I'm as pissed off as everyone else about this, but I'm seeing alot of "revulotion" talk wich is BS. we dont need a revolution, we need a Restoration - and they only way we're going to do that it by adopting a hardline grassroots States Rights movement.
The way to fight this is too get control of your local and state governments. elect people who will say NO.
this especially includes county sheriffs (who can do ALOT to curtail illegal federal intrusion if they are of the right mindset and know they have the backing of their consitutuents).
Any solution proposed to end this type of crap via federal elections (from state reps to presidential) is doomed to failure rom the getgo. they flap their lips about what a sewer washington dc is but once they get there they treat it like a hot tub.
Act localy. get the right people into the STATE and local governments, who will say NO.
make a pre roosevelt view of the consitution as a LIMIT on federal power and a commitment to enforcement of the 10th ammendment the litmus test for any candidate for office. since these elections are more localized it's easier to check backgrounds on candidates and know wether they're sincerely commited or BS artists.
Oh and avoid farking lawyers, or anyone with an "ivy league" degree like the plague. jackholes like that have been running things for far too long which is why we're in the state we're in.
Use the same litmus test on senators - Senators used to be selected by legislatures as advocates for the individual States against the federal government. we'd be alot better off if that was still the case.
hardline, grassroots states rights paltform. no compromises.
