"I’d say the Declaration of Independence might be a good starting point to search for ideas."

The first part of the Declaration of Independence goes into much detail listing their grievances.

The last papragraph of the Declaration of Independence goes into detail about what specifically they were going to do about it. It is quoted herein:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

I hear a lot of listing of grievances here on FR but not too much about the specifics of what we're going to do about it.

So do you want to absolve yourself from allegiance to the current government and establish a new independent state? That is the bottom line of what the Declaration of Independence is about. That's what they were going to do and that's what they did. Are we ready to do the same?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

One of the radio talkers was saying something interesting the other day, that the young/millenials are becoming more conservative. That would do it, and I figure that is our only chance to save America. All us old broken down Freepers are just going to be shot down when we bow up at the Feds. Or shipped off to a prison somewhere. What I can't figure, is how on earth the young even know about America because their schools sure as hell mostly do not teach it.
