We need to slow America down. Slow down, America, and slow down the President and the Congress. Everyone knows that speed kills and haste makes waste. Wonder if the talk shows would be interested in a drive time story?
The Tea Party was a good idea, and a massive April 15th showing on the Mall is good too, but how about a wide spread, simple plan to involve everyone with a wish to get active and create an impact without permits, plans, police, out of pocket expense and driving 1,000 miles. And something that could be done right away.
Maybe a Slow Down America event?
Slow down! What's the Hurry? Haste makes waste. Think of it as the motorized equivalent of going out on your balcony and screaming "I'm fed up and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
Everyone who wants to take part can go, the more the better. Even if they would otherwise be too old, too young, or physically incapable of doing it - everyone loves a Sunday drive. Think massive funeral processions, with lights on and flags, placards and all the signs you want to put on cars and trucks, but with a unifying message - Slow Down America - Haste Makes Waste.
Slow down - not stop - every major artery - on a lot of freeways and highways that just means doing the speed limit - with long, slow processions into every major city right around the time everyone is coming home from their weekend. Movable Sunday night vigils back into the city.
Of course a REALLY aggressive move would be to do it every morning starting at 6am and every afternoon starting at 4pm until we get the full attention of the public, certainly in no more than a few days.
You would have the option of also saying Death of America, not just ‘American economy’. What we are witnessing today is the actual death of the America our forefathers passed to us. We have had our moments of trial and temptaions in the past, but we have allowed the left to take everything away from us incrementially. We have been asleep, just getting on with life, while they have been moving and shaking things to it very core. Maybe the procession would help more Americans see how ‘late’ it is and get involved to turn it around. We may not have the chance to turn it around with voting if we don’t take back some ground...and not just a couple seats, in the 2010 elections. It will truly be over, then.
People are sheep (sheeple) until their kids bellies are empty. Then they go berserk, kill people and depose the government/bourgeosie.
Might want to let the GOP and their new RNC Head know that... Michael "Hip Hop" Steele...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2197103/posts
Far and away the best plan. If govt were a disease, it would be a miracle cure, almost instantaneous relief. They can't rob us without our cooperation.
Yes - sooner would be better - but rousing participation to get millions to protest in D.C. would take months of work - funds raising - even this summer would be a tough schedule...
And you are correct - much can and will happen to us in the near term. But I am talking about shutting the government down - making Congress undo the damage or resign.
