for just rolling over and playing dead.
But, from the Biblical predictions, I'd say, the police state is coming regardless (and is far more here than most seem to realize). And, probably prayer will retard it's coming more than even activism and writing letters--though both are worthy tasks.
I'd like to see a citizen's group of trustworthy folks like a grand jury but say with a 5 year term and well paid, protected etc. to monitor all such activities that put our civil liberties at risk at all. Several such oversight bodies, if needed.
But, it won't happen. The horror of the world government will come first. And then Jesus will destroy that. Then all such matters will be moot as He truly brings HIS PEACE.
