Conservative Civil Disobedience

If enough people break a small and oppressive regulation, something will have to be done at the government level. Think Tea Tax and Boston Harbor. Right now the inmates are running the asylum that is America (and Canada, as referenced by Steyn). It’s time for us to revolt. If our phonecalls and pleas to representatives are falling on deaf ears, then we have to do something to make them take notice. No, not bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City. But how about the equivelent of what Mr. Steyn and Ms. Shaidle do every day? They ridicule the rules, post over-the-top and “offensive” articles, and make people laugh at the absurdity of silencing thought and opinion.

I always misreport on any government form that asks those kinds of questions. I’ve had some quizzical looks from the individual I hand the form back to.

I have seen many bills with "wheresgeorge.com" stamped on them. Looking at the criminal code it looks as if they would have to prove intent to prosecute.

How are they going to prosecute if 10 Million people do this though? Taking a page right out of the Cloward-Pivin hand book, which has been used so successfully against us, if VAST numbers overwhelm the system, the system can not deal with it.

I am going to stamp my currency with the “Obama’s Tax Cheat” note. Be curious how fast the protest spreads.

“If you’re born here, you are a native American.”

Good point; I’ll do it. (I actually am as much American Indian as Hussein is black — 1/16th.) Mess with the census figures.”

Exactly. Me too!

NATIVE:

1. Existing in or belonging to one by nature; innate: native ability.
2. Being such by birth or origin: a native Scot.
3. Being one’s own because of the place or circumstances of one’s birth: our native land.
4. Originating, growing, or produced in a certain place or region; indigenous: a plant native to Asia.

This is taxable to the IRS.

One might consider not telling them about minor little favors like this.

There is a census coming...you know to redistribute power, waste a few billions more dollars. I suggest this. In the race/ethnicity section, mark ‘native American’. If you’re born here, you are a native American. Fact. Let ‘em deal with that demographic.

___________________________________

I wondered about the census. They are going to mess with it. How can we make an impact -for our side-. Can we say there are 15 people (white cauc.) living in our home?

Are there laws ? (Not that it matters to them) Where can we find out the laws governing the census?

I’m sure if there are laws, there is something about the gerrymandering THE ONE is planning to do. We need to challange it.

Donate to JUDICIAL WATCH. They’re going to be busy.

Declare 27 hispanics and african americans living in your home. That should skew the census gerrymandering to your favor.

"...render to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s."

Wouldn't this lesson be better taught to the deadbeats that make up the bulk of the democRAT voters (not to mention about 1/2 of Obambi's appointees so far)? We, the productive, have certainly given more than our fair share to the collective Ceasar over the years.

I’ve been getting real creative with some of my messages...so creative I won’t repeat them here.

I’m not sparing anyone. Pelosi and Reid are also getting attention from me.

I know this is petty compared to what the left is doing everyday but I somehow feel better this morning.

Who knows where this will end.

I am a native American and I always check "white" for race and "American" for heritage.

I honestly do not believe it is any of the governments business what race any citizen is. I also think that if these questions were removed from the census it would help to ease racial tensions in the US. As long as it is legal for the government to delineate us by race, race will be a political issue.

Save a job or create a job. Return all unwanted mail to the sender. Use their return envelope. USPS will be doing overtime, (can’t store it or destroy it) must be returned.

In all seriousness, this is akin to what Obambi's going to do, now that the census is under the umbrella of the White House. He will cook the books in such a way that minority districts will grow in numbers so that they can gerrymander and so that they can get a larger portion of federal funds.

Looking back on the family tree, I believe that I am a minority myself. Best to fight lies with better ones in this particular case.

“Are there laws ? (Not that it matters to them) Where can we find out the laws governing the census?”

There is some discussion of that on this thread with applicable laws.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2152853/posts

I recall one congressman trying to deal with the privacy aspects and the questions having nothing to do with ‘census’.

Duncan Hunter.

H.R.4154 : To amend title 13, United States Code, to provide that the penalty for refusing or neglecting to answer decennial census questions shall apply only to the extent necessary to allow the Government to obtain the information needed for its enumeration of the population, as required by the Constitution of the United States.
Sponsor: Rep Hunter, Duncan [CA-52] (introduced 4/3/2000) Cosponsors (16)

Yes, and ACORN is going to over-report in areas like Philly to keep power.

People in Red States should respond accordingly.

Register your pets, your kids (whereever they are), your imaginary friend, etc.

Yeah.

I have a simple solution to this whole problem: To vote in any election, you have to show that you gave, DIRECTLY, more in taxes than you received, DIRECTLY, in government services. You take from the government and you give up your right to vote, until such time that the equation works in the opposite direction.

Seriously, over-report.
