“Maybe my proposal is not the answer”

Know the constraints first and then you can optimize based on alternatives. Can you at least agree on a few basic constraints:
1. We live in a democratic Republic, and therefore success in implementing any policy requires winning hearts and minds.
2. If we support the Constitution and rule of law, then we will not doing anything that goes outside either.
3. Conclusion: Whatever the goals, the methods used to reach them will be peaceful and democratic processes, that will work in supporting a majority pro-freedom coalition majority.

“it’s going to require something much greater than business as usual.”

What if we learned from the Left and adopted their tactics and methods? Within the above constraints, there are MANY ‘not business as usual’ actions. Melting the phone lines, like was done on immigration bill, was one example.

More powerful would be a massive protest.

One million people in Washington DC on 9/12, who stage a protest and then do a SIT-IN at Congress and SHUT IT DOWN via Civil Disobedient actions and peaceful obstruction of Congressional activities, and a peaceful protest outside the White House - the largest since Vietnam War .... THAT would make a difference.

Far less was needed to shut down HillaryCare.

I agree...we need 10 million people in DC...that should be the goal or MORE!!!

Let’s see them arrest 10 million people.

Let’s let Barney Frank, et al see what they have created...a completely split country...those that do against those that thing they should have...
