I have thought about what you have written, and now I have questions.
How would I, as one citizen, do something to move the government? Could I see a lawyer and file suit against the government? So much of what they do is illegal. Obama flaunts the laws that have been passed - can I sue him for that? A judge would probably laugh at my attorney, and just dismiss the case out of hand.
Obama took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and follow the law - he hasn't. That should be an impeachable offense, but Congress is with him, by not acting they show their tacit approval. Boehner 'talked' about suing Obama, that's like my talking to the wind and telling it to stop blowing.
What can one person do?
I have thought about what you have written, and no... (

The first thing a single person must do is pray to God for guidance and reassurance. For me, God is the power that inspires me to speak and act to support the Constitution. Know that in the days of our founding even up to this day, Congress has prayed.
Remember however prayer not said by the heart and in full emotion is an empty prayer. This type of prayer is like what St. Paul said, "Faith without works is dead.", this saying also says, "God helps those who help themselves." We need works.
Now the best way to get started is by persuading your friends and family to re-examine the Constitution and the Bible. In the past few days, a friend of mine and myself have started with Genesis and are working to Revelations by hearing the Bible read. There are many websites that you can download the Bible for free in audio version. This is how the bible was intended to be passed on anyways.
Now, you don't have to be a devout Churchgoer or a religious zealot or a Christian nut case, to hear and be inspired by the Word of God. You can be inspired by the Word of God through the failures of history. Take for example, the Israelite people, a most stubborn people. They cling to God during times of calamity and turmoil, yet in good times they turn away from God. They become Fat and Lazy so to speak. This is what I believe happened to the United States.
It is true that the Bible speaks against the rich man, however, God's Word also speaks for the rich man, when we read, "If you keep my commandments, your prosperity shall increase."
Now this is religious terminology written a book called Proverbs. It would not be a proverb if it only applied to faith. Wisdom dictates that people before us have had to handle situations of this nature before. Knowing this would it not be prudent to see the successes and mistakes they made? This is what our founding fathers did when they created the Constitution. They looked at Israel. From the freedom of slavery by Moses, until the people cried out for a King, the people of Israel lived in the world's first democracy. This democracy worked! The people were united in faith, which encouraged the brotherhood of man to work together willingly.
Other ancient societies like Rome before the empire, and Athens and Sparta, Ephesians, and Corinth, practiced Democracy. And in every case there were reasons why Democracy failed one of the reasons was factions. However the main reason Democracy fails is because of human Greed and the Lust for power as was seen with Ceasar. We are not a lynch mob of people, we are a Republic with Democratic tendencies. Or better put a Democratic Republic.
By making the people subject to the written law, Democracy flourishes. By ignoring the written law, well just ask Israel what happens.
Now since the stubborn people of this nation are the ones we elected, we must convince the public of their crimes. We have to get the word out. Obama is the leader of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States, so whatever happens on his watch is his fault and God is watching. God grants every human being time to change and steer away from their wicked and evil ways to find Him. However, there is a tolerance level that will kindle the Anger of God. There is acts of wickedness that will also kindle the Anger of God.
The ransom of sin, can be solved one of two ways, but ultimately God is the final Judge. If Obama seeks forgiveness God will grant him forgiveness, but charge him with repairing the damage he caused. This is only just with a just God. However, if in his hardness of heart, he refuses and exercises stubbornness against God, the Anger of the Lord shall fall upon him and incidentally, not only will he pay but the ones he leads will also pay for this wickedness.
At this point God will look for a worthy person, to overthrow him. God will call him out and make him stand before Obama and destroy him. This is way one.
The other way is the people rise up in one voice and demand him to either change and come back to earth out of his wickedness, or resign.
Now I'm kinda going backwards with this but if you follow it from the end to the beginning you will see how it is done.
For the people's anger to be kindled against Obama, a great percentage of the people must act. Samuel Adams, and Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson took their resources and influence to convince the people to stand together by logical citing the reasons for separation.
That is what we must do, we must not forget the mistakes of Obama and charge Obama, like Nixon was charged. Make Congress we are not going to bury this. Take to the streets and hold an honorable demonstration, that is peaceful.
If it is an honorable demonstration, and a peaceful one, and if the police, or national guard, are brought in under the excuse to control the crowd, then the tyranny is exposed. Lyndon Johnston had to face that in the 60s. Violence is not needed. The threat of violence however may be needed. It depends upon how stubborn our elected officials are.
Take this in consideration: there are 100 senators, and there are 435 Representatives in the Legislative Branch. There are I think 13 Justices on the supreme court and of the President's cabinet there are about 10 or 13, I can't remember the exact number, but it is below 50. Now if I take 100+435+13+50(say the max) this equals, 535 Legislature, 13 Justice, 50 Executives, or a total of 598 members of the Government. How many people are their in the population of the United States?
So it stands to reason that the Government is outnumbered by the people. Yes, we can sue the government for not doing their job it is part of the Bill of Rights in the redress of grievances. However, this right is used to gain money and not gain true change. We need change not money. For if true change is done, then the prosperity will reap more money if the money was not accepted.
