As I understand your constitution, no powers are reserved for your counties, the way there are for your states. So, for legal purposes, seems the critical mass at state level would be necessary. Have...

Yes bad experience with state legislators so far. The entire system top to bottom is broken. We all know this, which is why many of us are here in the first place. I hope your dude gets a wider audience and we can all get some practical solutions. Education and awareness are always the first step and then it’s a slow grind from there

This is the show he did on the way #Texas did it successfully, even though subsequently it was illegally reversed by the Warshington gangsterment... So, it's rather clear how the current activists would bring such a perpetual #vote to your #election ballot today. nostr:nevent1qqs0d57rm9zmjaunyhdk...

Ratifying amendments wouldn't fundamentally changeanything for the better. Your gangsterment in Warshington has been ignoring a number of existing amendments routinely - most notably 4, 9, and 10. T...

Absolutely! Thinking about it, it would likely need to start at the county level rather than the state to get traction because the states are about as corrupt — of course so is the county — since counties are leaving for neighboring states already. I don’t think it can really happen without bitcoin though because those smaller groups are going to need sound money. But at least there is growing desire for structural repair

Perhaps, also useful to review how the Confederate States brought secession votes up then.

Thanks for sharing. I listened to this one and to the other one you replied directly to me. He has some good ideas but neither of the episodes said how to implement them.

Finishing ratifying the original first amendment, which would follow the same process started by one law student and was completed in 1992, the original second amendment, now the 27th, would result in immediate improvement to decentralization. It’s literally a decentralization amendment that has already been passed by congress and ratified by nine states (I think it’s nine).

Tactical Civics — the group from whom I learned about the original first amendment — has a plan (I might even say strategy), that they are currently implementing, to do this (finish ratifying our original first bill of rights; it was supposed to be 12, not 10) as one of the first steps. I personally don’t think they will succeed because their marketing isn’t great, but there is a theoretically doable plan. I’ve posted some summaries on my feed.

What is the clear plan to implement from your dude? I liked a lot of what he said, but it isn’t enough to have a simple, elegant solution without a strategy. How? Grand Juries? Complaints at the county level? Lobby state reps and senators? How to secede? There are counties in OR seceding to ID apparently. To where do we apply pressure and how?

In any case, these ideas and discussions are important for education/awareness.

For perpetual secession on ballots and those other ideas, clearly only your state representatives are necessary. Your blob in Warshington is obviously completely unreachable to any reform. His focus seems to be on 9A and 10A based reforms. Perhaps, can ask him to clarify on his patreon. To me, s...
