Reply #143: you seem to misunderstand a couple of things...

I'm calling for a Czechoslovakian style "Velvet Revolution" which is not about "taking up arms".

Far from it.

The Velvet Revolution led by Czechoslovakians Civil Reform leader, Havel occurred in mid November 1989 and finishing about 5 or 6 weeks later at the end of December 1989. It was a bloodless overthrow of an oppressive regime which refused to step down from power during Perestroika.

But please, don't misunderstand, I'm calling for Recall Elections

Sir, we have a government within a government, completely unaccountable to it's citizens, devising and implementing Foreign and Domestic policies in complete secrecy, with free and unfettered access to our national treasury, our personal information, in violation to the Constituion and operating with complete impunity.

That, Sir, means we are being ruled by a totalitarian regime.

Although, it's been understood by a significant number of people in this country at least since 2000, it is now abundantly apparent to a substantial majority of this nation's citizens, that our Official Leaders have not been operating under the laws of this land, and in total disregard to our nations laws and Constitution.

This has significant meaning. No one can pretend that it is otherwise, any longer. The time for the people to respond to this desperate and tragic state of affairs is upon us. If you are unable to see the significance and full meaning of recent events, then I suggest you give the matter a bit more thought and consideration.

Again... Let me be perfectly clear, I'm not calling to "take up arms".

I'm calling for a Special Recall Election .

That is a difference of significant distinction.

On the matter of the "save pacifica movement", that was a struggle to take back a national radio network, not radio programming. The purging of about 350 programmers alerted listeners subscribers that their network had been hijacked by marketers and corporatist with a plan to sell all five network stations along with about 250 affiliates scattered through-out the country at the time. These radio stations are fully funded by the listener subscribers. The board of directors had no inclination to uphold the Pacifica Mission and Statement of Purpose, which was chartered by the stations founder, pacifists Lew Hill, 50 years prior to those takeover events. For us, Pacifica's Mission Statement was very nearly as important as our nation's Constitution, and the 1948/49 United Nation's Charters and Treaties.

Although that was a major struggle, it certainly is small in scale as compared to the matter before us. However, many of the operating principles are similar, to a certain degree. But it would indeed be foolish to imply that the scale of import and magnitude is anything at all in the same ball park as the matter before us today.

Naysayers are ridiculing this notion, because the Constitution does not provide for Special Recall Elections.

What the Naysayers are failing to bear in mind, is that our Constitution is no longer in operation. No thanks to Herr Bushivick and the Washington Elite who enabled this travesty to occur in the first place.
