I suppose you have the sedition statutes at hand. Care to cite a Title?

Nope, sure don't. But I'll try looking them up tomorrow afternoon when I get back to work.

But, according to the Merriam Webster Online Collegiate dictionary (certainly not enforceable in court! ;), sedition is defined as:

Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin sedition-, seditio, literally, separation, from se- apart + ition-, itio act of going, from ire to go -- more at SECEDE, ISSUE
Date: 14th century
: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

Then, under the Thesauraus part, it has:

Entry Word: sedition
Function: noun
Text: an offense against official ruling authority (as a government or sovereign) to which one owes allegiance (considered the defense industry strike to be overt sedition)
Synonyms seditiousness, treason
Related Word alienation, disaffection, estrangement; action, protest, strike; coup, coup d'etat, putsch; insurrection, mutiny, rebellion, revolt, revolution, uprising; quislingism
Contrasted Words allegiance, fealty, fidelity, loyalty; duty, respect, responsibility

From what I recall of these laws, and this definition, then inciting others to rise against government, be it city, state or federal, would likely fall under sedition laws.

Perhaps my interpretation of the implication of that statement was wrong. The person who wrote the statement can best clarify their stance. What do you see as the implied meaning? What point do you think the writer was trying to make?

We, the people, ARE govt. The elected officials have been going beyond their Constitutionally designated boundaries for some time. So, we can charge them with sedition?

"...insurrection against lawfull authority."

Please define "lawfull".The real crux of the debate about sedition lies here.
