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

I absolutely loved the part where Hillary ascends to the presidency. If we get her and her fans on board, we will truly be bipartisan. And bisexual to boot! Woo hoo!!

“I believe that real American patriots have more faith in our over 200-year-old system of Government than to think it will all collapse just because the wrong people got elected.”

How about defining what a “True American Patriot” is.

I am under the impression that the Founding Patriots believed that any system that men could construct, other men could destroy, and all that it required is a lack of vigilance on the part of the citizens. That is why they very carefully attempted to limit and restrict the power that the government could exercise. A two century long tradition of continuity is certainly no guarantee that a nation or a state will continue into the future. The list of states that no longer exist is quite long.

Do now?
Use the third box: SUE the government over every action not plainly empowered by the Constitution.

Perhaps with a generous dose of tarring and feathering. Equating that with slavery is a sign of abject wussiness.

I suggest that we report anyone, including FReepers, that show up with guns. This is not acceptable!

Uh....excuse me. My 2A rights are not negotiable.

I joined this protest with the understanding that it would not be a violent confrontation. If there will be armed hotheads attending this protest, I will stay home and suggest the same to other families.

Guns are illegal in DC. If you want to show up with your guns, please join with one of the other groups. FR is not condoning the use of firearms. You will be helping the MSM destroy FR.

That was Iran - this is America - we have a 1000 to 1 ratio of available instant communications... we don’t have a totalitarian government (Yet)...

Besides - I really don’t identify with FEAR ... I have no fear of confronting what the government might do to shut us down... I am not afraid of such things ... I want and wish for confrontation ... I want the Obama government to screw up by cracking heads - it will be the end of the Obamanation if he did push for strong arm tactics...

Our Patriot Forefathers did not wince from such thoughts - they did not hesitate, they took action, they did not FEAR... they fought... they did more than talk — they moved forward - struck back, rallied, aroused the crowd — ALL Because our Patriot Heroes of the 1770’s knew the consequences of failure to take action... and the consequences (as is now) would have been to sign up for servitude... indentured slaves to the Monarchy...

The stakes are no different today than they were then...

I for one have no plans to be an indentured slave - owned by Obama — I will FIGHT...

Fire arms are NOT illegal in Washington DC.

Because a person is carrying a firearm doesn’t make them a hothead.

But your comment does show you are prejustice against gun owners, perhaps you’re on the wrong forum, maybe try DU.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not against gun owners. I am for the 2nd amendment but I believe in responsible gun ownership. I think it would be a big mistake to march into DC armed and ready for civil war.

My family has always owned guns and we will continue to own guns but they will not be used because we were infiltrated by a couple of hotheads. Cooler heads prevail.

Personally, I’m planning to take my 9 yo granddaughter. I have no intention of putting her in the middle of an armed conflict.

I’m sorry if I was misinformed about fire arms in DC. If you are planning to bring gunfire to DC, I suggest you try a different forum. Jim is not suggesting a violent protest. The event organizers are not condoning violence. Maybe you should plan and coordinate a separate march.

A quarter care about the founding vision of the USA, the Constitution, etc.

Of course, if all 77 million of them marched on DC, that would be a different story. :-)

If you are truly serious about this, include a provision to abolish the Federal Reserve. The Warburgs, Rothschilds, Morgans, etc. can go run somebody else’s financial system.

Also, a provision to get us back on a Gold Standard without causing economic collapse in the process would be nice. Part of the government’s problem is that it can print fiat currency with abandon and damn the consequences (hyperinflation). The only serious problem in the way of this, that I see, is that the IMF or some other global organization owns a vast amount of gold, and could thus manipulate our currency if we went back to a Gold Standard.

That would mean that Hillary Clinton would become interim Chief Executive? NO Thank you!! I say that all appointed positions by Obama and Congress are also removed from office - ASAP. There needs to be an interim President and that person should be decided by the Governors of the states until such time as a true vote has been taken. Also, any attempt (e.g. ACORN) at strongly influencing the vote or committing voter fraud should be met with a prison sentence. No more stealing the elections!!

“That would mean that Hillary Clinton would become interim Chief Executive?”

As I said to Jim Thompson...I think it is DIABOLICAL...

I think Hillary is self-interested enough that she would jump at this opportunity. She may be a democrat, but she can tell which way the wind is blowing and position herself accordingly.

"If you are truly serious about this, include a provision to abolish the Federal Reserve."

The provision is already there. That's the beauty of restoring the constitution as the supreme law of the land. All federal departments, agencies, programs, pogroms, congressional acts, court rulings, etc, that cannot be proven to be 100% in compliance and expressly enumerated and authorized by the constitution are hereby rendered null and void and shuttered tight. Kaput. I don't see any provision in the constitution for a federal reserve.

We can get along fine without the federal reserve. The only thing they're good at is creating economic bubbles and crashes so huge that they imperil our society and the republic itself. Each bubble to meltdown cycle is larger and more perilous than the last. If this one doesn't wipe us out, the next one (under Obama's socialist guidance) most certainly will.

I am glad to see your Statement I have been waiting for some one to get the balls enough to start. You are so right it is time to cast out this government and myself and my family are ready to help. It is time to show Americans are no longer going to take these abuses so lets take back our REPUBLIC and stomp out SOCIALISM and SOCIAL Activists in our GREAT NATION.

Supporting the 2A by open carry of a firearm does not mean the individual is a hothead, nor is it the promotion of violence. It is exercising a right.

Yours is the reason we have so many anti-gun laws on the books.
