How about a recall on the Senators who folded? If nothing else, but to make their lives miserable.
Ya really think it’ll help.....I don’t.
As are most of FR. There was a thread earlier today about a "Million Gunowner March". Ted Nugent agreed to lead the way. Maybe we should start there. We have to protect the 2nd Amendment first, otherwise we have no way to defend the rest of the Bill of Rights.
And I predict that Hussein will be another Jimmy Carter...”one & done!”

And by all means, set up your tax withholding so that dot-gov gets as little as possible through the year. Don't let them use YOUR money interest-free. Drop it as low as you can without being penalized.
The left wants to sink the ship - lets help them.
The pro-lifers turn out by the hundreds of thousands in Washington every January. It isn’t even in the news.
Marches on Washington are as successful as the press wants them to be.
The Fairness Doctrine is where I want to make my stand. I feel that once they take our voice away, it’s over. I also feel that a one day march wouldn’t do it , it would have to be converging on Washington and refusing to go home.
I'm with you Hildy. But as Rush goes, he can not be seen as the driving force. It would jeapordize his "entertainment" status. Once the march is planned, and nearing it's date (and mentioned briefly before) is when Rush can give a great boost and get the call out louder than other sources that will also make the call.
The bottomline is Rush is on our side but he can't become an official sponsor, if you will, without creating some legal avenue for the Dems to call it a contribution in-kind. I know, I know, from Hollywood to academia to MSM, etc. they all are essentially in-kind contributions for the Left but you know the reality we deal with.
I am telling you though that I could honestly envision a 5 to 10 million person march that would dwarf anything DC has ever seen and it would cause more than just a few liberal heart attacks along the way, it would change the course of American history.
How about ten million? Twenty million?
Too many of us cannot get to Washington or can’t afford to go. Not strategically wise to all gather in the same rain barrel.
Monday morning July 6th.
Millions of gun owners fill the streets surrounding the nearest Federal office building or Courthouse. Concealed carry or empty holster, pitchfork or axe handle. All legal and a lot more visible. spokespersons and video bloggers at each location.
Should happen this year not next. 2010 will be too late.

A show of force would be nice..
Seems the marxists have a monopoly.
I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, but your energy might be better spent by organizing a grassroots effort to educate people about the media meltdown and what it has done to our country.
Count me in!
Washington is pretty in the Spring.
Ted Nugent is organizing a million gun owner march on DC for the spring of 2010. I plan to be there.
I can’t take credit for this idea but I think I am going to do it. Send an ordinary tea bag to arrive about April 15th. I sure wish there was a way to not pay taxes—they would hear that.
I think its a great idea for you to do it but I would be unable to join in as I have job commitments.
As Gary Lewis and the Playboys sang in 1965, “Count Me In.” I’m ready to march.
I am open to anything and everything. A march on Washington would be a good start in letting the elitist snobs know we are mad as hell.
Email radio talk show host and columnist Austin Hill (see www.townhall.com) and ask him if the Million Plunger March is going to take place.
I want to amend the title to the “Million Plunger and Ex-Lax March To Clean the Crap Out of Washington.”
Plungers UP!
