Don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

Unfortunately, you are in the minority.

Most Americans are too focused on getting their brackets right than care what is happening in DC.

Green Day was right for the wrong reasons.

Revolutions are used to replace a FORM of government with another form. So, what are you going to institute instead?

If you are just advocating violent removal from office of the current occupants, that's not a revolution. That's rebellion, or a coup.

It's like it says in the Declaration:

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government

I'm all for altering our system. Are you? Otherwise, you are just advocating anarchy.

If a crowd happens to gather in Washington and surround the white house.. I will join them

[Domandred]

I believe resetting to original intent counts as altering, abolishing, and instituting a new government because our current government is NOT the one outlined in the Constitution.

[FightThePower!]

I support a revolution.

[Retired Greyhound]

The current regime (and that includes Congress) does need replacing. But that will be a tall order, lest the military is willing to join our side.

A more manageable option is secession.

[GeronL]

If people haven’t revolted yet, they may never ever revolt.

[Huck]

What do you mean by resetting? What would you change?

[Ingtar]

It’s our political caste that is revolting; despicable scum to their core.

[kacres]

Did’nt a Rep.( I think King) say something about a “Velvet Revolution”. ( Don’t know if this would really work).Any way I’m just as frustrated as the everyone else... I had a crazy thought today, that I may be explaining to my children and grandchildren that once upon a time this country had a constitution that our Government went by. Of course it is the Once upon a time that scares me.

[ModelBreaker]

“Revolutions are used to replace a FORM of government with another form.”

Replacing our system with a government of limited powers would in fact be a change in the form of government.

[Huck]

I agree. The Constitution is a total failure when it comes to limited powers. That’s a proven fact. So, what shall we replace it with?

[GeronL]

Something very similar but with real limits, I would hope.

[Huck]

I don’t think you can have both.

[GeronL]

I think we can have individual freedom and limited government, I don’t think those are contradictory.

[Jane Long]

If a crowd happens to gather in Washington and surround the white house.. I will join them

Actor Jon Voight is asking all liberty loving Americans to meet up in DC this Saturday, at noon, on the steps of the Capitol.

[Huck]

We can have those things, but we can’t have limited government under anything similar to our Constitution.
