December 2, 2009 - Along with more than half of the Amerikan people, I am fed up with the illegitimate Obama regime and Congress turning our nation into the bankrupt Socialist States of Amerika.

We are fed up with out of control government spending, pork barrel earmarks, bailouts, government-run health care, illegal immigration, cap and trade, trying enemy combatants in New York, failure to take strong action against terrorism and the list could go on and on.

The Tea Party movement is a good start, but it has not stopped Obama and Congress from destroying our country. My wife and I attended Tea Parties in Champaign, Charleston and the Washington, D.C., Tea Party.

These were good places to vent our anger, but they did nothing to stop Obama and Congress. They ridiculed us and called us anti-Amerikan troublemakers.

We must take the Tea Parties to the next level. We must shut down the repressive operations of the federal government!

Dr. Martin Luther King and our black friends taught us how during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.

The method is direct action, non-violent, civil disobedience. We have a civil right and a duty to protect our country from totalitarian socialism.

Following is the plan:

1) All the conservative patriotic groups must come together. There is strength in numbers.

2) This National Patriotic Coalition must draft a list of demands that Obama and Congress agree to follow. Keep it short and to the point. Get millions of signatures. Present the demands to Obama, Congress and the media. If Obama and Congress do not agree to follow our demands within 3 days, then do the following:

3) Schedule a march on Washington. The rules would be:

• a) No violence.
• b) No screaming at law enforcement.
• c) Participants do not leave any trash or deface anything.
• d) If arrested, go to jail without any resistance.
• e) If permits for the march cannot be obtained, go anyway. It’s time for civil disobedience.

4) The march would continue for 5 days with different marchers each day.

5) If we can get 100,000 people or more, to participate in each march and surround the White House and Capitol in a non-violent protest, the government will be shut down. They can’t put 100,000 people in jail.

Our liberty is at stake just as it was in 1776. If we wait for the elections of 2010 it will be too late. I am ready to go to Washington, are you?
