The man who created two phenomenally successful "We The People" YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films.
Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the "Common Sense" pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.
Basso, whose website offers his services as a motivational speaker, uses the YouTube presentations to condemn "non-representing representatives" and warns, "Only when they feel the almighty wrath of 'We The People' marching in the streets from California to New York shouting 'We're mad as hell and we want our country back' will they get the message they work for you."

OK, this is "Tired of Taxes" position on the two video messages here.
No problem.
I referred to the other video and what Basso said in that one.
Funny, you're next post to me after the. "Obama sees this man as his ally comment", you stated:
I already watched both videos before commenting.
Look, you either see this man and his message as an ally to Obama or not.
Which is it?
Dragnet2,
Are you Basso?
Feel free to answer the question.
I already did. He is Obama’s ally on those two issues. And so are you. ;-)
Oh, I see.
lol...
Do you really see? Somehow I doubt it.
And you added the word “just”. Those are important issues.
Got it!
First of all, thanks for your service to our country.
I haven’t read to the bottom of this thread, so I apologize if this is a repeat of what someone already has said.
The country was founded around “Individual Liberty”. One man one vote was specifically not what was needed to keep this individual liberty. One man one vote equals mob rule, and mob rule means that the rights of the individual are trampled into nonexistence if the mob decides so.
Exactly. And 85% of us will be white slaves.
"It will be interesting to watch it all play out when his supporters are required to sweep the streets. ;-)"
The way they're hypnotized, most of them will give up their freedom willingly.
More like 74%. And dropping. But, it doesn’t matter to me what color. Slavery is slavery.
I DO agree with the idea that a student who wants tuition help should be required to work in return for it, or someone collecting a government check should be required to do something in return for it.
What frightens me is the part about school students in “community service”. I don’t know how that part of the plan will play out, but it’s very worrisome.
The Pell grant already had work program associated with it. So, in that respect this was an unnecessary bill.
If I understand the bill correctly, he’s proposing a new $4,000 tax credit toward college tuition in return for “community service”. I’m assuming this would be in addition to the other types of federal tuition aid available.
I oppose the bill. We’re a homeschool family, and this bill is very worrisome. But, there are certain parts of the bill more worrisome than others.
