I don't have anything to do with this organization, although I am looking into it, and i don't know where I got this from. I got a couple of email today and somebody here may have provided the link. Anyway, look into it and see what you think.

Big Government is on a rampage. It is -- metaphorically
speaking -- raping and pillaging in all directions. In
just the past few years (and even months) it has . . .
* Imposed a giant and fraudulent new entitlement
program on top of an already teetering federal
health care scheme (the ************ drug
entitlement).
* Transgressed fundamental American protections of
due process (the Patriot Act and others).
* Undermined the future of our currency (through
hidden monetary inflation and massive deficit
spending).
* Gutted free elections (through campaign finance
laws and other incumbent protection schemes).
* Ravaged the First Amendment (through new censorship
laws, with more on the way).
* Launched a dangerous, unconstitutional war under
false pretenses and conducted that war in a manner
that tremendously endangered our troops while
failing to focus on the capture of the man
responsible for 9-11.
* Launched a program to invade and medicate our
childrens' minds for the sake of corporate welfare
for major pharmaceutical companies.
* Flouted the will of the people, trampled the
separation of powers between the federal and state
governments, and denied the sick and suffering badly
needed relief (the medical marijuana decision).
* Imposed a system of national personal identification
on the American people (REAL ID Act).
* Schemed to turn all Americans into informers on
their friends, family, and neighbors, under risk of
imprisonment (the Sennsenbrenner legislation).
* Given us legislation without representation, by
failing to read the laws it creates.
* Placed a virtual lien on the property of every
single American for the financial benefit of
wealthy developers (the Kelo decision).
Government is on a rampage, and it's going to get
worse before it gets better. BUT IT IS GOING TO GET
BETTER, because we are slowly but surely preparing a
rampage of our own. A rampage of the citizens against
their lawless government.
There are only 535 people in Congress, 9 on the
Supreme Court, and 1 in the White House. But there are
millions and millions of Americans who are growing
uneasy, fearful, and resentful of their rampaging
government. A backlash is brewing, and we aim to
channel, encourage, facilitate, and direct that
backlash.
* The day is coming when every portal into the halls
of government will be invaded and overrun by us.
* The day is coming when the small number of people
who are leading the government's rampage against us
will themselves be under siege.
* They have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Their
computers will be clogged, their phone lines jammed,
their desks piled high with the appeals of the
people. Their districts will be flooded with
advertisements exposing their crimes, and accusing
them by name as the culprits.
All of this is coming. Slowly, but relentlessly, and
certainly. The tools are being built, one by one. The
army is being raised, in ever growing numbers.
We are pondering and planning a response to the Kelo
(eminent domain) decision.
And we have a new programmer working to batter down
every new barrier Congress erects against us, and on
top of that, to add new tools to invade the halls of
government in new ways, and in every way.
Our army of people with Electronic Pitchforks is
growing every day; as is the intensity being directed
at Capitol Hill.
We are having an impact! New sponsors in Congress are
signing up to support Downsize DC-oriented bills.
Congress is beginning to respond to the "Read the Bills
Act" (RTBA) and getting anxious (there is more news
still to come in this area). And we are preparing our media
offensive, and other tactics to persuade and harass
the politicians mercilessly.
The DC Downsizer movement is already making its
presence felt, though we are small. And because we are
growing rapidly, it is easy to say and be confident,
that our lawless leaders haven't seen anything yet. We
are on the cusp of something, and now is the time to
push into new and uncharted territory. Please make
this journey with us.
The future can be better than the past, and the first
steps toward that better future come today and
tomorrow and next week and next month. We need your
support to take those steps.
