The courts, the polls, any legal means at all available to the citizens of the USA. No standing? Go to court again. And again. They have awoken a sleeping giant, they just don’t realize quite yet.
“Go to court again. And again.”
Yeah, some people have been doing exactly that. And achieved absolutely nothing.
The best we’re likely to get is a congress that’s hostile to the Kenyan-in-Chief, but this isn’t going to happen until the GOP gets some balls or we ‘conservatives’ stop supporting them.
First time I actually agree with you. The left has learned how to use the courts to their advantage. Unfortunately the court is mostly left leaning. Thats how Al Frankenstien got his Senate seat.
The question is: What are we going to do about it?
Write a nice, polite letter to your Congressperson?
Hey, if you think that will help, Ive got a bridge you might be interested in buying. And it isnt your bridge to the future, either.
Vote better people, into office? Oh yeah, thats what we thought we were doing before.
Work to fight one bad bill or another. Okay. What will you do about the 10 or 20 or 100 equally horrible bills that will be passed behind your backwhile you were fighting that little battle?
And what about the horrors you dont even learn about until two or three years after they become law? Should you try fighting these laws in the courts?
Where do you find the resources?
Where do you find a judge who doesnt have a vested interrest in a more powerful government?
And again, for every one case decided in favor of freedom, what do you do about the 10, 20 or 100 in which the courts decide against the Bill of Rights?
Perhaps youd consider trying to stop the onrush of these horrors with a constitutional amendment - maybe one that bans omnibus bills, requires that every law meet a constitutional test or requires all congress people to sign statements that they theyve read and understood every every aspect of every bill on which they vote.
Good Luck! Good luck, first on getting such an amendment passed and our Constitution-scorning leaders to obey it.
It is true, that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and part of that vigilance has been, traditionally keeping a watchful eye on laws and on lawbreaking lawmakers.
But given the current pace of law spewing and unconstitutional regulation-writing, you could watch, plead and struggle within the system 24-hours a day for your entire life and end up infinitely less free than when you begin.
Why throw your life away on a futile effort?
Face it.
If working within the system could halt tyranny, the tryants would outlaw it.
Why do you think they encourage you to vote, to write letters, to talk to them in public forums?
Its to divert your energies. To keep you tame.
the system is a maze. You run around thinking youre getting somewhere. Your masters occasionally reward you, and this encourages you to believe youre accomplishing something.
And in the meantime, you are as much their property and their pawn as if you were a slave.
In the effort of fighting them on their terms and with their authorized and approved tools, you have given your lifes energy to them as if you were toiling in their cotton fields, under the lash of their overseer.
The only way were going to get out is personally, as individuals, refuse to cooperate with evil.
How we do that is up to each of us. I cant decide for you, nor you for me. (Unlike congress people, who think they can decide for everybody.)
But this totalitarian runaway truck is never going to stop unless we stop it any way we can. Stopping it might include any number of things: tax resistance; public civil disobedience wide-scale, silent non-cooperation, highly noisy non-cooperation , boycotts; secession efforts; monkey wrenching; computer hacking; dirty tricks against government agencies; alternative, self-sufficient communities that provide their own food and utilities.
There are thousands of avenues to take, and this is something most of us still need to give more thought to before we can build an effective resistance. We will each choose the courses that are right for our own circumstances, personalities and beliefs.
Whatever we do, though, we must remember that we are all, already, outlaws.
No one of us can be certain going through a single day without violating some law or regulation weve never heard of. We are all guilty in the eyes of todays law.
If someone in power chooses to arrest us, we can all, already, be prosecuted for something. And Im sure you know that your claim of innocence is not treated under similar claims of our politicians.
Politicians are above the law.
YOU are under it.
Crushed under it.
When you look at it that way, we have little to lose by breaking laws creatively and purposefully.
Yes, some of us will suffer horrible consequences and it is very risky to actively resist unbridled power. It is especially risky to go public with resistance. It becomes riskier the closer we get to tyranny.
For that reason, among many others,I would advise you to really think twice before taking advice from anybody about from anybody about things effecting your life and well-being. But if we dont resist in the best ways we know how and if we dont resist we will be working the system governed by those who regard us as nothing but cattle. The revolution against We the People will not be stopped by politeness.
It will not be stopped by pleading for justice from those who will resort to any degree of trickery or violence to rule us.
It will not be stopped unless we are willing to risk our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors to stop it.
I think of the words of Winston Churchill: If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and -you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you for your survival....There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory...because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
