DIY: just do it yourself, America

Will it take a revolution to fix Washington?  According to this article in American Thinker, titled "Time for a New American Revolution?," revolution is an American right.  It begins,

The United States of America was born in revolution. The Declaration of Independence asserted that people have a right of revolution. According to The Declaration, "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [such as "life," "liberty," "the pursuit of happiness," and "the consent of the governed"], it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Now seems the perfect time to start a revolution -- while the government is out of commission, sort of. Unfortunately the military is still being paid (it looks like Obama was prepaing for the shutdown), so there will be a fight.  State militias are still in operation, too.

We certainly have the gunpower for a revolution, do we have the will? Organization is pretty important, too. Where is Che when you need him?

Is the NSA still listening? According to Forbes, nope:

Given that the government shutdown makes an exception for “national security,” some employees of the National Security Agency may have been surprised Tuesday to get a letter telling them their jobs don’t fall under that category.

Seems right and left government hands are out-of-synch.  Perfect.

OK, where do we start? Here's a how-to from wikiHow.  First step is know your goal:

Know your Goal. You are about to dedicate your life to this goal. Decide well and make your decision from the heart. A good question to ask yourself is, “What about the political system in which I live do I think is wrong? And what kind of system do I want to create for the people of my country?” Remember, the goal you chose is the Heart of your revolution.
