We did not choose this war which has been forced upon us by a minority of wealthy and powerful elitists who are determined to use our federal government to dominate the will of the people. We can choose to ignore this loss of freedom or we can determine to stop it and then set about restoring the freedoms which have been lost. Why not just continue attempting to change the existing federal government, hoping that its leaders will come to their senses and actually do the will of the people?

To begin with, you can forget about those letters to your congressmen and others who have been sleeping with the enemies of the people. They have already revealed where their true loyalties are, and  have passed numerous laws which enforce these loyalties and prove how little they regard the opinions and interests of the general public. Any meaningful change and reversal of the federal policies which have been instituted must be the result of a grassroots effort -- beginning with all of us working through our local city, county and state governments to dissolve the rebellious and dysfunctional federal government which refuses to do the will of the people who created and have sustained it. 

Let's first prepare and organize ourselves into a cohesive unit capable of assuming our proper role as guardians of this great nation, speaking with one voice and unified in our resolve to protect and promote the will of the people. Then as truly "united" states we can reassume the duties that we subordinated to a federal entity beginning in 1789, which eventually proved to be a misguided and too-easily-corrupted tool of a powerful and wealthy minority who insist on forcing their will upon us, hijacking our individual freedoms and holding us hostage to their economic policies.

Let's begin now to change our local and state policies from within in order to replace the existing federal entity with more capable, worthy and truly united states who are determined to do the will of the people they represent.

I am a writer/blogger who is interested in diplomatic solutions more than all other options, but who recognizes that proper governance must enforce the rule-of-law, especially when its neglect will result in civil war and anarchy. That being said, (more...)
