Can you imagine the thoughts of a soldier, when confronted with an army, of 40 million people?

I agree with you. But, how? Do we grab our guns and pitch forks and march on Washington? Do we not vote (the last election was rigged anyway). Do we write nasty letters to our senators and congressmen?
It is the corporations that now own our sorry arses.
I'm open to suggestions.

To expand on my original post I have added this:
In order to effectivly and efficentally restore our country's future, a revolution is neccessary. Our government has continously failed its people and intentionally disregarded our best interests. When will we realize that although the best solution is a peacefull one, our cries are falling upon deaf ears. I will be the first to admit that the Revolution will not be easy nor without bloodshed.

It is really not a good idea to say anything that could possibly be construed as a threat against the life of our Commander and Chief. Really, whether it is vague, a joke, whatever. It is really NOT a smart idea. The secret service follows up on even the most ridiculous of internet jokes or insinuations that imply any sort of threat.
The best of us probably already have an FBI file and don't care, but you are 22, maybe one day you will want a job where it does matter.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...
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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Section. 8.

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
Section. 10.
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Section. 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
