“I am only a regular person that got tired of being afraid to follow his own conscience. For far too long I allowed others to direct my actions even when I knew that they were wrong....”

Individuals who step forward in this way can in turn spark many others. Why? Because the existing, customary leadership has created a vacuum of moral leadership. This government is extremely unpopular, but the mass sentiment against it awaits open and meaningful expression. How can this sentiment be uncorked? It depends upon the courage and determination of those who will step forward into this leadership gap and declare: "Follow me, follow my example, resist, wear orange and let's take on these murderers!"

The adversaries we face are extremely vulnerable because they are all-around bankrupt. They have no leg to stand on - no facts, no logic, and no moral reason to safeguard them from the people's righteous wrath.

Let future generations not ask what we were thinking, why we looked the other way, how we could have failed so ignominiously to act, when actions were desperately called for.

Let the winds blow. Let the waters rush forward. Let justice, so long delayed, be done.
