Here's my take on how to succeed in this Revolution:

Who controls the media? Big Business.
Who controls the government? Big Business.

In order to have a "Revolution" we need to let Big Business know that we as consumers are in control. We control what we buy, when we buy it, and how much we buy.

We need a boycott. Not just a boycott of specific sponsors, a boycott of the luxuries in life. We need to save money, stop overconsuming, and put our money in local community banks. No more money in the stock market or big banks. We need to base our Revolution around saving money and being frugal.

The recession we are seeing in our economy is based on people over-consuming. There's no savings anymore, it's all bought on credit. We need to get out from under our debt.

We need to show that this recession can be prolonged NOT because we don't have money to spend, but because we CHOOSE NOT TO BUY things that aren't necessary.

If there's one thing that Big Business listens to, it's their quarterly reports. It would need to be known that the recession would be prolonged due simply to a MASSIVE number of unified citizens saying "We aren't gonna take this anymore! You are here because of us!"

Calling sponsors and news stations is mainly seen as a scare tactic. We need this to be an organized, long-term effort.

Our nation has been corrupted by Big Business and the Banks for almost 100 years. If it's all about money, we need to band together in a much larger group than we currently have, and let them know that we are in control of the money.

The American revolution started the same way. It started with a boycott due to unjust taxes. We need to adopt the same principles and take back our country

We are heading into a new time. We need to be ready, and have foresight about the direction world events will take. Time will fly by like a dream in days, then hours, then minutes, as the old order crumbles.

You know banks currently are negative in their reserves? Requirements used to be 1%, now it's going negative.

So if everyone in America went to the bank to withdraw money the system would go Kaput.

You save, they just use your money to create new money.

Dave Ramsey has been the guru of living beneath one's means for years.

Hopefully he will come around to endorsing Ron Paul.

It's a piece of paper :)
Buy gold and then put it under your mattress.
