I’ve long thought that it was going to take a peaceful cleaning house to get this country back on the right track!

It needs to be done, and history shows that it can’t be done through a third-party candidate. In order to achieve success, all the independent parties must come together under one banner.

I hope any new Constitutional government would include term limits for all members of the House and Senate. Our presidents are limited to two 4-year terms, and our representatives should likewise be limited to two terms.

I don’t believe we’ll see another free election. ......

Totally agree. Even if we have “elections”, Acorn is now funded by billions of Taxpayer dollars.

All future elections are guaranteed to be fraudulent.

"Absolutely. Waving fake pitchforks sends the message, but waving fake guns just gets folks killed."

There are a few folks who think we need to break laws like the Code Pink folks do to be effective. NOT SO! All we need to do is be present in large numbers, peaceful, and law abiding!

The members of Congress and the government are well aware of what is going on. Remember there is only one thing they think about, and that is being reelected. We need to serve notice on them that they may very well be gone in 2010!

All we need do is continue to be involved and educate others to what is happening to our freedoms at the hands of those in power. More and more of our fellow Americans are learning the truth and that number is growing daily!

BE IN WASHINGTON, DC FROM 9/11 - 9/13 IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN! DON'T MISS OUR NATIONAL FREE REPUBLIC TEA PARTY CONVENTION!

A lot of people assume that there are going to be more than one of these marches, but I have to say, getting from here to DC is going to be a huge ordeal. I will drop everything and go, but not until I know it’s The March. I can’t afford to traipse back and forth for the sake of giving a corrupt administration warnings that will go unheeded.

“people are more worried about their jobs (or lack of one) or being cut down in hours and paying bills TO DRIVE AND PROTEST/MARCH.”

They may not be aware but avoiding the fight to keep their job isn’t going to help them with their job in the long run.

The left is counting on all of you to whine and be defeatist and stay home, once again.

What good is a job when most of what you earn WILL BE STOLEN from you?

Stop being marshmallows and wake up to the fact that they really are going to make a slave out of you.

At least open your eyes enough to see how much harder your children are going to have it because of what these people are doing.

The left is working overtime to put that fear and apathy in your gut, FReepers. Fight it!

Use your heads and look at what they are doing.

Forget the devestating paradigm shift that will occur once they enact socialized medicine and consider for just a moment what your new ‘medical care’ will be like.

You won’t get to pick you insurance plan (unless you are filthy rich). It’s one size ‘fits’ all.

Want a second opinion? Better start kissin’ *ss and filling out the paperwork.

Want an experienced pediatrition for your children? You’ll get whatever the government gives you.

Need an expensive cancer treatment, and fast? Sign your name and we’ll call you when there is availability in weeks, or months.

Are you a senior citizen with aggresive cancer? Best of luck to you sir/ma’am. You are too old to justify the more expensive treatments. “There, there, it’s been a good long life for you. We need the money for younger people who can work and pay taxes—it’s for the common good.”

Emergency rooms full of illegals and Americans begging for good care.

Again, YOU WILL GET WHAT THEY GIVE YOU AND THAT’S ALL.

So, that’s medicine under the thumb of the left. What about running a business?

You need to have your accountant and lawyer on speed dial, hire several new employees just to handle the government paperwork, cross your fingers that you don’t miss something that the government will fine you heavily for, or shut you down for, and basically live, and work, in fear.

If you screw up their procedurs, they’re going to swat you—they want to swat you because they’ll need the money DESPERATELY. They will be actively, tenaciously monitoring and tracking your every move.

And don’t forget, they have state-of-the-art technology nowadays to get the job done—you cannot hide.

I’m in the tech industry and I can tell you that you have only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of government technology run amuck—there’s scary stuff just over the horizon.

This will open the door to every other possible attack on your freedom, yes YOU!

You, the individual reading this, YOU will be the target.

Lastly, you need to know that the ‘What’s the use.’, ‘It won’t change anything’, ‘I don’t want to be ridiculed.’ type feelings were put there by the left.

You help them when you give in to these awful feelings—you might as well support 0bama.

Get off this forum go to DU/KOS and support what they’re doing.

Because tuning-out, backing away, or otherwise surrendering to this enemy is going to cost us all DEARLY.

Mark my words. If we don’t fight right now, they will get what they want and you WILL NEVER get the opportunity to resist again, not peacefully, anyway.

I know it’s been months of this crap but we have to dig down and find the fight.

Let’s fight these people, FReepers.

Grassroots conservative participation in the local elections built organizations that grew to elect state and federal candidates. It takes patience and is not as glamorous and entertaining as bantering about a revolt, but it is truly the effective and Constituional way.

I firmly believe this is the only way.

Having Hillary fill the House and Senate is my idea of Hell.

