For now it is the only viable option. But it takes more commitment than simply showing up at Tea-parties. We must deprive the looters of the fruit of our labor. Starve the beast.
No, there is another, a very long shot. If Obama is not qualified to be president (by natural birth) the bill he signs will not be law; if we can make a big enough stink with it. If it is passed, the majority of people will likely object (after their taxes are raised) and they realize they don’t have to wait two more years to correct it, IT CAN BE FIXED NOW.
Obviously, Congress will not go along with it. The ploy (with public pressure) will then be - OK, we will accept your word, if you (Democratic Party) certify he is qualified and prove it by writing a certification process into law (and that he signs) - that a political party is required to certify that their candidates, present and future, meet all requirements for office, under penalties of decertification (and loss of tax exempt status for donors).
That would be an interesting debate, especially since no one appears to be responsible (or own up to their responsibilities) for checking candidates meeting constitutional requirements
In offline life (as opposed to what decorum I must practice in JimRob's cyber parlor) I tell people plainly that if you are not starving the beast, you are enabling it. You are part of the problem if you are paying taxes. Yes, if you just refuse, you can go to jail. Yes, it entails hardship and sacrifice.
But winter at Valley Forge it is not.
You say you love your country? You say it's being destroyed before your very eyes? But you won't even put away your wallet?
This country was forged by men who committed their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor. It will take similar commitments to save it.
So yes, at the very least, starve the beast, and if you are NOT starving the beast, you are supporting it while it devours what you claim to love.
The ONLY answer is a blockade of D.C. by millions. I am talking about people abandoning cars, trucks, stopping shipping via highways, pitching tents and making a city of our own right in front of the Capitol. Do it when they are in session. Bum rush D.C. while Congress is in session with 20,000 cars and just get out and march to the steps. There is no way they could assemble even 200 tow trucks in time back and forth to do anything about it.
The D.C. police force is big enough to circle the Capitol itself. The White House is protected by Secret Service, FBI, and the Marines. We are not advocating violence...we are shutting down business period. Until we get resignations, until we have bills tossed out, until we have people literally thrown out of their offices...we don’t leave.
We co-ordinate nationally...first wave is 20,000 people...2nd day...reserves of another 20,000 people...3rd day...50,000 people...4th day 100,000 people 5th day 250,000 people....6th day 500,000 people...7th day 1 million people.
I am talking shut down I-95 and surrounding highways. Come loaded with food and necessities to last you minimum a week. Unless Obama orders the National Guard to tear gas American citizens, taze them, arrest them, or shoot them...everything will stand still. All D.C. business will shut down and there is nothing they can do about it.
The ONLY answer is a non-violent blockade. Spread this word big enough around the nation and it will happen.
