Our Republic is Doomed Unless We Unseat Half of Congress

it's real simple.  We all know what's going on.  We all know what is inevitable: the relentless drive to an overtly lawless, we-don't-care-what-you-think, not even trying to hide it anymore corrupt authoritarian fascist state.  If the vote on NDAA didn't tell you anything, nothing will.  Despite concerted outcry from even Rotary Club-level Main Street, the politicians passed an illegal law, shrugged, got into their private elevators which lead to underground garages and went home.

It is not time to stage armed revolution until all peaceful means have been exhausted.  We cannot honestly look ourselves in the mirror and say we tried, really tried, to wrest the body "closest to the people" back to the people.  The Founders reasoned that re-election every two years was ample reason to be responsive to popular sentiment.  And it is.  But this big lever only works if someone reaches up and grabs it.

Going into Spring, in this year of the Rand Paul filibuster, of a blooming of pro-Constitution activity in the state houses seeking to officially nullify what is already null and void - any law which flies in the face of the Constitution - it is high time to clearly state what must be done to regain our republic.

The math of governing is simple: it starts with a majority block of votes in the lower house.  These lead to leadership positions which can stall or move votes, rules changes, and other procedural power which marks a governing coalition.  But with primaries only a year away, how many of the congressmen who voted "yes" on NDAA are being challenged?  It would be our own fault and eternal damnation if it were not every one of them.

Let this thread kick off the plans.  Announce your candidacy here and hold your first money bomb.  Float names for us to contact and implore to run. 

We have to start now.  They have the money but we have the numbers, and time to organize.  Link your local NDAA nullification chapter to active candidacies.  These are skeleton organizations, often bipartisan, across freedom loving states that are already in place. 

If Rand wins in 2016 he will need a majority to govern.  The greatest thing his filibuster accomplished is to show that the love of liberty has not died in the hearts of Americans, no matter how much we moan that it has.  People who don't do politic were tuning in.  Over a million Tweets were reported.  Something was happening.    Make them start defending their votes immediately.  Never let them rest.  Never let them catch their breath.  We must unseat fully one half of Congress in 2016.

NDAA Traitors (we can prosecute them later...)
