Answer 1

Under the present administration, the rights of all United states citizens are being taken away.
Last week the president signed into a law a bill that gives him the authorization to conduct wire taps, collect emails and the like on all citizens, even those with no known links to any foreign government or terrorist groups.
Unfortunately, the usual course of actions for most citizens is to complain but do nothing.
They can not be blamed fro such a lack of action as there is no longer a government which represents the people. Not only is the president and his cadre, henchmen and gophers all working to erode our rights, Congress, both the House and Senate seem to be unwilling to act on behalf of those person whom they supposedly represent..

For those who may have actually studied a bit of history and remember what they may have learned about how Adolph Hitler and the Brown Shirts came into power, the situation is terrifying.
Basically, after years of moral decline and political corruption, a socialist Christian group began to move politically and slowly gained the acceptance of the masses who either thought nothing would come of it or were too lazy to resist. That group was the Nazi party, supported by Christian fundamentalist, extreme right wingers and others of that ilk.

Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. Sadly, few U.S. of A. citizens are well educated nor did they learn their history.

Short of a revolution, which would be in keeping with ideals and understandings of the founding fathers of this nation regarding a government that no longer represents its citizens, what would you have us do?

Answer 2

What would you suggest. Murder? Boston tea party? I do everything I know how to persuade the people I can reach but for the most part it falls on deaf ears. When you are surrounded by what seems to be millions of ignorant people who only vote, if at all, for the candidate that would give them a false sense of security rather than thinking of weather their rights or liberties were being abridged, it gets pretty frustrating. At this point in the history of the US, revolution may be the only answer to regaining what was once ours.

Answer 3

the place have you ever been. They already do. i'm compelled to pay greater taxes on a similar time as those with infants or are married pay little or no taxes. (Bushed new tax rules.) purely attempt to place up a shed or substitute something on your place & see how fas the government comes at you with The construction inspector & forces you have a so observed as enable. colleges are meant to be coaching college paintings. (analyzing, Writing, Math.... ) faith isn't college paintings and is dropping tax money. faith could be tought in CHURCH by utilising people who choose it. not compelled on people who do not choose it in college. additionally who's faith might you coach because of the fact there are dozzens of them. so a procedures as undercover agent & nuter of cats & canine. Why might you opt for hundreds of undesirable canine & cats working around in case you probably did not try this.additionally they inform you which you're able to placed on a seat belt in a automobile. isn't that violating your rights too. you're under no circumstances going to provide up the government attempting to tell you what you may & won't be able to do.

Answer 4

They are being taken way, and I do say something -- as well as doing something about it.

Every one of the rights curtailed in the past decade were my rights, and yours. The fact that neither of us may have needed to invoke them doesn't make them any less our rights.
