"This is not the end of the republic. This is not the end of the republic. Anyone calling for violent uprising is not a patriot"

On what grounds do you justify your claim? Your stance is basically the same as a Loyalist during the American Revolution who essentially said the same thing as you. Our Founding Fathers were considered outlaws and pariahs and would have been hanged for treason had their cause not succeeded. The Declaration of Independence does indeed say that governments should not be changed for light and transient causes, but it also says that it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish it, if it becomes destructive of its purpose. If the people feel that their government is destructive of its purpose, they most certainly do have a right to alter or abolish it. Pray that it never has to happen, but it is one of the sovereign rights retained by the people.

On the grounds that the bill is NOT resolved, and many are reacting to "media speculation" and spin.

Why, thank you! I am an unashamed American Loyalist. To seek a change in US law, for the simple means of placing other people at a disadvantage is disingenuous.

That was when the Crown was in power. We are all Americans today. I am a proud Southerner, yet the Articles of Confederation did not work out. No need to divide the nation, again.

If indeed change is necessary, that is exactly what the congress is working on. Please do not buy into the concept that violence, intimidation, and oppression trump the legislative process. I spew rhetoric occasionally with the best of them. At this juncture reason and deliberation are appropriate. All IMHO.
