Not that I am aware of. Comparing then to now is like comparing apples to oranges. The Colonists had support from major powers such as France and Spain. Who would support modern revolutionaries? Not Europe or Russia?
Britain was also three months voyage by sea away from the fighting causing the Crown huge difficulty with communication and resupply with its forces. No such troubles exist for Washington today.
As I said, revolution would not last long and would result in the complete extinguishing of freedom in America. We have no choice but to work within the system.

“We have no choice but to work within the system.”
And when that system is obviously suspect due to 4.5 BILLION tax dollars going to support vote fraud perpatrators like ACORN? How much good does working within THAT system do us?

The Colonists had support from major powers such as France and Spain. Not when it all started, not even before we declared our independence.
