How does the idea of a Counter-Government sound?
Tired of Bush embarrassing you?

Tired of the 'christian' Right Hate Groups having a say in how the Government works?

Tired of having the poor get poorer and the rich getting richer?

Tired of seeing Karl Rove out a CIA Agent and help divide this country and then he gets a RAISE?

If you said "Yes" to any of these questions, then it might be time to take action!

I was thinking of E-Seceding.

What we're going to do is form a Technocratic Response to the Kleptocracy/Felonocracy that is the GOP.

What we'll do:

Have Elections (When and how often these Elections occur will happen when we write a Constitution)

Have a Prime Minister

Establish ties with Liberals, Progressives, Social Democrats, etc. all around the world to make this Technocracy bigger and better

Establish alliances with Nations such as Venezuela to get Social Programs started for America's Poor and to hinder Bush's opposition of Venezuela's Democratically Elected President

And more

Who wants to do this?

Think of this as a Silent and Bloodless Revolution.

3. i think the government we have...
is in it's last throes....after all we are broke. FEMA showed us that it is just a shell...how many more FEMA's are on the horizon? The stock market has to implode one of these days...it's all a sham. So, any covert activity to re-establish after the fall is prudent planning i would think. No?

4. A few guidelines
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 04:09 PM by dcfirefighter
Local and public collection of Rent.

Proportional Representation

Citizen's Dividend

Publicly Created Money

And I'd realign the levels of government into
strong local governments with populations of about 10,000: towns, neighborhoods, counties, etc.; funded by land taxes
Municipal coalitions of governments around metropolitan areas, funded by user fees and contributions from local governments
General bioregional governments, perhaps based on watersheds; funded by pollution taxes, extraction levees, and contributions from local governments.
And a national government for an overall framework of laws, a transportation network, atmospheric protection, etc.; funded by sovereignity of currency and contributions from local governments.

Just to start.
