YOU'S HAVE NO EFFECTIVE STRATEGY! You's need to get the power of the vote back in the hands of the people instead of in the hands of crooked representatives. Start petition drives to eliminate the Senate in each state, as Nebraska did a long time ago. Then eliminate the House of Representatives in each state as well as in the federal government so that all issues are voted on directly by the people. Giving back to the people the power of the vote. This gives the people direct control of government and of themselves. A far more effective strategy than freezing outside with no results in sight. Vote the crooks permanently out of office and make it a direct democracy instead of a representative one. Power to the people is then restored.

Direct democracy is unworkable. A republic with fair elections is the goal.

Elections that aren't rigged would produce a higher standard of candidate, the kind who have to win people over with ideas instead of party machines and flashy ads

You can fool some of the people....

You know how it goes. You have to trust the people. However, a mob mentality is more dangerous to freedom than a pretty face.
