I would love to see several million Americans put their Federal taxes in a “lock box” either with a lawyer or a bank

I think millions already are. Let’s see what happens next April. A Tax revolt is not legal, but what the corrupt government is doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. UNCONSTITUTIONAL is FAR worse. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Sooner of later, people are going to wake up and realize that the cesspool in DC is ruining and running the lives of every citizen. Both parties should be appalled and refuse to take it anymore.

Actually, nothing should change around the country if this thing is well played and announced way in advance.

The only immediate changes would be in DC. Pinkslips to elected DC politicians from the Governors of each state (should they choose to participate) would happen a for hand.

Here’s a far better plan, one that I’ve been pushing unsuccessfully for over two years:

http://24ahead.com/s/question-authority

Find someone else to come up with questions, find someone else to ask the questions, find someone else to videotape it, and find someone else to upload it and promote it. I’ll even volunteer to edit questions for maximum effectiveness.

All that’s needed is someone with organizing capabilities to pull it together. And, discrediting one national politician on videotape by asking them questions they can’t answer will have a far greater impact than any marches.

And, for those who say that politicians aren’t available, that’s obviously wrong. National politicians make public appearances each and every day. In fact, there’s a disreputable picture of a “tea partier” holding up bunny ears behind the head of Raul Grijalva; if that “partier” had had the intelligence to ask him a real question that would have helped discredit him.

If only it were that simple.

US treasury printing presses are not Barry’s or the countries only source of cash/credit.

There is ONE option that would work. 100 million could do it in the comfort of their homes and it would have a more devastating effect than a million marches on DC. We all know what that ONE thing is. TR

If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do? Millions would be great- but a million will do nicely ...

We not only need to get a million people - WE MUST DO SO!

Obama will not be moved by much of anything... But Members of Congress will ... I suggest we call this Operation “LAME DUCK” ... A million or more people assembling in D.C. will scare the pants off of House Members and Senators... And this would be the case for all persuasions - Conservative, Middle of the Road - So Called Moderates - Liberals (perhaps only the die hard Leftist would not be worried).

With the 2010 elections coming up with Primaries in the Spring - we have a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to smack Congress in the head with a 2 by 4.

Imagine this one - two million assembling, cheering, chanting - we hear our designated speakers - we call out certain members of Congress - House Reps and Senators - and point our collective fingers right in their face...

But the real secret is after the main assembly the throng just moves quietly into the streets and form in mass in front of the Capitol Building and the White House and we just SIT IN THE STREET and Do Not Move...

50,000 troops and 20,000 cops could not move a million people from the streets of D.C. They will not risk violence - as long as we are being Civilly Disobedient - Non Violent - there is nothing much to be done...

We could stay there for days - calling on cell phones for more to drive to D.C. — STOP traffic in D.C. for 24-36-48 hours...

Elected officials of all types - even Bureaucrats would stop and being to think twice.

Collectively - by scaring the pants of politicians - scaring them will the fear of not being re-elected - will bring on an early LAME DUCK season for Obama...

Just let the sight of this roll over in your mind... We can do it... Operation Lame Duck.

The ultimate response is civil war, and the only recourse that is left when those who have appointed themselves the powers of God to tax and spend as they wish refuse to step down peacefully.

We do not need to establish a new government, we need to abolish all who have broken the Constitution by backing this known illegal presidency from serving in any public office for life.

We need to flush the supreme court for interpreting the plain text of the constitution with personal power in mind. We can do that simply because they are incompetent.

We need to find out who is part of this massive scheme to put a Marxist sock puppet in power and execute them as traitors.

We need to establish term limits for all public offices.

We need to abolish the federal banking system.

We need to repeal federal income tax as it is unconstitutional.

Bouncing checks intentionally is fraud and is punishable by criminal law. Congress is NOT above the law no matter how many times they insist they are.

We need to be ready to die for freedom or die in chains. There is no other option before us. Within the first term of this dictator, it will become quite clear the illegality of these men's power grab, and the only question is IF there are enough honest men left in the Congressional Mafia that there remains something to be salvaged of our Country without the people having to rise up in violence. I am hoping and praying, but all I have seen is this District of Corruption push farther and farther trying to find a breaking point.

This next vote will be a key point. Will it be as banana republic as our presidential vote? Or will the people be heard from. If not, I fear for our country.

Yep Jim you got it nailed. This is right where we are. All that is left is for the rest of the country to wake up. When (not if) the economy collapes, there will be no welfare payments. A lot of people are going to starve.

Wonder what the reactions of the other world powers would be? Would they sit back and watch the show or would they intervene?

My imagination is running wild here.

Absolutely bring your children, grandchildren anyone you can get to go along. They wouldn’t dare use violence against children and families and if they did, the next step is obvious.

"Whatever needs to be done. I would gladly, and literally if need be, march to D.C. Not a threat just a fact."

Sure looking forward to meeting you in DC on 9/11! The Sheraton has rooms available at our great group rate and the National Freeper Convention tickets are on sale! Sign up sooner rather than later!

SEE YOU IN DC!

“I’m concerned about the approach of marching on DC for a few reasons:
1) If it doesn’t bring about change, then energies are wasted.
2) If passion leads to action, then there are no supplies for a sustained action.
3) The “bad guys” would probably not even be in town.”

1. We’ll get more...there is not a finite supply.
2. We’ll need to “get them from the field upon which we are fighting.”
3. Wars are won in the hearts and minds of the people...the “bad guys” are not going to be deterred because they are there. And, if there is ANY common sense left in any Conservative in DC, they will help to manufacture a reason to be there, somehow (fillibuster, motions, delays, Parliamentary actions, etc.)...if they can’t figure that out, they are not on our side and need to go anyway.

Nobody has to lift a finger, to bring down the govt.
It just takes numbers. If enough people refuse to pay their taxes, the govt would have to shut down; like night follows day.
WE gave them the power. WE are supplying these addicts.

BINGO!!! It would bring them to their knees instantly. It is illegal, but what they are doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and that is far worse. Does anyone seriously think the IRS could come after and arrest 150 million people or more people?

“This plan is for the United States of America as laid down by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.”

Right on. Diabolical.
