"It is Their Right, It is Their Duty, To Throw Off Such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Jefferson wrote that into the Declaration of Independence. He was describing what people should do if their government kept doing repeated actions that took away freedom; especially when that government made it clear that they were dloing it as part of a deliberate plan.

And the Declaration was voted unanimously into law, on July 4, 1776. And remains legally binding, just as any other laws passed then or since.

Overthrowing an oppressive government, isn't just a good idea. It's the LAW.

Only 3% did it in the past. Can we rouse that 3% today?

One of the difference's between then and now is back in the day those men were willing to sacrifice their wealth and security for freedom. Today, I don't see that much.

No, it is not the LAW. You are never going to be going to jail or have to pay a fine or even just get a warning for not overthrowing the government

When Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Tim Cook and the Waltons sign on I will pay attention, most don't view our government as oppressive except a few extremists.

Oh for god's sake the Declaration is a freaking declaration, it isn't a law and it certainly wasn't passed by any legislative body of the United States.

Anyway, how many of these threads are you going to start or is this just your way of procrastinating? Enough internet posting, grab your gun and storm the barricades why don't you? You've been yabbering about this for years its time to get on your commode and get on with your revolution don't you think?
