I’m not trying to cause trouble or sound like a crazyman. But at what point do people in a free society go beyond the ballot box to preserve their freedom? Are we at that point now? What might that look like? Where/how should it begin?

I have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone on this site is a hardworking, law abiding, freedom loving citizen. How about you?

When? What point?
Well, when it becomes clear after 2010 that the ballot box has been so corrupted as to not be an option anymore.

And it should ALREADY be “beginning”, with phonecalls and letters to your STATE LEGISLATORS. Demand state sovereignty legislation. Then demand enforcement.

Then, prepare to back up your locals when the feds come to arrest them or enforce their unconstitutional laws.

What exactly are you talking about? We're simply talking about attending town hall meetings to voice our opinions on the matter and let them know if they don't start listening, they will be voted out of office. BTW, even if your intent was not to cause trouble or sound like a crazyman, you will be quoted on various left wing blogs and accused of just that. Not only that, they'll label the entire site as such. Just sayin’....

My ideas on that are probably too antiquated to describe on this forum. My ideas as to what comes next are at least 233 years old. :)

You’ll know it when it gets to that point. And then you’ll have to choose sides, if you haven’t already. There will be no evading the issue.
