I cannot support trying to force a change of government outside of the normal electoral process - not unless the right to free elections is taken away.

If a group was to march on Washington with demands as radical as those you were proposing (that virtually all of the currently elected government resign and parts of the Constitution be repealed) then it is very likely that violence would result. The media would portray us all as Timothy McVeigh’s and would scare many of the very people that are starting to turn against Obama into believing that Obama’s government needed extraordinary powers to deal with us. Basically, we would be giving Obama his Reichstag fire incident - We would be handing him the rope with which to hang us.

Instead we need to be recruiting angry citizens to run for Congress and Senate against the incumbants in 2010. We need to throw massive amounts of money and time into ensuring that patriots replace all of the politicians who support Obama’s unconstitutional policies. But we must do this through the constitutional system. If we step outside the Constitution, I think that either Obama will win and set up a totalitarian state or if Obama loses we will enter a period of anarchy with French Revolution type chaos and bloodshed.

More then 440 comments and finally someone comes up with the best idea.

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.

Right, we still have free, FAIR elections with ACORN under investigation or indictment in 22 states after Obama stole the election.
