The Revolutionary War. A war between Great Britain and early American citizens. Why did our ancestors rise up against their home country? Because they opposed paying taxes they considered unfair, and because of laws that, in their opinion, were oppressive and improper.
Now imagine America in its infancy. No telephones. No internet. No evening news, no USA Today. The Pony Express, telegraph and railroads weren’t even in existence then. Basically all these people had going for them was word of mouth. Yet they somehow managed to form militias, and not only fight a war, but win their freedom from tyranny.
Now don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting we all go out, purchase guns and start shooting.
We have many more, very effective, tools than Colonial Americans had. Our version of ‘word of mouth’ is instantaneous. We don’t have to ride a horse for a day or more to let a couple of our ‘neighbors’ know what’s going on.
Most of America is disgusted with a government only concerned about making the richest citizens happy. They’re a perverted Robin Hood, robbing from the poor to make life easier for the millionaires and billionaires. They pass laws knowing the majority opposes them without batting an eyelash.
Why?
Because they can.
Because American’s have been content to sit back and do nothing for years. Oh, we’re great at complaining about what our elected officials do. We vow to vote for better candidates in the ‘next election.’ But the better candidates are no better than the ones we wanted to oust in the first place.
Why?
Because the new ones know they, too, can do whatever they want for a term or two.
They know they’re safe. They can lie to get elected and there is no one they have to answer to. They know citizens will just sit around whining and complaining until it’s time to vote again.
Colonial American’s were willing to give their lives to obtain their freedom from excessive and unfair government control. They worked harder than we can ever imagine to organize an army strong enough to win. And yet modern American’s just sit back and take it.
It’s well past time that we start a revolution of our own.
How do we do that? We organize. We stop depending on a few people to fix the government and start doing our part to fix it, too.
It’s only by coming together with a common goal, forcing elected officials to work for the majority instead of their special pets, that the United States will return to the great nation it once was.
But that’s only going to happen if we stop waiting until the next election.
If, within six months, our government representatives don’t start fulfilling the promises they made to get elected, citizens must start the recall process. Quickly. For all of the politicians who don’t keep their word.
Let’s face it. If the common man lied to get a job like those in the government do, they’d be fired the instant their employers discovered it. But presidents, governors, senators, and the rest think they’re exempt from consequences for their lies.
Isn’t it time to stand up and show them that they’re wrong? Haven’t they pushed us too far yet? How many more citizens have to lose their jobs, their homes, their lives because all the government cares about is making the rich richer and ensuring their future security?
It only took a few to start the American Revolution and it snowballed into the historical war we all read about in history class.
That’s all it would take now. Just a few, and spread the word through modern means.
We need an ‘army’ willing to stand up to our arrogant politicians and take America back.
We can do it peacefully, with no bloodshed. If we care about our country as much as colonial Americans did.
What will it take to get you involved? How much more will you take before you stand up and say, 'Enough is enough?'
