The political class would do well to heed their own history. This nation was born of the idea that the people can, and rightly should, govern themselves. When the representatives of the people regularly pass and impose laws, rules and regulations which the people do not support, our history tells us that it is time to remove and reform the government. When repeated elections fail to accomplish that goal, the people have a history of doing it through other means. Luckily, the colonists who fought and died for a free United States based on the principle of self-governance gave us a Constitution which gives us methods to restore liberty without bloodshed. Today, we must use all of them if the flame of liberty is not to be extinguished by a political class out of touch with the citizens. The fight for liberty and self-governance is part of our historical heritage. We fought for them in 1776 when we declared our independence and officially began the American Revolution. We fight for them today as we participate in what will ultimately be known in the history books as the Second American Revolution. Mark Meckler is the president of Citizens for Self-Governance.
