i'm convinced that our only chance of turning this mess of a country around IS some sort of revolt. we're going to have to gather en masse and march on DC and not leave until things change.

sounds drastic, but that's our only shot. the establishment won't let ron paul or anyone like him ever touch the white house. this 'ron paul revolution' is just the beginning, his campaign is just the start. we need to keep ron in the mix as long as possible, and whenever his campaign comes to an end, its up to us to decide if we want to take it to the next level. we'll need to keep spreading the message, and keep opening eyes and pissing people off. and then we'll need to march. posting in message boards won't cut it. we'll need to be willing to sacrifce, and hit the streets.

The #1 principal I have ingrained into my mind because of Ron Paul is ... decentralization of power. It is what the Founding Fathers used... seperation of powers.

We can take their power without violence.

For instance... if we put together a website source that made it very easy and as cheap as possible for people to get their homes off the electricity grid... we would have a more stable society with our energy AND we will have DECENTRALIZED alot of power from the elites that they now have over us.

Maybe do the same thing with health care... dentralized organization of large numbers of people to move in force via the Internet to make the prices go down because of our large numbers... once again without the elites and therefore removing more of their power over us....

This movement could change things WITHOUT the centralized power of the White House... I sure wish we could get that on our side but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Words of wisdom! If Ron Paul doesn't get elected, we will basically not have a government in a Constitutional sense--as if that isn't true now--and we are no longer obligated to serve such a government. What then? We have a network of thousands of like-minded people that can take care of ourselves, as the above post points out. We can recipricate what the establishment and media has done to us...just ignore them.

A show of force (I don't mean violence) and numbers does, in fact, change things. In fact, that is how almost all major changes take place. MLK, Ghandi, the Vietnam War. There is nothing remotely unrealistic about having a large march in Washington.

I'm pretty certain that the Neocons are fixated on one thing and they don't care about protests. We can protest all we want but it's not going to do much and the media will ignore it or ridicule it. The last 20 years highlights that well.

This is why we must be patient. If we strike too soon we risk looking like lunatics, and in a way, FOX is right because people who act violently first never have a better course of action.

We must keep canvassing for Ron Paul.
Then, discredit the mass media.
Discredit the establishment.
Put fliers in library books, on public billboards, in bathrooms, on the internet, etc.
Call for major reform in Washington DC.
Fight the Orwellian bills and laws on the internet.
Make people painfully aware of the world.

If all else fails and these Neocons continue to perpetuate war, NAU and globalization, then we will have much of America on our side - much of the world, really - to form a way to pick up arms if it escalates to that.

The only way to start this is to inform.

I think everyone should plan on being at the RNC convention in St. Paul this year. It's pretty much in the center of the country and about equal traveling distance for everyone. Let us go there, unite, show solidarity, and have some meetings to decide where we go with the movement.

Lets make a vow to find and support Constitutionalists in every level of government from city councils all the way up to the Senate and beyond. We need to start running campaigns nationwide for people the way that Ron did years ago where he was getting tons of donations for his house seat runs from outside his district from people that agreed with his principles.

We really should start a Constitutionalist party and aggressively grow our ranks in positions of power nationwide so that they will no longer be able to ignore us. All the times that Ron was the sole dissenting voice in Congress he was easy to ignore because he was one of 400 and something. Let's work hard and put 50-100 more there with him over the next 6-10 years and make a legitimate third party from the ground up that can no longer be ignored.

We can do so much more by playing the game the way the Dems and Republicans do and getting people that hold the same views as us in power than we can by protesting in the streets because it's too easy to dismiss us as nutjobs when we scream and yell and chase down news anchors. We need our voice to be heard from the inside in state House and Senate chambers nationwide as well as in Washington. Lets pick up the flag and beat them at their own game. Become a delegate, run for statewide office, run for a House or Senate seat or support the campaigns of great people like Ron nationwide and help them to have the courage to run and get into power.

If we applied the same excitement and energy to organizing runs for Statewide and National level seats as we do to the Paul campaign we could become unstoppable within oyr lifetimes. Its too easy to be a defeatist. Get up, go out and change the establishment.

This movement doesn't end with this campaign. Plan for House and Senate runs in 2010, 2012, and so on NOW! Work hard and when the time comes lets get Ron to endorse our candidates the way we've been endorsing him. We need to show the establishment that the two party system is over with and that we intend to play their game and win.

Yes it would feel great to go out in the streets and scream, protest, and blow off steam but it will only erase everything that everyone for this campaign has worked so hard for and that is the message. We might lose this battle but we will not lose the war.

True revolt? Not sure what the thread starter meant by this, but we are far from using any sort of violence and civil disobedience in the Civil Rights form is a while away as well. Right now, large rallies and protests against the MSM would be perfect. Boycotting sponsors of this junk media is a task I'm definitely looking at taking up after this CNN debate (many others already have). If every one of us could get the same mindset at the same time, I can only imagine what great stuff could get done. Protesting locally just to get some coverage throughout the country is a great idea as well. If only we could organize this. A leader anyone?

That is why we need to organize on the national level. Lets get a new party rolling com plete with website, newsletters, etc. We can boycott the MSM and their advertisers the same way that the religious organizations do to the movie studios and such when they release things they find repulsive.

Have one site up where people can go to learn about boycotts, Constitutionalists running for seats nationwide and help support their campaigns. Have an E-newsletter with a $25 yearly membership and roll that money into supporting campaigns of Ron Paul supporters and Constitutionalists nationwide.

