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.

How about a ‘Harry Reid like young boys’ stamp?
Stamping “TAX CHEAT” on the signature on the dollar bills, that’s a nice touch. http://www.taxcheatstamps.com/
Is it legal to mail tea bags? Would it be considered harassment or terrorism or any other crime on the books?
....remember when emailing reps....if you mass email (example..CC ) MASS EMAILINGS GET DELETED FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL EMAIL BOX!!...they just don’t go forward and are stopped.
That’s W4, but you have the right idea.
I’m claiming based on my refund, such that I’ll end up paying next April. That’s much better than giving them an interest free loan.
how about shutting things down at the local levels first?
>>Now, we’re talking. One of these days, our side is going to realize how far things have slipped, and that the system is now so corrupt that we no longer can work ‘through the system’.<<
Yeah, 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.”

excellent
What do you propose?
You know I feel just like that guy in france weeping in a WWII picture of him standing along the sidewalk while the germans are marching into Paris.
That picture says it all. That is exactly the way I feel right now.
I am doing the opposite as far as the traffic laws. Police are being told to step up tickets because of state budget shortfalls. That is why more states are now considering laws that make it okay for cops to stop you only for lack of seatbelt use.
For my state, buy a cheap but reliable car so as to lessen property tax revenue. (I live in South Carolina), and I have yet to give up my terrific 98 Oldsmobile Intrigue that only costs me $93 in prop tax. (Still runs great!)
This will be nothing but an annoying gnat buzzing around the tyrants elected by the dumb-masses we face now.
We could mail just the tag off the tea bag. It would still be symbolic.
A Conservative Smoke-In at Lafayette Park would make around-the-world news.
I'm not sure I see what good that does?
I don't think so. Mail some to Bawney Fwank...I've read that his kind like teabags.
I remember that photo. I hadn’t thought of it in a long time.
You’re right...that’s exactly how I feel, too.
Well, as long as we don’t action like non-confrontational French ‘men’, we’ll be fine. American men need to rediscover their ‘cubes’ and start knocking some heads around.
Got to start somewhere my friend.
I just can’t sit back and take it anymore. If I’m like most of you, I want to strike out.
This may be a small and ineffectual protest, but at least its something.
