(2,679 posts)I am sure most of us want to say what they know needs to happen. But because we live in a civil society and we know we are being watched we don't dare say it.
So, until we have no options left before that actually happens, there are some things we should be doing, while we still have rights.
Civil Disobedience. Protest, protest and protest. Sit ins. Like Occupy Wall Street, but occupy every STREET and just sit.
Do not give the government any money. It does not represent you. We should not fund it. Sure the House of Representatives is supposed to use our money for the greater good of the country. They are not doing that. All they do is vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And that's the current House. Come Jan 20, they won't have the office of the President to veto what they want. And the incoming House doesn't just want to get rid of the ACA, they want to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. And that's just for starters.
I don't know about you, but I refuse to fund that. It's our money and they are NOT using it for the greater good.
Since the white people in charge only understand money well let's break it down for them in terms they understand.
1. This is not a normal year. We should not have a normal Christmas. Don't celebrate Christmas or the Holidays like normal. Don't put up lights. Don't buy a tree. If you must get a small one or if you have a small one already for decoration, just use that. Don't buy gifts, except for kids. If you must buy gifts, don't buy from places that support republicans or their ideas.
2. Don't spend money on anything other then what you need to function. This is not the same as boycotting Christmas. It must start two weeks ago and continue until our voice is heard.
3. Take out all your money from the bank. If you can move it over seas. Our banks can not survive a massive run on cash. It will create issues. Maybe they pay attention to what we asked.
4. Do NOT pay taxes. On your paychecks change the with holding so no taxes are being taken out. And if most of the country refuses to pay federal taxes on April 15, well that might get the House's attention. Don't pay state taxes if you live in a red state.
5. Protest! March! Strike! Right now!
There is a number 6, but I don't want the SS knocking on my door. Besides if we the people stop making this normal and not go along with the ruling class to do as we are ordered and accept something the majority of us voted against, we could maybe just maybe stop this peacefully.
I hope everyday we start to wake up and come together to stop this madness. Most of this country doesn't want this. And 99% of the world is against it.
I don't want to become the evil empire.
