"Daddy, what's a election?"
Well, Janey, there are two kinds. Some are run by secret computers. The others are run by ordinary people. Here, allow me to illustrate...

I was just thinking, you need to start selling "We Do Not Consent" t-shirts because you're about to have a LOT of company. Maybe we can prevail upon SwampRat to design one?

:)

4. That is a fine idea
for someone who has time to operate it. That's not me. But if someone wants to run with it, the only suggestions I'd like considered are that it be not for profit and instead benefit vets. Vets For Peace already has my book posted for sale on their site. If this is for real, it seems to me perhaps they might even be able to help seed it.

5. All you need is someone to upload the design to CafePress
and to post a link from there to your site. But I hear you about time constraints. I'll ask Swampy -- who also has time constraints, lol.

Thanks for your work, Guv.

8. Guv wrote a GREAT pamphlet "We Do No Consent" -- because
he's usually a few giant steps ahead of everybody.

We need to help withdraw the consent of the (ill) governed and why not have human billboards?

I've been on a break but it looks like it's time to get back to work. Oh, and fuck BushCo.

9. Here's another idea
One person could start a huge trend with this one...just take your digital camera, or device with the same features, and record yourself saying WE DO NOT CONSENT...it could be quick, like two seconds, or you could do a rant of however long...we put this ever increasing collection of videos online, encouraging everyone to upload their own...powerful free speech with a tight and focused point...so many, in fact, that it becomes a predominant and recognized sentiment in the public.
