A PETITION FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/10/a-petition-for---if-gte-mso-9xml
Just hit the 250 mark.
Just signed it. I will encourage friends and family to do so as well.
One of the latest of many, mnay GREAT comments coming in from patriots all over the country:

We're standing on the precipice of dissolution. Sign this petition and send it on to everyone you know. If you want your children to enjoy the same liberty you've enjoyed, sign - then get on your knees and pray to the ONE God of Heaven that this disintegration of liberty will cease.
Do you think they will read and think, "Gee, we were wrong and better back off our socialist agenda?". Of course not - they know they have control.
Here's the bottom line I have been saying for some time: YOU WANT CHANGE? THEN BE WILLING TO SIT DOWN AT THE VARIOUS TEA PARTIES AND MAKE THE POLICE PICK YOU UP (while surrending peacefully). Or chain yourselves together or chain yourselves to the Capitol steps. Are you getting the gist?
Real world publicity is everything. If we want to get noticed, it's time we use the same tactics the socialists have used for decades to their benefit.
Civil disobedience is our right. Interestingly, when you apply for "special event" with the DC police, the form even asks "civil disobedience?"...check box yes or no. Of course you don't check yes. Just do it.
I'm working with the SO to possibly show up at DC for the 9/12 event. If I can make it, I give you my word I will just sit down and dare the LEO's to pull me up. Once they do, I will not resist arrest, let them handcuff me, and spend the night in jail, which I believe to be a misdemeanor.
Think if HUNDREDS did the same thing. I posted phone numbers for the DC Police and the Park Police to inquire about such laws, regulations, and penalties. I got no response, while others on the thread threatened to bring weapons, or cardboard cut-outs of weapons, but no one responded to my suggestion, not even JR.
Petitions, protests, demonstrations will no longer get it done. Believe it!!! As I've been saying on my own Articles and in my Posts in other FR articles, it's time to take it to the next level.
Problem is, no one seems to be willing to go to jail for refusing to disburse. I am. I also swore I would bail out and pay the fines for 20 who do that. I no longer believe anyone is willing to make such a sacrifice.
Now I'm getting really pissed off. Do I really need to foresake my SO's family problems and get on a plane just to show you guys how it's done?
Why the heck can't you TEA Party folks line up a couple of pro bono (or paid) attorneys to get you out of jail ASAP for civil disobedience? So you're finger-printed and spend a few hours in a holding cell?
So what? It's not like the Fedgov can't find you anyway if they want, or like you're going to get "punked" in some holding cell that the police watch. Need I really spend all that money to go to DC and show you how to "stand up" or just "sit down"???
Look, boys and girls, I grew up on the streets of Los Angeles from the time I was 16. I spent many times in local and county jails for traffic warrants and other stupid youth stuff. That was for being a young clueless idiot. Now I'm willing to do the same for something important. Are you?
As I said, it is sort of a macrocosm of what happened at Klamath.
We had almost 30,000 people at a rally in the Spring that year, with all the glad handing politicians (even those who agreed with us) and nothing came of it.
It was not until a few dozen of us actually defied them, turned on the water, and then camped on the headgates and were dispersed by US Marshals, that things really started to happen...and then we had to maintain that civil disobedience vigil for months, surrounding the LEOs who they had sent to the headgates and literally harassing them and ultimately tresspassing their lines in large numbers before anything substanative happened.
In that case Karl Rove ultimately pointed out the political reality of the situation to Bush and they found a graceful way to relent after 911.
We will not be blessed this time with high level officials who want to find a way to relent...we will need hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
Interesting. Hope everyone here signs this petition. I intend to do so today.
I signed the petition, but the care 2 site is a leftist commie bunch.
A hearty three cheers for this idea.
Imperative that such action is taken and followed through with integrity and intent ...
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Lots of good comments from patriotis on the petition are shown here on this thread.
Here's one of the newer ones:

If increasing socialism were the solution, we would all be speaking Cuban, Russian, Swedish etc by now.

I will not stand by while a bunch of socialist, Marxist thugs try to take down the greatest country on earth. I am physically sickened to see what money, greed and power have done to the elected officials sworn to represent it. I believe in capitalism, I believe in freedom. I believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We the People outnumber the usurpers among us, and we will fight to the death to keep our magnificent Constitution.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA IS AGAINST THIS COUNTRY, AND EVERYTHING IT HAS STOOD FOR. CLEARLY HE IS OUT TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AS WE KNOW IT. WE NEED TO SPEAK UP, WE NEED TO ENLIGHTEN OTHERS TO WHAT MANY OF US ALREADY KNOW. HOW CAN THIS BE !!!! AND IF WE WERE NOT REQUIRED TO PRINT OUR NAME AND ADDRESS, MORE PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY SAY HOW THEY FEEL!!!!
Saving for printing and distributing.
This could be printed as well on individual cards, signed by citizens, and mailed to all elected representatives at every level.
I plan to make up such cards.
Just hit 300. Slow growth...but steady.

How about you standing up for the U.S. Constitution, which as a part of your service, you swore to uphold? If you don't like what the Constitution represents, then why don't you expatriate yourself and move to Botswana or some other "idyllic liberal paradise?" I'm sure that comrade Hugo Chavez would welcome you with open arms in Venezuela, then you can take your residence in Petare, a socialist's paradise.
