2. General Strike
Direct action that actually slows down the productive machinery that sustains the economic well-being of powerful people.

It would take some planning though.

And by the way I happen to think leaving the country is cowardice.

3. He won;t seize power -- he'll be handed power (if it happens)
That is an important thing to remember when thinking "resistance".

5. I think that if somehow * is elected
that he will be impeached within the first year. They are managing to keep everything under wraps for the next days, but afterwards it will all come out I think and people will be outraged. And once the announcement of a draft is made, it will be over for him IMHO. No republican up for re-election is the next four years will want to have that albatrose hanging around his neck.

7. Simply stop spending money
As much as you can. Money is Fascist Food, you can starve these scumbags pretty easily.

Remember, after 9/11, the big message from our overlords was to spend, spend, spend.

11. Like This
No Fast Food
No Sit Down Restaurants
No Movies
No New Clothes
No CDs
No DVDs
No Smoking
No Drinking
Make everything last as long as you possibly can

There are a lot of us that DO have disposable income, some of us with money do have a conscience and a heart. I mean, Liberals ARE better educated than the morans, so quite a few of us have some major buckage...........
