I understand that and read the wording just fine, lol...just saying the higher estimate is still irrefutable- and certainly more shocking..

Well, I guess I just officially outed myself. Boorah!
Good idea Adam, we need to keep the momentum and increase the pressure. November the 5th 2007 indeed started something special because until we restore our Constitutional Republic it will be used as a rallying call.
I was thinking we could use this date (or another in the future, anniversary of Boston Tea Party, Constitution Day, or some other day significant to the cause of liberty) to protest in all 50 state capitals + DC.
The Meetup groups would be key to coordinating efforts like this, they are an invaluable asset to organize and assemble and should not be disregarded with the end of the presidential race.
We could try to organize key note speakers in as many capitals as we could. MN could perhaps get Ventura. Our message would be simple: obey the Constitution and restore the Republic.. or ELSE. Of course we want to get our points across and show how serious we are about it, at the same not sounding too extreme as to discredit ourselves and the message.
Bottom line: It would be a phenomenal show of force if we could organize using the meetups and other methods in all 50 states + DC to protest the lack of respect for the Constitution in the state capitals simultaneously with famous speakers speaking in as many different cities as possible all on one day. I think it could be done and it would be huge.. Any thoughts?

How about instead of having a specific cause to donate to, there can be some sort of counter that people can enter the amount they donated to their favorite charity in lieu of taxes?

HAHA Kinda of like jumping out of a plane and not being sure your parachute will open. It's kind of spine tingling and scary all at once.

.39 seconds into it and I was bored.
Give me a few to make sense of them and I'll post my notes from the call.
Kind of out of the box but...any way we could burn an effigy of Paulson on the front steps of the Treasury at the Nov. 5th march? It's an act of civil disobedience that would certainly garner some attention since it's almost never done. Kinda like the old revolutionaries did with King George effigies back in Boston circa 1775.

OOH! An effigy! Heck yeah! (Of course, as the likely permit holder for this event, "There will be no such activity!") Let's move this discussion to the new section.

Shit, before I posted that, I didn't realize the thread was already in the new section! "Who am I? What am I doing here?"
But seriously, now that we have a vision with lots of moving part, let's start discussions in new threads to keep things focused and productive.

Concept and overall timeline
This will be a non partisan effort that encompasses Constitutionalists, Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, and the disenfranchised voters as well. Slaves have no political affiliation. We stand together as slaves.
Our goal should be broader appeal. Seven percent of the American people agree with the bailout according to recent polls. The other ninety three percent should be the ones we try to reach.
We must keep the CFL separate from any tax resistance movement that we undertake.
Reference was made to sending out the armbands in respect to V for Vendetta masks being sent out, possibility of sending out armbands or wristbands to large amounts of people suggested.
It was suggested that once this movement gains its own momentum it will be uncontrollable and that we should not attempt to control it.
Role of the website and online promotion
Contact Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura, bloggers, any news sources, everyone you can think of. Push the concept on existing forums.
Looking into the possibility of hosting various PDFs on Slaveuprising.com for the sake of letter writing campaigns, access to literature, etc.
A separate forum for the slave uprising website is necessary.
The question of products being offered by Slaveuprising.com was presented. The general consensus was the free market will provide.
This should be organized as a centralized idea with complete grassroots control. Multiple websites should be created for broader appeal for example, Patriotuprising.com has been suggested.
The white wristband and armband are the central theme to everything we are doing. If you don't like Slaveuprising.com, if you think it is too over the top, still promote the white wristband and armband idea. Hopefully, you will have another website to promote instead of Slaveuprising.com.
Launch day activities - including rally, march, delivering of letters
A video must be made as soon as possible with Adam Kokesh calling on all Americans to join our cause and to don the white armband/wristband on November 5th and march peacefully on their state capitols in protest.
Everything else that was suggested will be up for debate here on the forums. Let's get together and figure out how we are going to do this.
Other means of promotion
Aravoth!!!

thinking positive
Thanks for the post, Avaroth.
I noticed a lot of people here feel abandoned when RP proposed the C4L, leaving the responsibility on us. Let's look at it this way-the classical libertarian ideal is decentralized authority (such as the internet). Now that we are all free to explore concepts of liberty, the movement can grow exponentially, and we will set fires in the minds of those seeking freedom from tyranny.
Just trying to be positive about recent happenings. Hope this helps somehow!
