What do we do?

I have recieved emails from people that are concerned about the "state of our union." The biggest question is , what do we do? I think, we as citizens need to recognize that indiviual acts of violence and "marches" have done NO good to get the attention of our representatives. Second, the "art" of spin in the media seems to always silence those who have a legitimate arguement and/or evidence of wrong doing, i.e., you will hear a little "blurb" or nothing at all. The old saying, "knowledge is power" is key here. I say this in a rhetorical sense. The once free press/media is stifled with policy and control from regulators and owners. The more citizens come up with non-violent ways to get our voices heard, the more entrenched our laws against our citizens become. Think about it, Believe it or not, our "law makers" have actually created "free speech zones" at rallies and public meeting places. I'll wager MOST people do not know this. You are free to speak as long as you do it in a designated area away from your public officials and representatives. Hysterical huh? The question of "what do we do" poses an interesting new question in my mind. ARE people so used to getting things done for them that they do not understand what needs to be done with THEIR personal involvement? In essense, my point is simple, I'll use simple logic, remember the truth is painful sometimes. How MANY people will gather their freinds and family members, leave their homes and jobs, STOP paying taxes, stop paying the banks, the municipality fines and taxes etc., etc. and create a "snowball effect" of the same? Of course NOT!! People are sooo AFRAID of arrests, a sense of normality taken, and most of all, INVOLEMENT! It's just easier to ask someone else to "take care" of their end of the business at hand! How many people do you know that would contribute? I'll wager that most will "belittle" you out of fear with rhetoric like, "that's crazy!", "we can't do that.", and of course religious beliefs(as an excuse)come into play etc. etc... Yet these would be the VERY SAME people that sit around and bitch about why things are so messed up!! Hypocracy in action!! So, in closing, the answer is simple. WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER, we as individuals are afraid of being looked at as RADICAL even if you whole-heartedly believe in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and law! REMEMBER, you are "CONDITIONED" to follow or be persecuted if you try to LEAD! So, let me ask you, WHAT DO WE DO?? Again, I never claim to have all the answers, I do however believe in simple logic. REMEMBER what John Adams said,"THOSE WHO TRADE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY, HAVE NEITHER!" What are your RIGHTS? Thanks for reading. :)

  1. Unfortunately I don't think people will wake up to reality and what is really going on around them until we have a crisis on our hands. People will finally wake up once American buckles under the enormous weight of it's national debt and the government it has been taken out to support. Once this happens people will wake up and what people like u, me and others who I'm sure read this blog have to do is be there to promote reason and to show people the real reasons behind the crisis. We will need to be ready with the answers because eventually people have to stop listening to the crap that's put out by the mainstream media, once their lives have been effected enough they will take the time to really learn about what is going on. Until then people that are in the know need to band together and hopefully try and avoid this crisis but if all else fails we need to be ready to show people the way.
