Our Opportunity to Change History

We have a chance to shake up politics and government like never before. It doesn’t involve open anarchy or armed revolution. Simply that we get off our butts, sign up to vote, then drive over and write in Ron Paul for President. Is that too much of a commitment to make?

Read what the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence suffered for their participation in helping to form the United States and hang your head in shame by your unwillingness to take the simple steps to change our government and its policies.

Longshots can be overcome if enough people band together to force the changes. Here is one shining historical example of how the people rebelled and overturned entrenched, corrupted governments when the people have had ENOUGH and take actions to make changes through nonviolent resistance.

We have the opportunity these days to not have to resort to armed conflict or risking our life or liberty, by virtue of using the Internet and by simply voting. Check out this article;

“Mohandas K. Gandhi, a lawyer, was able to transform Indian politics. He did this through force of moral character and shrewd tactics that made every official response either “Damned if we do; damned if we don’t.” I was watching (the movie) Gandhi recently, as I do every year or two. It is inspirational to me. It tells the story of a man who could not possibly win the battles he chose to fight, but did anyway. He mobilized a huge nation without recourse to violence. That was his great legacy. There are many scenes in the movie that have long grabbed my imagination, but none so much as the one in which Gandhi is seated at a table with a British military official. The official asks rhetorically, “You don’t really expect us just to march out of India, do you?” Gandhi replies, “Yes, that is exactly what I expect you to do.” In 1947, they did. What has this to do with Ron Paul, who is running for President? At least this much: he also opposes violence, he also opposes empire, and he also believes in the long run that justice will prevail. So, he does what Gandhi did. He keeps telling the story of how a better society can be built, must be built, and will eventually be built when men reduce their commitment to violence as a way of shaping the world. This includes violence committed by the civil government. They called Gandhi the mahatma: the great self. Ron Paul is the mahatma of self-government.” …Ron Paul is convinced that self-government is the wave of the future. Empire isn’t. That was Gandhi’s message in 1915. It did not seem plausible back then. By 1947, it did. …The state keeps getting bigger in the visible affairs of this world. But a great decentralization is taking place: in education, on the Internet, and with technology generally. The wave of the future is not toward Fabianism and its legacy. Ron Paul’s campaign is proof of this. - Source

Here ‘We, The People’ can emulate Ghandi’s example by banding together to stand up to the controlled biased media, big government, controlling corporations and the corrupt political groups and their candidates.

‘We, the People’ can focus our intent, by writing in Ron Paul for President on every ballot. It takes no more effort than to enroll to vote, then drive, bicycle, walk, take a bus or cab, hitch a ride, swim, WHATEVER, just get yourself to a polling station and cast your ballot.

The polling numbers that show Ron Paul in single digits do not reflect those who have not voted recently, who have changed their party affiliation (many to Independent) and not yet voted, or the vast number of young people and savvy older people who realize we MUST make a concerted effort to effect serious changes in our government and it’s policies.

The party affiliation won’t matter if everyone simply writes in Ron Paul for President.
