"The people have the final say as to how they are governed. Anyone who doubts this fact need only look to the Declaration of Independence where our Founding Fathers state the people have the right to alter or abolish the government and replace it with another government. "

(Cue up Supertramp "Dreamer".) The sad fact is that the citizens have given up their rights. The dream to follow the right you mentioned of"to alter or abolish the government and replace it with another government" would get you in jail now.

So unless you can show me a couple of examples of the citizenry successfully doing that there is nothing more to talk about. That is a pure dream that can not be exercised in the reality of today's America.

Tell that to the growing grassroots tea party movement.

That's not much of a risk considering we're already losing our Constitutional freedoms.

You must either have a short memory or don't read history. Ever hear of Martin Luther King Jr and his successful Civil Rights movement? How about Ghandi and his success with civil disobedience in India against the British? Keep talking.