Now we can refuse to pay taxes but if an individual does he is punished but if everyone does the law changes. So therefore, it is true that one person does not have enough power to overthrow the tyrant. But there is an old saying in Government, the "squeaky wheel gets the oil", the longer we speak out against this tyranny in peaceful protest, the quicker change will come. But the first step is to speak out and have a redress of Grievances to start the process. We need backing. We need backing of the media, of our friends, neighbors, employers, workers, we need backing.
If the government sees one man on a march to the white house, there will be no change. But Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., went to Washington with a crowd of thousands. John and Robert Kennedy listened and acted.
This is what we need. We are not raising a leader up to become a martyr, however depending upon the stubbornness of the president, that may happen. Be prepared for that. Make sure that whosoever becomes our leader in this cause, is replaceable by another who can take his place should anything happen to the chosen leader.
At this point the Government cannot stop us. They, just like us, don't know what to do in this crisis. There is a right way, a wrong way and an apathetic way of solving this crisis. Obama has done it the wrong way and we, the people need to hold him responsible.
Do not be discouraged because it will be a rocky road but exercise diligence and belief in the cause. I wish Anonymous, would jump on this band wagon and join us, because most of them know how to get the information out and can be a thorn in the side of the Government.
I hope corporations, that see the evil that president Obama is doing, come to their senses and join our cause. At this point, when we come to the point of no return, words of Benjamin Franklin will come back to haunt us, "We will either (re)start this nation, or we will be hanged as traitors."
Sorry Ben, we would not be considered traitors because we are fighting against a traitor. But we may be hanged for trumped up illegal reasons anyway. But if you are like me, a patriot and God-fearing man, you cannot just sit by and watch this wickedness continue. You must pray and speak. Talk your head off. Use and abuse the first amendment until Obama is so tired of hearing about it he resigns.
If the situations merits acts of extremism, as in the civil rights fight, use this weapon as a last resort. Provide the least amount of casualties possible. We do not want to destroy the man, we want to remove him from office. But if the situation merits an act of violence, I recommend taking over by force a media outlet station and using off grid power and speaking until their armies haul you away. The longer you speak on this subject, the more people will listen. Hold no one hostage and harm no one. The point is not violence. Show that Arvy guy that supposedly helped Obama get into office and was his mentor, that violence solves nothing. Make sure it is a peaceful exercise of our first amendment rights we just needed the equipment to be broadcast to the people. This would not be considered an act of terrorism nor would it be considered a revolutionary act against the Government, especially when the people learn we are protected the Constitution not destroying it.
I prefer however using the internet to voice my concerns. From the luxury of my computer I can voice my concerns and hopefully it would go viral for all to see. Just on this site alone, I am finding that people are like me and have the same concerns. We do not want our country to fall because of Obamas. We will not let this happen. That is why I continue to speak. And the beauty of the internet is if I get shunned or kicked off of one site I can go to another. Facebook and twitter have not done that to me yet but it may come. I don't care, for what is right is right and I'm am not going to let 200 years of freedom be destroyed by an idiot in the white house.
Make my words go viral. Let it be known. I am charging the President of the United States with Serious offenses and I will not let up. And the most scary part of the whole ordeal is I am not alone, but I think I am the most peaceful speaker. For I will not raise arms against the country I love, when I am trying to persuade them. But I will raise up arms against terrorists, foreign or domestic.
We are Americans. And in a sense we are a family, we do care for each other, look at the aftermath of 911, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the Alamo, and Gettysburg if you need examples. We may fight amongst ourselves but when it comes down to it, it is because we care. We care for one another. We support, 'Love Thy Neighbor' so I ask my Neighbor 'speak out' make your concerns known. and realize there are many among us that believe in the same thing.
The art of Persuasion not the Gun is needed here. I would be the first to condemn the man, who uses violence to persuade our elected officials. Yes stop the money, and the votes by all means but do not harm the American Citizen!
Look at the Christian Slater movie, "Pump Up the Volume" and watch how Christian Slater convinces the Young to speak up! That is what I am doing you you all today. Speak up. Be responsible and speak up. Do not be rude, do not be crude. Condemn what is wrong and speak up! That is what we all must do. On an intellectual and common level speak up!
Follow the example of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. minister of Christ. Speak up. Dr. King never showed violence toward the white man. And Dr. King fought for all people, not only for the black man. He was a Child and student of Christ! He spoke up and protested peacefully. Using his example, this is what we must do.
If we are sucessful, we will show, the government and the world five things. 1. that terrorism is not the way to bring about change. Violence is never the answer. 2. that the people have the power in these United States. 3. That a government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. 4. that it is healthy for a country founded with God given principles, need the people to speak out against them to ensure justice, freedom and liberty to all. And 5. that America is not full of infidels and greedy money grubbing men, seeking to destroy nations overseas!'
So you ask me, "What am I to do?", I say pray, speak, persuade, and be diligent. This will not happen overnight but if enough of us speak, then we will be heard. Dr.King was given a deaf ear from the government for years until he stood on the capitol steps that day in 1962. And it took 20 years after his death, until true change came. Be diligent, and persevere, May the Grace and Peace of Our Lord Jesus be with you in these trying times and Comfort you during the frustration of this cause. Thank you.
