The government needs our consent to govern us. Well, we can withdraw our consent. We can stop paying taxes. We can stop recognizing their authority. They can't jail us all.
If we simply don't recognize the federal government, we will still be subject to state laws. We might decide, however, to have a congress where we get together to establish a new government.
And "we" might just be able to encompass people everywhere. The foundation has been laid - the universal declaration of human rights. The universal declaration of the rights of the child. The world court.
We can create a peaceful world. And, peace is not just the absence of violence - it will be a positive peace based on justice and equality.
The federal Constitution as well as most state constitutions give you the power to take back your government and that is via a Constitutional Convention(Article V). See links below for more info:

Use it or lose it . . . and your standard of living in the process.
Yeah, right. The government isn't owned by the people anymore, hasn't been for many decades. It's a fact of reality. The dog-and-pony-show that is Congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court...is simply a front for the ruling elite. We are all slaves to a weakening currency. Accept your fate. We are all screwed.
Try the 10th amendment...
