Win or lose (and I personally think this guy will lose, unfortunately), acts of civil disobedience can bring into focus the unjustice we've come to believe is "justice" and "the rule of law." For the vast majority of the population, who don't have what could be descrbed as a political philosophy ("I vote for the man, not the party" is an admission that they don't know diddly about what separates W from Gore, for instance), it takes something dramatic such as this to get them off their duffs.

First I want to thank you for your words of encouragement in my battle against JBTs.

However, and a big however, I want you to remember the sacrifices of Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks amongst others. It tooks years of in your face confrontation for these injustices to be rectified. Yet in the end, they were rectified by a deliberate process of civil disobedience.

If we want to return our government to the constitutional republic that it was founded and intended to be ... we have to follow the example of those who WILL NOT go quietly into the night but will stand defiant to those who would otherwise enslave us. Being silent and compliant only serves to enbolden the would be tyrant and their lackys. We have seen at least two of these "use idiots" right here on this thread ... no names mentioned ... by me.
