America faces a serious problem |
|
Congress can impeach Presidents People in Congress can be pressured to resign
But, what are people to do when Corruption, Bigotry, and Greed runs rampant in all three branches of government?

12. Ring! Let Freedom Ring! Not Reign! |
|
The fascists changed the wording us. "Reign" is what kings and monarchs do - as in regent or regency.
Don't let them change the discourse on us - ever!
Ok your point is well taken!
Let Freedom Ring!

2. Try to take their government back... submit to fascist rule... or leave |
|
My wife and I are hoping for the first, but making contingency plans for the third.
The 2nd alternative is abhorrent to us. Unfortunately, we both suspect there are a great many Americans only too willing to live under the boot heel.

5. I know it sounds extreme but massive tax revolt by 50% of the population |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 03:32 PM by stellanoir
should do it. Under the Boston Tea Party's credo of "taxation without representation," and with the most curious election results and BBV's we have great cause.
It would take a massive grassroots effort. They simply can't imprison half of us. Am speaking with lawyers specializing in constituional law currently.
Time will tell.

11. We've lost our checks and balances. |
|
When you play a game by the rules and the opposition cheats, you will lose. This is what has happened to our checks and balances.
