"Mission: Restoration of Constitutional government, rule of law, freedom, liberty “of the people, for the people, by the people” from despotic and tyrannical federal leadership."
Harry Riley, COL, Ret. is calling upon millions of patriots to march upon Washington D.C. to remove Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder from Office.
He has termed it “OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING – Beginning Of Tyranny Housecleaning” and it’s due to commence May 16, 2014.
There are 3 primary phases to the plan:
Phase 1 – Field millions, as many as ten million, patriots to assemble in a peaceful, non-violent, physically unarmed
Phase 2 – At least one million of the assembled 10 million to stay in D.C. as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office.
Phase 3 – Politicians with the principles of a West; Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Lee, DeMint, Paul, Gov Walker, Sessions, Gowdy, Jordan, to comprise a tribunal to convene investigations and recommend appropriate charges against politicians and government employees who have violated the Constitution
God bless Colonel Riley and all patriots in this historic effort to restore our country!
One can easily see why this administration fears and loathes veterans. It’s patriots like Colonel Riley that can undo their tyrannical agenda.
Let’s make 2014 the year we take our country back!
He needs 10 million to march, with a million remaining behind to wait them out...I wonder how many people he thinks actually know about this event?
Clearly not an extraordinary strategist. What are his plans for shelter, food, and sanitation? Plans for resistance to police/military? Kinda reminds me of a scene in Ghostbusters.

My thoughts as well, there must not have been much push to get the word out. That and much of the media wouldnt want to cover it. They'll probably gladly cover it after, when the turn out is poor. First I heard was recently too.
He has hand picked a tribunal board? Yeah... so much for the Constitution and rule of law... "Politicians with the principles of a West"? Does he mean Cruz, the Canadian? Wouldn't he be a "politician with the principles of the Great White North"?

You mean such the one the (unelected) Riley wants to put into place? hmm, that sure sounds familiar, where have we see such "justice" before....hmmm Let him march on Washington, more power to him, but if he believes in the Constitution, then he will uphold the laws also..... but that doesn't seem to be the case.

When those appointed and elected to uphold the law are themselves lawless, how do you remove them? Our forefathers thought one option was by force at the tip of a bayonette. In fact, isn't it written somewhere that it is our DUTY to remove them by force if that becomes the case?

I suspect very much, that King George, and the Tories in the colonies thought the same thing when word got out about the events that happened in Boston in late 1773, as did Louis XVI when the insurgents and popular militias began gathering in front of the Tuileries Palace and the Bastille. So would have the British aristocracy when news came of the events in India and other parts of it's colonial empire. We recently saw a duly and legally elected head of state in Ukraine vanquished from power and country in violation of that nation's laws and constitution. And so it has been thru out history. Once a nation's govt has swerved from the will of the people and the foundations upon which it was intended to stay, there is no other way to set it back on course other than by force, and anything less or otherwise is a futile gesture.

If there's so much general unhappiness in the population, would't be better (and easier) to set up a party that espouses the supposed "will of the people" and then just vote for it? If you can get 10 million to march on the capital and 1 million to stay there for an indefinite length of time then that shouldn't be too difficult IMO.

Finding 10 million people who don't like the current system is the easy part. Finding a candidate they would all stand behind would prove quite difficult.

This initiative is not about finding 10 million unhappy people, it's about finding 10 million people unhappy enough to march on the capital to possibly be "killed, wounded, incarcerated" and 1 million people unhappy enough to stay there indefinitely until the current government bows out and a tribunal of specifically named conservatives is installed to try them.
Then, "the senior republican in the US House of Representatives will become Speaker of the House and the US House of Representatives will elect a temporary President and Vice President of the United States".
After that, "the U.S. Congress will execute appropriate legislation to convene new elections". What happens if the election results (assuming they are universal suffrage, free and fair) don't match what the "marchers" like? Will they topple governments until they have an government they like?
Sounds like a great way to go all-out Ukraine to me.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Fixing the problems within the system would always be the desired goal, IMO.
The problems we face today are not a surprise.

The tea party began with those intentions I believe. In this era of misinformation I think a alot of people are just living in denail and hoping for the best. He wont get near 10 mil, no one even knew it was planned. The "will of the people" seems to be weakening in general, and with each generation is being led a new direction with a dangling carrot, not thinking enough on its own. The unhappiness is placated by entertainment and inebriation and we only clammor for more. That and older folks with strong wills who are looking at it as a lost cause and just hoping they wont be around anymore when it gets real bad.

When was it that older folks didn't think that the world was going to hell in a handbasket?

The will of the people is in the hands of the people... via the elections.
It has progressed far past individuals that come and go. It is the corrupt system that they enter and have to work within. How many elections over how long of a period would it take to replace our entire government? In those years of rebirth, how many of the new people will be exposed to people or elements of the corruption that you were trying to eliminate?

For only that moment of the election (if then at all: voter fraud, etc). After the election, the politician is kept in check and forced to act in the will of the people by what measure? The people have no say until the next election and then they get to pick a person again but will have no say in how that person performs either.

Recall elections. Those should be unheard of, but they've been used multiple times in recent years. That fact alone is a strong commentary of the problems we face, but it also suggests the solutions are still within the system.

So, the solution is to kick everyone out, and install new officials all at once? Who will be the elected officials... oh wait, they wouldn't be elected, they would be placed in office by .... who, exactly? Frankly, the idea of "overthrowing" our government is much worse than what we have now. Those who have power, will still have power... nothing will change. If laws are broken, then hold people accountable.... but I am thinking it is more about who is in office, vs the actual corruption... as that was there before the current occupant of the WH.

exactly! The system has corrections built in... use them.

If people are so unhappy and they really want to change things without relying on others to do their bidding, they could (gasp!) become candidates themselves...!

That's one of the main things the Tea Party has been pushing - get involved at the local level. Run for your city council, school board, etc. The irony is when they do that, they're blasted for *not* being part of the "establishement."

And why would they care? If seems to me that one big problem of Tea Party candidates has been that they were often unelectable because of extreme opinions, skeletons in the closet or general weirdness. And what's the use of a "change" candidate who can't get elected?
