My Fellow Americans,
When King George III of The British Empire had concluded his French and Indian war in 1763 he lacked to funds to pay for the costly event. His answer was to impose tax after tax on the colonies of America. He started confiscating their monies by taxing every activity of life and creating government subsidized monopolies on everything from courier services to tea. The King wanted to control every aspect of American life and bring as much money into the government coffers as possible.
We are, as I write this post, a mere six hours away from the United States Senate will vote on Cloture that begins a water fall effect to bring about government run health care by Christmas day. A move that will put the government literally in the business of valuing life, deciding how much you should weigh, and forcing you to pay for health care in order to be a citizen in good standing.
This is not the first, and certainly will not be the last power grab of this congress or presidential administration. They have consistently over reached their constitutional authority and shrugged their collective shoulders when called on it. Those of us that have written letters, emailed, called, marched, picketed and questioned in town hall meetings what authority our federal government was using have been laughed at and mocked. We have been ignored.
When President Bush forced through a mammoth bank bailout for some of the most powerful institutions on the planet We The People objected that we did not have the authority or the resources to do so, but no one listened. When President Obama pushed through the government takeover of those institutions and several others We The People said no, and the liberal Lame Stream Media mocked us. These events led to CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli calling for a TEA Party from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The TEA Party movement was born on February 27, 2009.
Over the last year we have done everything we can to get the attention on the Washington DC Proletariat that thinks they can rule over us and thumb their nose at the founding fathers and our founding documents. They are not listening. They have continued to spend and encroach on our rights and freedoms by passing EPA regulations calling our very breathe a dangerous threat to the world, spending without regard to the hazards, driving our dollar below that of third world countries and now taking over one sixth of the economy and forcing all of us into taxation slavery.
My friends it is time for all of us to stand together, to unite the movement and make a stand that shows those in Washington that we will not forfeit our freedoms to become slaves in a Socialist social experiment that We The People do not want. This is why we are calling the National Day of Strike action for January 20, 2010, the one year anniversary of the inauguration of Barack Obama. We The People are the engine of the American economy. We are the genius of the American way of life. We are the host of the parasites in Congress that provide the life blood of tax revenue for an irresponsible and unresponsive organism that only seeks it's own growth and well being.
The National Day of Strike-We The People Strike Back is an act of civil disobedience that is necessary to show our out of control government that we are serious about reigning in their un-constitutional confiscation of our finances, our freedoms and our rights. On January 20, 2010 We The People will strike at the life blood of that parasitic congress by denying them the tax revenue for one day. We will not work. We will not shop, or buy anything that is taxed. We will not renew any licenses, tags, file any government filings and we will not remain silent. On This day we will fire a shot across the bow of Congress that we rule them not the other way around.
These are times that try men's souls my friends. I have not in my life time seen a more hell bent move to take our great nation to the extreme left. We are lurching toward Marxism and Socialism and we are being led there by the very people who swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, yet they are the enemies. We cannot sit idly by and allow what so many generations of warriors and patriots have sacrificed their lives to defend.
Please help us grow this event across organizational, party or geographical lines. Now is the time for us to all stand together. We need leaders and organizers in every state of the union. More details will be coming out this week. UNITE THE RIGHT TO WIN THE FIGHT. For Freedom, Allen Hardage National Operations Director
I've been doing that for a couple years now. But, I quit work 15 years ago this month at age 50.
I suggest you check your own accumulation of tin foil. Actually, nullification worked real well the last time it was tried. Or have you not heard that the Real ID project recently went down in flames due to so many states asserting their power to reject unconstitutional federal law? Oh, wait, I’ll bet you’re referring to the Civil War, where the Constitution was consciously set aside by Mr. Lincoln to prove to those uppity southern states that might really does makes right. If rejecting that premise is crazy, then crazy is precisely what we need more of, and right now.
However in their long term interests I'd be happy to join in and stop the bi-yearly vacations, assorted dirt bikes and computers and whatnot.
The only thing I spend money on is golf. That one would be tough to give up. :-}
Babe! You are the Best!
We will drink this and I will let you know what the response is.
I am sure it will be Fahbuluhs! Wink, Wink!
We really should overload the very systems they think are so important. Every business, etc should lay off 100% of all employees. All of America should go on unemployment and welfare. We should all apply for welfare and social security benefits NOW.
Let’s show them just how well their system really works...

I'm 66 have one son, Dr blam, who doesn't need me and promises to never have any children, he's 42 and I believe him.
So...click on my name to see my 'grandkids.'
hey....i resemble that remark!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!
I also think we need to shut down every major road across the country at precisely the same predetermined time on the first day of the strike. Equip your vehicle with a hidden kill switch and at that precise time stall your vehicle where it will best create a major traffic jam. Pop your hood, get on your cell and call for a tow. Thousands of calls for tow trucks all at the same time should create a bigger traffic jam.
When the police arrive play dumb but be polite and cooperate. If vehicles work in teams in close proximity on the same road it will work much better. Be certain to have your all your paper work in order: drivers license, insurance etc.
This is no different than what some did during the civil rights movement during the 50's and 60's. We need to get the politician's attention while at the same time get them scared. Remember the Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. We need to do the same. Time for talk and carrying signs is over.
i like how you think......
EXACTLY MY FRIEND..I;ve been saying this for months.
NOW ...lets organize it ..We need someone with superior organizing skills to do this . We also need to get the 1000 other like minded groups out there on board.
GOING GALT 2010.
See ya later, ‘bama.
I mean “Going Galt” is like living off the grid.
Also some not so good points. As a wage earner and a consumer you have no other way to affect the government except through the merchant, retailer and wholesaler. They lose, the government also loses.
But there is a more serious problem. Employers play a role here too, and their cooperation, overt or indirect would be necessary for things to work. In most workplaces covered by a union, a day off must be accounted for, either by taking paid vacation time, or paid sick leave.
Net effect on government : zero.
Mind you, I think it's a great idea. Each day a worker fails to earn his normal daily amount deprives the government, state and federal combined of around 0.4% of their yearly protection money.
Take a whole week off without pay and it starts to matter; Two percent would definitely get their attention.
On the other hand, has anyone ever heard of "inputed" income? If you are a high earner and decide to stop working altogether, the government can tax you on the amount you would have earned, had you not quit.
They can't do that you say?
If they can fine you for not buying health insurance, they can fine you for anything!
“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.”
And what? You will sit on the sidelines knowing that on a day when you could have made a difference you lacked the courage to face the laughter, that you lacked the commitment to sacrifice so little for so great a country. Not me, I will strike!
“Will not do. Not a matter of staying home, I will be away on business at a conference. If I am not there, I and my company lose.
Try something else.”
Words of a real patriot...so sionnsar, when your grandchildren ask you what freedom was like and what you did to stop the destruction of America...you can proudly state the above. On your dying bed, do you really want to have in your heart what you posted?
“I agree. This is another feel-good-do-nothing ploy.
If only a tiny portion of the populace would listen to me and STOP PAYING TAXES that they are not obligated to pay, we could bring this monster to its knees within the month. :)”
You do not have a clue...your idea is not only stupid, it is illegal and will result in jail terms...something I have sincere doubts you personally would risk. The national strike can work and literally bring the economy and the government to it’s knees within a week or two if enough participated.
