"So, where do we all start?"

You're a well-spoken guy. You start with your neighbors. You start an organization. You write. You speak. You get elected to something.

You start the same way everything in this country starts.

I started writing to legislators years ago regarding eminent domain issues. Locally. Regionally. Statewide. Nobody else seemed interested.

I'll give you the best example I know of grassroots activism. That was California's Proposition 13. Who'd have thought a rollback of assessed valuations on property could ever succeed? Who'd have thought that limits to increases in property taxes could ever succeed? Yet it did.

I know one thing. It isn't going to happen in threads on Free Republic. It's going to take a lot of work, organization, and sheer plodding to do something like this.

Those who are babbling about revolution aren't the ones who get changes made. That much I know for certain.

You're a well-spoken guy. You start with your neighbors.

Actually, I'm a woman. And my neighbors don't care. I'm also un-electable. But your point is well-taken. It must be a grass-roots effort.

You know nothing in this regard, sir.
