Answer 1

first steps....get petitions going

arrange protests

pass out flyers w the stone cold facts

educate as many people as possible and ask people pass the word

yes!!!! we HAVE to get mad...people spend too much time turning the other cheek....yes!!!! we will have to march the streets...we will have to stick together as a people

strikes are only successful when everyone is part of it..in this case it will not b EVERY one but u need enough people to make a voice loud enough to be heard...people need to know they have a support system and r not in this alone

hopefully it doesnt have to b violent...but by all means defend urself

it would b imposible to boycott taxation but people NEED to boycott SOMETHING .....gas is a good one but not likely....maybe start w something small like certain gas companies..i have boycotted exxon/mobil and texaco and have been successful in doing so since i was old enough to buy gas...boycott pharmecutical drugs..that would make a HUGE impact...i have...i only do natural remedies..what mother earth put here for us

things will ALWAYS get worse before it gets better..this is why it hasnt been done thus far...but as i said WE AS A PEOPLE need to stick TOGETHER...and stick it out

and i absolutely will join u...will u join me =)

and yes..strictly theoretical

u didnt answer my good questions

and w a question like this im a bit surprised =(

theres some dynamite links that are full w information people NEED to hear...not just listen to but hear

excellent question..im not even supposed to b fucn off on the computer...supposed to b gettin ready to dip..but i checked my email and couldnt resist

star 4 u!!!

Answer 2

You say you want a revolution? Well you know, we all want to change the world.

Answer 3

It is your right to peaceably assemble - or it was until Bush got into office.  

The smartest thing Nixon ever did was the end the military draft.  Now the right wing can start all the wars it wants and nobody notices.  Since our kids don't have to go off to fight if they don't want - who cares?  And who cares what it costs and who cares how many people we kill in foreign countries in illegal wars???

In Vietnam days, all us lads were under a sentence of death every day - THAT got us into the street and that made us question the Big Republican Lie.  

This time, support Obama and never let an ugly, horrid republican lie get by without making mention of it.

Answer 4

First the issue of use of the part in The Constitution with reference to the right for the people to dissolve The Gov if it becomes tyrannica. The thing is the power may not be in the hands of The Gov but in that of Corporations. These rely on The Gov though. So first people would determine what rights the Gov attacked. Then set up news papers informing people of what went on. Expose The Gov. Ask that a new one be formed. If The Gov refuses and accuses people of being disloyal and attacks them then Revolution. Essential to have a number of militias at least based on the Revolutionary ideas of The American Revolution  Liberty, Justice, Equality. That sort of thing. Trainers for these militias are required. Right now there looks to be shortage of such as the best ones are in the army and the others belong to different types of militias than which people may have in mind.

Answer 5

You have to have an issue important enough to inspire people to make a change. So far in this country we've had ,slavery, civil rights, and our separation from England. I think the next would have to come from our civil liberties being taken away.

Answer 6

There is strength in numbers. If we could get enough of these drones to wake up and see the truth we may get somewhere!

I WILL JOIN YOU!

Answer 7

Not on this farm . The cattle have food and thats all they care about . The masses are idiots

Answer 8

All that minus making things worse. Look up the Russian Revolution.

Yes, I shall be joining you in this =3

Answer 9

Basically get everyone to revolt against whatever you dislike or want to protest about.  Like the Women's Movement.  They're a revolution because most of the women (not all), went out, burnt their bras and protested constantly against men, fighting for women's rights.  

Or Martin Lurthur King is a Revolution because he started the movement of rights for black people, and to tbe treated fairly, like a white man.  Just look a couple of these and get a few ideas to start your revolution!  Good luck to you!  

Wish people would listen to be enough and take me seriously enough to follow in my footsteps :(

Answer 10

Check with Fidel

Answer 11

h**l NO!! But i will watch it on TV!

Answer 12

For what?

Answer 13

Read "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein. It is an excellent and thorough textbook for organizing a revolution.

Answer 14

Jefferson believed in frequent revolutions but they would be few and fall in between.

America is actually a very stable country. This isn't Italy, where we change leaders every couple years. Use that energy to get your friends and family to vote for new leadership in Nov.

So, no.

Answer 15

But remember the most valuable assets are the more logical minded people.  Sure, numbers are good, but emotional statements can only get you so far.  Being clear, concise, logical, and by avoiding calling people stupid morons or drones, you can pull the more intellectual folk.

Once you have them, then the 'less intellectual' folk are more likely to follow if they were on the fence.  People like to listen to smart people, and so it would be a good idea to get smart people on your side.

But you don't have to get mad.  In fact, getting mad leads to the Dark Side, which Yoda tells us is bad.

Marching in the streets is good, but you need numbers if you want to make a show.  If you can't clog up several city blocks, you're not trying hard enough.

Boycotting taxation doesn't do much, except land you in jail for boycotting taxation.  Now, if that's what you're fighting against, sure, but otherwise, it just gives a reason for the powers at be to watch you carefully.

Nothing ever has to be violent and bitter.  In fact, it's better if you retain the high moral ground and not engage in violence.  It makes people feel better and more likely to join you when they see your rights being oppressed.

Yes, it could just end up making things worse.  If you p**s off the general public, and get them against you, then they'll follow what you're fighting against and we'll have less middle ground folk to rely on.

First you need to say for what, and then I'll make a choice.  As of now, no.

Answer 16

I am already part of a revolution.  It has been coined the Ron Paul Revolution but never was just about Ron Paul, it is about freedom and protecting our civil liberties and unalienable rights.

This is a peaceful revolution with great momentum.

Answer 17

Move!

Answer 18

We are having a revolution and it is called the Ron Paul Revolution that will exist far past this election. The goal of the movement is to change the political landscape by spreading the message of freedom and this is done with Ron Paul running for President.

We have had 30 Ron Paul Republicans running for Congress and six out of eight have won their primaries so far.
