Another way is to educate the masses. Another way is to refuse to accept what we are being fed 24/7. The POTUS whoever it is holding the office only has so much power. Just about everything Ron Paul wants would never pass the Senate or the House. The status quo is too vital to maintain to the "elite". It is only we the people that can fix this mess.

That sounds great, but how do you propose we educate the masses. How should we refuse to obey the current laws. Are you talking of mass revolt? It's not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

I prefer to go directly to the head of the monster, decapitate it, through the voting process, and replace it with a better thinking head. One that has the power to initiate change. I'm not saying if Ron Paul is elected, he's going to spend an afternoon in the oval office striking down the existing laws. We know it won't be that way. But, he will strike a few laws that will have a domino effect in bringing out much needed change.

jmoho....
