If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do?

I’m always non-violence. Leave that stuff for the libtards and Marxist commies. They’re so good at it. Bill Ayers, call your office.

Could we make Gates POTUS? He may be behind Hillary in succession, but he also isn’t connected to any treasonous activities or massive single-payer health plans...

No threats on the signs; no threats via bullhorn; no threat of violence. Peacefully picket close to their homes during a recess and let them get an "up and personal" idea how it feels to lose their privacy and inherent right to be left alone.

I kinda like this idea. Two small modifications:

1. Bullhorns, and lots of them. Make lotsa noise.
2. Make it 24x7 and don't let the bastards leave their house or sleep for a minute.

I came to this thread late and haven’t read every single word. This may have been suggested-—cut off every pension for every senator and representative. This will effectively term limit them. They won’t serve if they are not building lucrative retirement accounts.

I think secession is more practical

Perhaps that should be the last resort.

When I said low level terrorists, I was talking about this:

And right before the tea parties, we had the DHS report. My sign said, “Do I look like a dangerous extremist?” (I soooo don’t.)

“...and the talk at most concerned the enormous unconstitutional power grab that is now taking place...”

AGREED! There were people with signs that said different things. One at our protest was on plexi-glass and said in orange letters, “Where’s your transparency Obama?” There were a LOT of different things on signs, but the overwhelming concern was that government is overreaching.

Then, you had the fact that they were called tea-parties. And the media took it and ran. Because Obama’s not raising taxes. (wink) And “Why didn’t these guys protest taxes under other presidents?”

So, that’s why instead of just cheerleading, I think that if we are going to organize and march and even engage in civil disobedience, there has to be a clear statement and notion of the things we are rallying around.

If we’re all to be on the same page, we need the page.

Bump Dat...

Bump for later

When we face prosecution and imprisonment for speaking out about the government’s treachery and/or the forceable taking away of our guns, that will be the moment when violent force on our part becomes necessary.

Although we are quickly approaching a time when free speech and the right to bear arms are illegal, we haven’t yet reached that time. Peaceful but forceful action can still be taken.

“As someone else pointed out, since the Feds can print money anytime they want, why do they need yours?”

Every time they print money they are taking yours, it’s called inflation.

If millions marched on Washington, they would do anything we told them to do. A good start would be to repeal every law enacted over the past forty years.

That puts it in perspective. I remember the DHS report - it was right before the tea parties as you mentioned, and it was mentioned by more than one of our great speakers.

I agree that we need a common, strong message. Not just from FR, but from all the various groups that are attending. Our Tea Party organizers are setting up busses and hotel rooms for us, and I'm certain that other community tea party groups are doing the same. FR is also on the bandwagon.

I believe that we all have a great deal in common, though perhaps with a bit different dialect. Most everybody is ticked off about the same things. There needs to be (if there isn't already) a national or overseeing group that will align the purposes so that they all resemble the common goal. Variations are acceptable, and perhaps encouraged, but the direction has to be common.

At great risk of starting a flame war, I would nominate Sarah Palin for that role. Seriously! The hard left doesn't like her. The RINO establishment doesn't really like her. The big government establishment doesn't like her. But many, many conservatives, libertarians, and other working people do like her. Anybody that believes in freedom likes her.

Ostammer will order armed guards be placed at every entrance to the city, trains, airports, all of it.

Let’s say 3,000,000 of us showed up. Would we be prepared to force our way in, if needed? Ostammer will do away with posse comitatus. The question is, will American soldiers fire on Americans, or will they disobey orders? I don’t know. Most say they wouldn’t and I like to think not, but we’ve certainly seen it happen often enough in other countries.

It is understood that you and all of us should be cautious with the Obamaism tactics, they are in power,and positioned to hurt people who get in their way, just as Clinton, and Rahm the Ballerina are and will do to anyone in their path...that is why we must resist with every fiber of our being, and when our friends are attacked we must rally to defend them, and well as our nation...No Fear, just resolve to not lose our freedom...

Very good :)

Fine by me.
