It isn't like TX and FL where the large population can withstand a little encroachment. With less than 2m people the change in ID would happen extremely quickly... Just a thought.

Your words ring true. But with me working x4 12 hour shifts, and him working x5 10 hour shifts, the truth is, political rallies, throwing up our fists in revolt is too tiring. Anyone can jump on Facebook and be a social media warrior. Throw your words to the chorus, and the people that need to hear it will block you. That goes no where. We're in a society right now where people only digest articles from "news" sources that that encourage their train of thought. There are very, very, VERY precious few people that will truly read and absorb both sides of the debate. I am not saying its not worth fighting for. I am simply saying that us, personally, are going to let the younger generation fight it out, and give advice as we can to the people that will listen.

Sadly I agree with you wholeheartedly. Most Americans are too comfortable and too complacent to see their liberty being stripped from them. They are too numb and in the under 50 crowd too indoctrinated to know what’s happening and how to fight it. I try not to be pessimistic but sometimes seeing how we are deteriorating so quickly it just happens. Its worth saving, I just do not know if it’s going to be possible unless more stay and more come in with like mind and cajones to offset and counteract this.
