Feel free to sign up if you are so motivated. They need help, they need leaders in every community and state, so get involved! The time for talk is over now. Thank you for your consideration.

whatever they have plan for us,
we outnumber them never forget that!!!

[Boiler Plate]

A day will not be enough, better make it a week.

[Melas]

If on January the 21st comes around and even a third of workers stayed home, I’ll apologize. However, I’m convinced that this is a pipe dream doomed to failure. A handful will strike and everyone who laughed before will be laughing again.

[kozanne]

Yup, we sure do, but the people I talked with yesterday are giving up. They feel powerless, they are frustrated that all their efforts seem to be for nothing.

We have to rally them, and the best way to do that is action. Plans are being formed everywhere it seems. This new site is all over the Internet this evening.

We’ve got a lot to lose, no time to give up now. That’s what the enemy wants, for us to give up.

Thanks for posting this. I put up another post from this same site and was shot down for my efforts. I mainly wanted to spread the word. I’m glad to see you feel the same as I do and will be getting involved.

[NoobRep]

Sadly, this is what it’s come to. The nation is no longer because we sat idly by and let this happen. We ignored the lessons of history and now we will all pay a price.

My money is on Texas severing it’s ties first.

[cripplecreek]

And what happens the next day?

[kozanne]

I understand where you are coming from, but I don’t really care anymore who is left laughing. Thing is that before too long, nobody is going to be laughing about much of anything.

Let them laugh. If we’re going to go down, I’m going down fighting. They’re gonna have to work really hard to make me quit.

exactly just a few minutes ago i was about to raise the white flag but then I heard on the radio these exact words and I found hope.

also a little off topic

call them for support before thy cave in

Texas isn’t going to severe it’s ties with the union. 99% of Texan’s, myself included are Americans first.

[cripplecreek]

This American/Michigander thanks you for that.

You are correct. Besides, I really wonder if Perry would have the gonads which I seriously doubt. He's playing the crowd right now, push come to shove, he won't do anything.

There's more than meets the eye at work here, we're just not seeing behind the curtain.

Can you just imagine what we could do if we have the media resources that the dems have. Most people want to SEE the news and calls to action, rather than having to exercise their gray matter by reading news on the internet. The GOP or Tea Party is in desperate need of a Fox Network, that would cover a story like this and not be afraid of upsetting DEAR READER and his Chicago thugs who now run everything and hold power over all the networks.

[BelleAl]

I’m a Texan by birth...but no longer live there. I’ll always be a Texan...I guess it’s that 3rd grade Texas history I learned. Remember the Alamo!

I love my country...but I love Texas especially.

[kozanne]

Don’t know. If you have any good ideas, please offer them. This is all brand new to a lot of us and we need any talent we can get.....

[Melas]

We’re all in this thing together. If one state falls, we all fall. That’s the way I’ve always seen it, and always will.

[noiseman]

I certainly support the cause, but this doesn't sound very well thought out. Not purchasing things on the 20th has no effect on anything; it only shifts those expenditures to a different day. This is the same silliness the left tries when they periodically call for people to boycott gasoline purchases on a specific day to protest high gas prices.

Besides, how does temporarily restricting spending have any effect on the government? Seems to me the only people it might hurt (if it were effective, which it won't be - see above) would be merchants.

A better approach would be to refuse en masse to pay income taxes. The IRS is marginally constitutional at best anyway, and this would have a real impact. The problem here is obviously that it would take a very large number of people to participate, and that some would almost certainly be made examples of via IRS persecution if not outright prosecution. Also a problem is that most Americans have little control over tax payment thanks to the evil of witholding. The only option here would be for people to claim the maximum number of deductions, and to start doing it at the beginning of the tax year.

Something must be done, but the proposal contained in this post is only half-baked, I'm afraid. I'm all for pushing back hard (it's long overdue), but we must be SMART about how we do it.

[plain talk]

You are right. For the handful that go along with this — people will just make up for it the next day and buy whatever they would have purchased on the 20th. The government will not lose much if anything.
