Save the USA

We the people who live in the USA need to start writing our elected officials and let them know what we want. Talk radio and forums are fine but often are just an outlet to complain and share ideas. To really make any kind of difference we need to contact our representatives. Whether or not they act upon what we want is another story.
In addition, we all need to stay current with all new proposed federal and local bills and legislation. If anyone has links to where we can see new bills and legislation, please post.
We just need to take 1 hour per week out of our lives to do this.
It does not matter if you are a liberal or a conservative. This is the only way we can save our country short of revolution. Please post your links and thoughts.

Open the Government.

However, it's becoming increasingly clear that the government doesn't listen anymore...You can write, write, write until your hands cramp...You can call, call, call until you lose your voice. If you get any answer at all, it's a "dodgy" answer that doesn't even address your questions or an answer that contains no substance for their commitment to the Oath of Office.

They're already assaulting peaceful protesters, they're starting to bring full, active military back onto US soil/using mercenary troops/over-equipping & over-training "ordinary" local law enforcement, concentration camps already built, media-blacklisting any truth so that only "alternative" sources of info are useful anymore...The list goes on & on.

The Bush regime has already centralized Totalitarian Power into the Executive Branch, gutting the very purpose for having separate Legislature & Judiciary Branches...Yeah, two-thirds of our government has been rendered powerless against an increasingly tyrannical Executive Branch. It no longer matters exactly who is in the White House anymore (even though it looks like Bush has no intention of leaving), because the power-structure is already set.

Source: Declaration of Independence (Preamble):

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The only peaceful thing left to us is massive civil disobedience. I'm not talking large armed mobs...Unless the mobs are attacked first. I'm talking about just simply standing up in large groups & saying "No, we won't support you anymore. We won't let you take our money anymore. We won't obey you anymore." This is the only thing that they can't ignore...The loss of the source of their power (the People themselves). Once they lose their source of financing & "willing" labor force, how long can they last?

The problem is that too many people are still asleep & still don't see that the government can't do anything without the consent & support of the very same People they rely on to maintain that power. There are still too few people who actually see the truth to make a significant difference...Yet. I just think that, by the time there's enough people really aware of the truth, the only thing left will be the part about "alter or abolish" via the 2nd Amendment.
