Reply #133: Not for just speaking out, BUT

[Kansas Wyatt]

If you were to join protests, riots, and/or any other disobedience that violated the law... You may find yourself in jail for more than a few days, terminated from your job for getting thrown in jail, unable to find employment since you now have a criminal record, can't meet the car payment, can't meet the mortgage payment, so you end up losing everything and become homeless. Not hard to see where this is going to lead, especially for people who have worked for their whole lives for their position, property, and standing in the community. Don't be so disappointed when others fear joining you.

You may say all you want, but you will never change anything, because the government can and will take everything from you. It has also been known to jail people and convict people in the Corporate Media, even though they were innocent all along. The Government has the right and power to do anything it wants in the name of National Security, and you can only take your "blasting" as far as they will let you.

You are allowed to pick a political party and make your voice heard, Democratic, Republican, or even a 3rd Party, but beware that the government is watching some of the fringe groups, because you are only allowed to take your protest so far. Heck, they might even infiltrate a group, incite them into doing things against the law, and crack down on them to make an example to the people. Your only recourse is to vote for the representatives you want, and they can change things for you. However, do not be surprised to find that even the ones you thought represented you, will vote against what you want or ignore what you want all together. Oh well, better luck next time, as time marches on. But know this, your representative 'is working very hard on the concerns that you have voiced.' Starting to see how this game is played?

Maybe you would be better off taking your argument through the courts and all the way to the SCOTUS, but they don't have to hear your case if they don't want to. See how nice this racket is set up? The Government has all the power and the people have none, but you keep voting for the candidates who will represent your interests, rather than Corporate America and the Wealthy Elite. Oh, and when you finally get the right candidate voted in, keep your fingers crossed that there really is a majority just like him or her, in both Chambers of Congress. Move along, and don't listen to all the conspiracy theories on corruption and who your representatives are really representing... Don't you dare break the rules, because you can lose everything.
