US CODE: Title 18,2385. Advocating overthrow of Government
Many people don't recognize US codes that override DoI and Constitutional rights of free speech. You can't imprison all of us.

When congress is permitted to redistrict on a whim and maintain an over 90% re-election rate, what makes you think we actually vote in our representatives?

Not through violence but through protests and huge numbers of people peacefull revolting. Similar to the velvet revolution perhaps. Or similar to the strategy MLK had in the civil rights movement.

It is not a black and white choice of voting or armed revolt. There are many different ways it could be brought about. I am not against an armed revolution either though.

The USA was founded on the principle that and armed revolt SHOULD happen if the Gov. gets too corrupt. But in recent years we have been brainwashed into thinking that makes a person a "terrorist" to think that way.
The only way something like this would really work, is if at the very least.....the same number of American "Tea Partiers" marched into WA DC like they did a couple months ago....but this time.......
STAY PUT and don't go ANYWHERE until their actions are dutifully noted by the entire govt. we presently have.
So, if plopping in DC by the millions......and indefinitely so.....IS what it might take......there hopefully, would be a lot of bands playing and it could then, turn into a "PO'ed American Woodstock" all around the nations capitol!

Nope, don't recognize it. Fortunately, the government is ill equipped with their burdensome deficit to wage any sort of commando operation on civis.

While you may not "recognize" Federal Law and CFR's, you have to abide by and live with them regardless.

The US government is very, very, very corrupt and is doing lots of things that harm the American people. If you do not understand why, then i'm not going to take the time to explain how.

And i'm not even talking about a violent armed revolution necessarrily. I'm just talking about a major change in government.
It's called denial. Americans refuse to believe their own Government is working against them and for the corporations. In the case of New Jersey their government is working for organized crime.

So regardless of the naive posters calling anyone, who hates what our Government has become, right wing militants, the truth is our leaders are no longer working for America.
