I agree, the American people have to take charge, but our government has been doing a great many things for a long long while that are not in line with what it was mandated to do (from the lowly municipality all the way up to and including the fed gov).
My message is mainly constitutional state sovereignty and nullification of unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are acts of tyranny. That is independent state action by the people of that state and can and should happen right away.
The other effort which I support is the CoSG proposed Convention of States, but it is much more lengthy and requires multi-state cooperation and exactitude in every step.
I focus mainly on state nullification because first it strengthens constitutional state sovereignty concepts and can be done immediately.
