they have not responded to a list of several hundred grievances. - ProGlock
All of which seem to concern protesting Federal income taxes. I saw mention of war powers, but the rest deals with objections to paying taxes. It could serve as a model for other issues, but they would lack the leverage of withholding payments. What does a gun owner do, for example. Promise not to shoot someone? Just what we need. We already leverage votes and are inching closer and closer to establishing a separate political party with guns or civil rights in general as number one on its platform agenda. As a matter of fact, by the 2008 election, I expect to have abandoned the GOP to the Christian right and gone my own way, in search of government with rational integrity. The upcoming Constitutional amendment debates and laws to sidestep the Courts on social conservative issues will pretty much tell the tale.
At this point, I think your WTP petition is a hack. Has anyone bothered to campaign for individual taxes only at the State level and win some political support? We are going to have to pay somebody. How much to pay and how much to spend are separate questions.
Good luck.
