Many of us talk...

Some of us do...

Those are my heroes. The "active" resisters, the ones putting it on the line for real.

Some names off the top of my head:

Mike New
Luke Rudowski
Ed and Elaine Brown

There are many others, some ruined financially, others are "political prisoners".

When the time comes I only hope to have their level courage.

Irwin Schiff and Burt Rutan put their money where their mouth is. Irwin Schiff didn't pay income taxes since 1973 then went on tv telling everyone he didn't and urging them not to pay the taxes.

Burt Rutan actually built his own space craft and sent a man to space. He also has unvieled another space craft which is spaceship 2 which he is going to fly this summer. He has 85,000 people signed up to fly to space in 2009. He could have simply just lobbied for Congress to end NASA but he did alot more than that.
