1st of all, I doubt you sent a “bulk message” to Gillibrand, so that response from her office is crap.
(Unless you cc’d 50 people on your note.)
As to your question, I believe the issue would get a ton of traction with the media. The MSM is no longer mainstream. It is fringe, and struggling financially.
I wasn’t suggesting you contact Katie Couric, Andrea Mitchell, or the usual suspects. I do suggest you contact Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, Malkin, Ingraham, Bennett, and any local talk radio person you can think of. SPAM them with your story...and I bet they listen better than your Senator does. Good luck, and am rooting for you, and will be watching your progress!
I am visiting her local office where I work on Monday.
That sounds like a Libertarian stance, and I agree in principle, but I would like to clarify. Pardon my curiosity, but on your page it says you've never voted for a DemocRat. But, does that mean that you have voted for a Republican? Or does it mean you just didn't vote? Call me Pandora, but sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me.
Actually it’s a quote from Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience.

“No Marine will ever fire on an American citizen at the order of Obama.”
Get real. The Marines recruit from inner cities including illegal aliens and known gang bangers. They even have recruiting posters in Spanish. Do you really think someone from Mexico gives a rats ass about a White gringo??
Real Marines care. And I’d be very careful about bashing the Corps on FR.
“And I’d be very careful about bashing the Corps on FR.”
Do they are do they not have recruiting posters in Spanish, recruit known gang bangers and have had reports of illegal aliens? If that is bashing then that is for the Marines to fix, but we had best not stick our heads in the sand and claim there is no way any Marine would ever follow orders to fire on Americans. There are Marines who may not have such loyalties.
At this point I would think that they are still a minority.
A future congress does not have to repeal this disaster. It can simply pass new laws to whittle it down, or pass another larger law to make this fraud null and void. Especially since they plan to make it take effect after 2012! That gives us all plenty of time to keep working on this thing!
And you still believe that we will be able to vote them out? Ok.
**Civilians in the U.S. have 200 million - 300 million firearms. The Founding Fathers knew the wisdom of providing for a free, armed populace.**
I may upset a lot of people on here but against a well trained military those firearms might as well be slingshots.
As far as I know in Iraq and Afghanistan the enemy has been unable to overwhelm any US units company size or larger. Right now the enemy is better supplied and experienced in working in their units than the average American gun owner. Success for insurgencies pretty much depends on their abilities to win battles and capture better equipment. Because of firepower and better equipment the American forces can do battle with forces that outnumber them ten to one and always come out the victors.
I am sure if things got bad we would get a lot of current military coming over to our side but would we get key people and units? For example if Texas succeeded tomorrow and the Texas National Guard showed up at Fort Hood to take it over they would be a hollow force because other than small arms ammo they wouldn’t have anything to fight with. It is all on the active duty posts and a Fort Sumter today could call in a B-52 attack on their attackers. Key supply and tactical units if in the control of Obama people will ensure their victory.
1776 and 1861 was eras when it took months before the government would move against the rebels. The idea that the federal government would sit around for about a year or so while state governments take over arms depots, train and supply milita and while active duty officers resign to return to fight for their native states is not reasonable.
The next civil war will be Buck and Bubba and their deer rifles vs unmanned predator drones carrying missiles. Bubba might bring down a bighorn sheep at a record distance but his rifle isn’t going to stop some of these up armored vehicles now in the field.
As far as I know the average Freeper don’t have anything that can take down an Apache attack helicopter. In that case knowledge is more important than ammo. Perhaps some patriot used to be a mechanic on the Apache and know that some special bearings has to be replaced every 100 hours of flight. Another patriot learning this information knows the factory where those bearings are made. Maybe it would be an idea target for a force of guerrillas to attack the factory or more likely the patriot might know another patriot who works in the factory and can damage the machinery covertly and put the factory out of business for months resulting in grounding most of the Apaches.
We are dealing with people like William Ayers and friends which I believe can be ruthless in control of our government. We can’t outfight the government so we will have to out think them until we are able to out fight them.

I wonder, just for arguement mind you, what the blades on an apache are made out of, or the tail rotor for that matter,or the tail rotor gear box, or the skin, or perhaps the transmission. The turbines?The fuel lines?
Pray tell.

apologies for the hiccup
You know it’s pretty bad when we have to start thinking about mounting something like a Barrett .50 cal to an alt/az mount, day/night optics, and optical tracking software to protect ourselves FROM OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.
And I just pulled that off my head. If you think it’s gotten THAT bad, better start thinking about:
Kevlar
Frequency-hopping, encrypted communications
Night vision
Advanced development like the example above
And goodness knows what else.
Wouldn't be a bad start, lol.
However, I was thinking more along the lines of what part of an apache specifically stops a regular 2600fps .30 cal projectile, and what part let's it go through on through.
Merely curious, you see.
Well if you think you are good enough of a shot to take out an Apache more power to you.
I do have over 850 hours in hueys 'though.
I am so p*ssed about this.
Emails consistently to Landrieu, Lincoln, Ben Nelson, Webb, McConnell AND ALL FOR WHAT??? NOTHING.
THEY’RE NOT LISTENING.
IF WE DO ANYTHING THAT “THREATENS” THE LITTLE KENYAN LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE, HE WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW AND THEN THE KILLING STARTS.
So what do we do and not get arrested?
I’ve said it before. Someone will have to die to wake Americans up. Who’s it going to be?