Jim, I have been a fan for years, and had been making plans to go to Washington, but I can't be a party to this sort of party. I understand the reasons for someone to feel this way but this posting by itself is just begging for us all to rightly be put on the very watch list that we said was so evil.

They may not follow the rules but the way of it is to take back the government legally by elections and then prosecute all who break the law. No other path is moral or acceptable. You are advocating the rabble take control and that is the last step before the TYRANT takes control in reality.

We need the Constitution to protect us and guide us back, we cannot afford to put it aside and pay outside of the dots just because they are.

Don't continue to nurse this fantasy, or perhaps instead of a million people there will only be a few thousand, and we will have lost our voices.

Mcveigh was the nut who bombed the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma city. The media was able to use him to discredit the peacefull militia movement. My fear is that if we try a massive march with a demand for the resignation of virtually everyone in the government that violence will result and Obama and the media will be able to use it to discredit us and the conservative movement in the same way that McVeigh was used to discredit the militia movement.

“The Secretary of State shall immediately assume the office of interim Chief Executive.”

I fail to see how installing Hillary Clinton as President would assist this endeavor in any way...

Why would this be beneficial?

Block all entrances to the Senate , block traffic , caus eserious civil unrest . That’s just for openers

I heard this before, we all drive a clunker, take off the tag and park it in the middle of the street and walk off. DC would be shut down for days, weeks?

Oh yeah, go to 50 on with holding and watch them squirm. Just don't spend the money because eventually they are going to get it....

Setting the constitution aside?

Hardly.

I’m just proposing we roll back the damage done to liberty and freedom by the progressive era and RESTORE our constitutionas our founders established and intended.

Restore our state sovereignty.

Restore our constitutional limits on government.

Roll back the socialist New Deal.

Roll back the socialist Great Society.

Eliminate Jimmuh Carter’s socialist meddling.

End the police state!

End the Nanny state!

End the welfare state!

Restore Life, Liberty, Equality and Justice for ALL as our Founders intended and our fighting men and women have fought and died to affirm, secure and defend ever since!!

Socialism is slavery!

“Well, Julia, this is the mission of Free Republic. “

I thought FR was about defending our laws and our traditions of freedom and individual responsibility, observing and commenting on media bias, and sharing a patriotic perspective on current events. I never saw advocacy of radical actions in FR’s masthead before.

Well ... you say: “We the People of America choose to exercise our right to throw off and alter the abusive government by peacefully recalling and removing from office the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States and all U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives effective immediately.”

... AHEM. “WE THE PEOPLE” had an election with over 120 million people participating. Last November. I’m sorry that the worst President in our lifetimes was picked, but he was. Legally, lawfully and democratically. Reality. Obama WILL be President until 2012. Now unless you can get 120 million people to sign up for your revolution, you’ve got no basis to talk about these usurpations, etc. THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT!

“Constitutional restoration has long been our primary mission on Free Republic.”

Really. How do you ‘restore’ the Constitution by abolishing duly passed Constitutional amendments, calling to replace a President and members of Congress outside of an election, who, according to the Constitution are not up for re-election until 2012 and 2010. You cannot defend or restore the Constitution while proposing actions that go against it!

How realistic to advocate such extreme actions, when 95% of those who AGREE with you on the facts, will INSTANTLY DISAVOW the actions taken. (And replacing Obama with Hillary as interim President, please!) And they WONT go along with undoing it; me and 98% of patriotic Americans will prefer the slings and arrows of 4 years under Obama to the risks and dangers of revolution or secession - which will NOT happen.

So why even propose something that will only give the left fodder to give you the Alinsky treatment of “isolation”. Now, everyone who had anything to do with you will be called on by the leftists to agree or disavow your unwise course of action. Why did you give the left the tools to hurt you?

If you want to obey the Constitution, then OBEY THE CONSTITUTION. Advocating ANY form of irregularity, revolution, deposing the govt through extra-ordinary or extra-legal action is AGAINST the Constitution and the laws.

Follow your own creed.

The American people will not allow the tyranny of bad leftwing liberal policies to stand via peaceful, lawful activism and the ballot box. It will be overturned ONLY by tossing out in elections those who do wrong. And with 64 million who swallowed Obama’s koolaid, you (we) have a lot of educating to do.

It’s one thing to fight the very wrong Obama agenda. It’s quite another to advocate a divisive and extreme action like this. One that will NOT happen and will only put the target on YOU as an anti-Government extremist.

Conservatives know that radical overthrow of existing insitutions is fraught with danger. If people who think its nuts to advocate overthrow of the Government dont belong on FR, let the rest of us know. You can turn FR into an obscure fringe extremist site if that’s your wish.

As the Beatles put it:
“When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out”