Will we wait until big brother rules all facets of our lives? Tyranny and oppression of the people by their governments' is nothing new.

The idea of a march on washington IS feasable and COULD be the spark for the Ron Paul rEVOLution needs. It is a fight for our constitution and the country I was indoctrinated to believe was free.

At some point we have to realize that most Americans don't care about being free. As long as they have their beer and televisions nothing will ever change for the better. How can we educate the population when the MSM does everything in its power to censor our ideas? Yes, we do have the Internet now and our ideas have gained a lot more attention, but I'm afraid that most people simple do not care. While its possible to educate those people who want to learn, the majority of our populace could care less.

Just imagine what could be done if all of the Ron Paul supporters migrated to a state for the purpose of controlling it politically.

I believe we should consider FSW (Free State Wyoming). Not only is the population low, the people are generally independent minded, and in 2000 not a single county voted for Gore. That gives a very good republican base to work on.

Take a look at Niobrara County for example, with a population of 2407. I bet as few as 500 people could control that whole county politically. All it would take is for every one of the new migrants to vote for their liberty minded candidate in the primaries. Seeing how primaries are generally low turnout, once you get your Republican candidate in the general election, you have about a perfect shot at that person winning the general election for that county because its about 80% Republican.

Wouldn't it feel great to at least live in a free county?! If at any future point, the federal government becomes more tyranical, you have hundreds of neighbors who could at least stand together.

How about at least a little liberty in our lifetimes?

It can be taxed / censored / controlled / regulated. Basically, it can be taken down in those ways alone. If you don't have enough money to pay the email or website tax, then you have to get off. If you don't have views that the government likes, you'll be kicked off under the guise of national security.

I am not kidding. We need to decide now where we will revolt. I will take my kids out of school and fly there whereever it may be.

The best, most effective revolt we can make right now is to give as much as we can to the Feb. 1st money bomb. This will enable the campaign to place more ads to counter act the poor msm coverage. I, personally, saw 3 Ron Paul ads during the CNN debate tonight. This is only possible because of the large amounts of money we're raising.

So go to www.ronpaul2008.com/donate this Friday, Feb 1st!!!

DONT REPLY TO THIS THREAD!!!

why? I think some are getting paranoid. I mean, I understand the paranoia, but nothing is really being planned. We have called the revolution a revolution for some time now. The only thing being planned is a rally.

If every one of us could get the same mindset at the same time, I can only imagine what great stuff could get done.

QFT

That is why we need to organize on the national level. Lets get a new party rolling com plete with website, newsletters, etc. We can boycott the MSM and their advertisers the same way that the religious organizations do to the movie studios and such when they release things they find repulsive.

Have one site up where people can go to learn about boycotts, Constitutionalists running for seats nationwide and help support their campaigns. Have an E-newsletter with a $25 yearly membership and roll that money into supporting campaigns of Ron Paul supporters and Constitutionalists nationwide.

There already is a national party that represents most of Ron Paul's ideology...it's called the Libertarian Party--www.lp.org . The infrastructure and membership are already in place. Statistically, the LP is the 3rd largest political party in the US. I think it would be a lot easier to mobilize and modify platforms within this party than try to gut an old line establishment party, like the GOP or Democratic. Just a thought.

Personally, I am structuring my personal life as far outside of the "system" as I can. How can we be anti big government if we continue to rely on government?

also, the internet is a double edged sword..use it to your advantage. Being so direct with a revolt will not do anything. DOnt you think they have contingency plans for this? counter act w/ original ideas and the house of cards will begin to fall.

Sorry! I tried to edit to change to protest and it went through, but it's still appearing the same and now I can't edit (not sure if there's a time limit).

I was just ticked and wrote that after cooper interupted him after the sandra day o'conner question. I'm not a troll, a normal person who shouldn't have written revolt and should have written 'march' or 'demonstration.'

That's all - mod can delete - this was not my intention to freak everyone out!!! Sorry!

Exactly, that's why I wish they'd give us a chance to opt out of Social Security. I can do a better job of taking care of myself than the government can. I don't want to pay National taxes for all the BS they tax us for either. I'll gladly pay state taxes for infrastructure, etc but why the hell am I giving the Federal Govt 20+% of my money? What are they giving me back in exchange?

I'll move to Wyoming with you guys.

DC Protest, not revolt.

You think yelling, at a distance, to the government's GUARDS will cause anything other than some riot police to CS gas you? A DC protest wouldn't change anything in our favor.

Hint: I'm not in Wyoming, but a rural area like it. When things get real bad--and they will--barring a Paul presidency, the cities and large populated areas will be hit the hardest. In more rural areas, people tend to barter, exchange work, watch each other's backs...harder for government to control that kind of lifestyle.

It is time we take over the Republican party! the Republican pary is in shambles and it is ours for the taking!
Ron Paul Republicans Unite!
We work from the inside out!
It is the right way!
I've been thinking about that ever since our local Ron Paul Meetup met up at the local GOP executive committee meeting. We were over 2/3rds of the people in the room, close to half actually! If each of us joined and became official members and started voting in our local group, we could take it over pretty easily unless each of the others recruited others to thwart us.

A guy from S. Florida contacted me a couple of weeks ago and said that's exactly what they are doing down south.

As to a revolt? If you are talking serious stuff.... well that's exactly what they want you to do. It will give them the reason they need to institute full scale martial law and they have a lot more and a lot bigger guns. You'll all be rounded up and placed in camps or worse.
