http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1959

THIS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT OF THE CORPORATIONS, BY THE CORPORATIONS AND FOR THE CORPORATIONS (HALIBURTON, BUSH OIL CO). THIS ALSO IS NOT A GOVERNMENT OF THE POLITICIANS, BY THE POLITICIANS AND FOR THE POLITICIANS, SERVING THE POLITICIANS FIRST AND PROTECTING THE PEOPLE LAST (S. 1959). THIS IS A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. WE *PAY* THE GOVERNMENT TO UPHOLD, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.

THEREFORE AS QUOTED IN OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BECOMES A THREAT TO "THE PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND HAPPINESS, IT IS THEIR (THE PEOPLE'S) RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT" (the government).

 Time to speak out, folks. Time to write our editors, our college newsletters, our activist organizations, post to blogs, dial in to radio talk shows, arrange speaker events...and quote the nationally-recognized attorneys above to influence public opinion leading to....the demand that the politicians above resign. And right away, too, and no kidding around about it!

We are their employers: They work for us, not the other way around!

They are clamping down on free speech and free thought for one obvious reason: They are scared! Scared of us! Scared of the light of truth exposing them for who they are!

So we are going to do just exactly what they are scared of: Take out our publicizing pens and trumpet it all over the nation, and the world, just what they have done by attempting to squelch not only free speech, but free thought itself; and by attempting to rush us to yet one more war with Iran based on lies. And we are going to trumpet all over the independent media and the Internet and College campuses  what they now must do: STEP DOWN!

GAME PLAN: Convince the independent media and get them behind this first. Enlist the help of college campuses nation-wide. Post to blogs and dial in to radio talk shows. Get grassroots organizations to endorse the calls for resignation.

 THEN, LAST OF ALL, the mainstream media will finally "Get it" and get behind it. The groundswell must happen independently, first!

Are politicians ignorant enough that they don't realize that free thought, let alone free speech, are musts where democracy is concerned? If they need that much of an education about the Constitution, they are not fit to serve.

The more likely scenario is that they know exactly what they are doing. In that case, perhaps they have a lot to hide.

Only crazies are so interested in control that they do the equivalent of holding guns to peoples' heads, as with S 1959 which would jail people for "radical" thought (whatever that is conveniently interpreted to mean). Only chops-licking bloodhounds lead a nation to wars and more wars based on lies.

Dynamo, let's go! Let's get them out! It's time! It's time that we Americans are ENcouraged, not DIScouraged! It's time that we take care of our own Constitution! It's time to put an end to corruption without end! It's time to say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

Okay, let's get real.
If this plan doesn't actually end up forcing their resignation, then the least it can do is this: Slap the politicians on the wrist and give them a good public embarrassment. And hopefully, in so doing, they will never attempt such a thing again. The bloodhounds just might even crawl into their caves with their tails between their legs. And that's the worst-case scenario. Maybe if we get enough of a groundswell going, they even WILL resign!
The only guarantee that it won't work is not to try.
