Hi JimRob — I’m a bit confused as to why the 17th amendment is one of the top priorities. The repeal would shift the election of Senators to the state legislators and away from the people (popular vote), and I think this would be a bad thing. We need more direct connection to our representatives and not less.

Peaceful protest en masse will be met by some sort of response. It could be violent and we must have the technology ready to send the video out.
If the other side (the government, Obama thugs) goes too far and we get the visual impact of that overreaction out (not expecting a dime’s worth of MSM or maybe even Fox help on this), it might get interesting.
Martin Luther King’s move on Birmingham in 1963 was the right move at the right time from his perspective. The whites were divided between Bull Connor’s faction and another one.
Connor brought in the hoses and arrested thousands among other things to assert his position among whites.
His overreaction to the protests was national news and stirred the pot up. The “moderate” faction caved on hiring more blacks to work in Birmingham stores.
Klan members bombed hotels and churches after the King-Connor confrontation.
Then blacks rioted in Birmingham and the spiral of violence spread into northern cities in 1963, early 1964, took a break (deliberate) for the 1964 elections, then continued into the rest of the 1960’s.
In our situation I have a couple of questions.
Will there be a narrow set of specific demands??????
Are we ready to accept that violence that could result because the other side attacks us?????????
I ask the questions not to downplay the idea of a march on Washington, just to get it into perspective and generate sober thinking.
And you might want to add Depends to that list. I know it sounds crazy, but lack of rest room facilities would be a real downer. What did those gazillions of people do at the inauguration? Oh wait . . .I don’t want to know . . .
I saw the heaps of trash they left everywhere. That’s one thing we would NOT do, just because it’s not in our nature.
Most people will gladly ride the trains to their gulags.
I truly believe if it were not for the MSM we would not have this usurpation of power in the executive branch. Many of the Democrats in the Senate have complained, Byrd sent a letter to Obama and told him he was abusing the power and eliminating the checks and balances. I do not believe that most Democrats want one man in charge of this country. Only the CPUSA and the Che lovers want that.
That would depend on air conditioning, leg room and lavatory availability.
You're on the list now. You RADICAL you.
That was a few. Million? No way in hell.
YES!!!!!!!
Dismantle DC!
2. Draft a Declaration of Resistance to Restore the Republic, ( similar to the Declaration of Independence) written collectively by these leaders, to be signed by MILLIONS of citizens, with actual confirmed signatures
2. Publish a textbook of action , including new ways to confront leaders, organize harrassment teams to personally confront senators and congressmen at all levels of government in all states dog them like the poparazzi go after celebrities, devise methods to force media accountability, establish a media propaganda watchdog group
marches are largly ignored and easily mocked by the media
I did not vote for this guy who wants to destroy what we have and replace it with his image of utopia. That is not what he proposed either. He is the wolf in the suit.
we would probably litter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BOOKMARK FOR THOUGHT~~~~~~~~~~~~
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF IMBECILES LIKE PELOSI CAN CONGRESS, SO CAN WE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not my first choice, but she is Secretary of State. No time to organize a presidential election and we must have a civilian commander-in-chief in place at all times starting the moment the treasonous B. Hussein Obama, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are removed from office.
at the same time we need to inform ourselves as to the parameters of what defines "terrorist threats" and "acts of terrorism" when speaking openly.
All other activities should be done in secret with a plan of how to communicate secretly
It’s pleasant to think about the IRS not being able to pay salaries...because several million taxpayers stiffed them.
Um... most folk who work for someone else for a living tend to withhold about enough to pay the taxes, so they don’t have to dig deep in April (after paying off the kid’s Christmas)... so what is it you’re proposing here?
