I have, however, become skeptical of organized protests that require

like that feel good "Hands Across America" thang years ago that made
its organizers a lot of money and left participants with nothing but a
false sense of accomplishment.

Holocaust:
'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I
said nothing.
Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social
Democrat, so I did nothing.
Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist.
And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little.
Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.
Would you hide Ann Frank's family in your attic? Don't say so here or
they're doomed! No, waiting and doing nothing isn't going to help
either.
Suggestions? Anyone?

I still think Citizen's arrest is the way to go. As I stated once
before first there needs to be proof that a crime has been committed
by the President. That shouldn't be to hard considering the amount of
coverage he's gotten and the statements he's made. Then give every
member of Congress a fair warning in writing of intent to charge them
with complicity if they are unwilling to pursue an impeachment of the
President and charge him with the stated offense. Of course this
would take a lawyer (with big brass ones) and a hand full of
signatures. The flip side to this of course would be a Presidential
pardon of all charged, but then there's a back-up position to charge
him of his obstruction of justice once he leaves office.
It won't be easy finding a lawyer either, that is without a lot of
money. Until the pot is
stirred there's no way of knowing with any certainty whom all would
get on board. There must be at least a dozen federal judges that
would like to see justice done and that would require some research to
be sure. Placement can be everything in a case of this magnitude.
But once it's in the public's ear and the momentum begins to build a
US Marshal would have NO choice in the matter less they too be
charged, with obstruction, the arrests would stand. Nothing like it
has ever been attempted so it would seem like it has no chance of
success, but it won't be until it is put forward and the attempted is
made before anyone can KNOW.

I realize this is something that cannot be accomplished by one's self
and it is over-the-top in many respects, but quite frankly I'd rather
dream along the line of self-empowerment over government intrusion
than continue to do the insane. Doing the same thing over and over
again, expecting a different result is just that (regarding protest).
I don't see any other suggestions. I'll pitch this idea elsewhere,
maybe I'm not alone.
