Wow. I'm totally underwhelmed with the response to what I thought might be a thought provoking premise; that is, that conservatives might have some luck making noise in their respective states with grievances re the feral government. There are some hard core red states out there, Texas being one of 'em, that given a nudge by a group of angry serfs might yield some fruit. Not that the states would necessarily tell the federales, "Up yours, we're outta here" type scenario, but maybe a little blowback in instances of more egregious sins of the feds. If I were as good at writing as Øbama is at rhetorical flourish, I would set something to paper right here; right now, but alas...
Apparently I'm in a very small minority. I suppose it's just indicative of why we're in the mess we're in...
"Wow.

It's all we curently have between us and the federal monster chewing up our nation against our will. Our federal representation at the House and Senate levels have been non-existant for the past forty years. Sadly, too many have just now realized this. Our founders gave us the tenth amendment with good reason. We must work to overturn the seventeenth amendment either by actual amendment or by instituting state election/selection procedures which qualify under it's current "popular vote" requirements.
Recall drives which might work to alter the balance of power in D.C. also are an option.
