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.

That is why more states are now considering laws that make it okay for cops to stop you only for lack of seatbelt use.

NM has had a "click it, or ticket" campaign for several years. You do get stopped and fined for not wearing your seatbelt.

We better learn to fight back lest we plan to roll over

I'm with you! In less than 30 days that Obama's been in office, the RATS and the RINOS have all but turned us into a socialist nation. The longer they are in control, the worse it's going to get and the harder it's going to be to undo the damage. I would rather we do something about it now than to dump it onto our kids and grand kids! I cannot do that to them. Blood from my family has run deep in foreign lands to keep this country free, and I won't let them have died in vain, if I can help it.

I like that!

as Claire Wolfe says, “America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”

Now that the Porkulus Economic Destruction Act has been passed, I'm not so sure that it's still "too early to shoot the bastards."

"101 Things to do before the revolution"

Just explored that link, and I've got to have a copy! I sent the link to a whole bunch of like-minded folks I know. Thanks

time for talking, begging, voting and pleading is coming to an end.

None of it is working any longer, so we've got to start thinking of how to operate at the next level.

It's been 232 years, but I think the American people still have enough Spirit of '76 in them to get the job done.

Mass tax subversion. If millions do it there is no way they can do anything.

I've been saying that here for months. The trick is getting millions to agree to do it simultaneously, so all are safe from persecution.

I think it’s an excellent idea and I hope it gains traction. I’m game. They can do nothing without money. And with a large number of citizens refusing, there’s no possibility of individuals coming to harm. We’re ALL coming to harm if we do nothing, that’s for sure.
