    Carl, what you propose is unattainable in Illinois. I don't know about other states, but ultimately there is one guy in the political sphere that matters and that guy isn't the governor.

    It's an individual state decision.

    What state wouldn't like the idea of regaining their power and stature?

    We won't know until we try.

    You want us to vote people in? Seriously, it ain't going to happen. Too many leaches depend on the current system.

    This is a good point. The way the federal government maintains control is by making everyone dependent on it. It takes money away from everyone then gives it back. Those who resist it get their money taken away.

    Though Carl's point about changing the system is still better than trying to do it through the presidency. One man is a lot weaker than many small local wars.

    Or later they'll forced into succession, after the power of the most numerous system on the planet is zapped by affinity.

    More and more states are becoming well aware that the federal gravy train is about to end and when it does, the only option left is totalitarian control imposed upon us through them. What I propose is to lobby the states and point out to them that they do have an alternate option, one that would make them the champions of liberty against a run amok central government.

    What is your plan to get your ideas enacted? Voting isn't going to work.

    Just about any other alternative discussion will get guys busting through our windows while wearing cool hats.
