Time for Civil Disobedience
formosa | 12/07/09 | Rebecca Wilson

Posted on 12/07/2009 5:46:35 AM PST by formosa

This is for discussion and ideas of what to do about impending coersed healthcare (cap and trade can be added as well). We must co-ordinate with other organizations and websites to take actions necessary to kill this bill.

The News does not report the publics contempt for all the many dictatorial and life altering sections of this bill. As a matter of fact, not much of the public actually know what is in this beast. But we do know the vast majority of the public do not want it.

Some of my ideas are contacting The Chamber of Commerces across the country, the Small Business Association along with many web sites to create a strategy. Marches and phone calls don't seem to working. Also contacting doctors for the plan would work very strongly to our advantage as well.

We basically need to shut down as much of the country as possible (with the exceptions of emergency rooms). We either pay a small price now, or a much higher price later. The small businesses in this country will not last through the healthcare debacle, and then add cap and trade that may possibly be enforced through the EPA and we will see unemployment numbers like we have never seen before.

I've never attempted to organize anything like this and would love to have your suggustions and advice on how to make it happen.

Until we find courage/anger to do more, continue the local tea party events, faxing and calling your representatives and discussing the issues with family, friends and neighbors. It's working as the MSM derogatory comments have shown.

I don't agree. It would bring into focus just how firm and united Conservatives are in their opposition to the plans of our present leadership. Any Conservative ‘politician’ worth the name, would NOT want to be seen as standing outside that kind of national expression... He/She would find (and not have to look too hard for it) common ground with that kind of movement.

I am not saying people ought to just arbitrarily march in the streets (like a bunch of hippie malcontents) with some unspecified and fuzzy grievance about what is going on. I AM saying that any such demonstration should be definite in its message and marchers unified in their sentiment.

I think that is what the Tea Party protests are already.
Perhaps you really just want additional events.

This would be a single, NATIONWIDE, one day...”HEY, MSM TRY TO IGNORE ME NOW” event. I should add, a single event but-lasting as long as it takes for the present ‘President’ to respond PERSONALLY

We can do something or let them kill us.

We still have time but it is fleeing rapidly.

The term,”Do or die.” will soon, actually it does now, have a literal meaning.

We hold not only our but our children’s future in our hands.

What will we do? I believe that I know the answer but.....

>>If you bring a gun to a fight someone is likely to be shot.<<

And if you don’t and the other guy does, you’ll be dead! For now, I will civilly disobey ANY order from Versailles on the Potomac that requires me to fund murder and child molestation. I have already told my wife that I will quit my job, rather than pay for abortion.

If it gets worse, then I’ll rethink civil disobedience.

Maybe there is a way that we can form an interconnection of the different tea parties and come up with some fliers to hand out to the public regarding certain points in the health care bill that are not being discussed and point out what the implications are. I’d be happy to do the research and create the flier.

We can also include cap and trade. It’s what we aren’t hearing that makes me the angriest and I believe it will drum up a great deal of discontent among the general public once it gets out there. I’d be more than willing to foot the cost of printing up the flyers for the Virginia Tidewater area.

If anyone is interested please contact me.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Everytime Reid or Polosi opens their mouths it makes me think of those villians. The rhetoric is almost the same.

I couldn’t agree with you more. This health care bill gives them control of our lives with access to all of our records. It would be very easy to find out your associations and take us out one by one as we fall ill.
I suppose that is why they have death panels in the govt. hands instead of a doctor’s.

All I can think of is I can’t allow this to be my children’s future. If we don’t take action now and do something, the only legacy we will leave to our children will be slavery and death.

Maybe and maybe the current congress will be replaced in November with a more conservative one. I hope so but I think the odds are that events will preclude this from happening.

Sooner or later a line is going to be drawn and many of us will have a gut wrenching decision to make. When it comes to that, like minded individuals need to be well organized. We need to do so in the open and in the face of those who would attempt make serfs and peasants of a people from a courageous and freedom loving linage.

“event”

you will get your event but I don’t think we will have anything to do with the cause of it.

Hopefully we’ll see a little back bone on both sides of the isle in the Senate to block this.
