Self-styled revolutionary patriots plan to converge on Washington, D.C., this week to drive President Barack Obama and disloyal lawmakers out of office.

?We are calling for the removal of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, and Eric Holder as a start toward constitutional restoration,?*said retired Army Col. Harry Riley, leader of the Operation American Spring protest group. ?They have all abandoned the US Constitution, are unworthy to be retained in a position that calls for servant status.?

Operation American Spring aims to pressure those lawmakers who remain ? or are replaced by officials of their own choosing ? ?to sponsor and pass very Constitutionally crafted State legislation to dissolve the size, powers, scope and spending of the U.S. Government by 2/3rds.?

The activists say they expect 10 million to 30 million like-minded Americans to join them Friday in the nation?s capital for a rally patterned after Occupy Wall Street and ?Arab Spring? protests.

They also plan a sister event the same day in Bunkerville, Nevada, where militia groups have gathered to support scofflaw rancher Cliven Bundy in his dispute with the federal government.

Organizers also anticipate ?incremental nullification? by state legislatures of ?all withholding taxes, employment taxes, employer taxes, and income taxes.?

?This will effectively DOUBLE the size of ALL American Middle Class family weekly paychecks and cause our local city and town economies to boom,?*the group promises on its Facebook page.

Tea Party Nation promoted*Operation American Spring last month in an email to its members from founder Judson Phillips, who hinted at a violent response from the federal government, and sent invitations in January to the protest.

?There is no way a militia with small arms can defeat the kind of arms the U.S. government can bring to bear on such a battle, but one has to admire the courage of those people who showed up to confront them,? Phillips said, comparing the protest to the American Revolution. ?That?s quintessentially American!?

Operation American Spring spokesman Terry Trussell told the ?Patriot Nation? radio program that he feared Obama would*order drone strikes*on protesters, and host Mark Hoffman suggested participants bring emergency supplies and make other preparations in case of violence.

Riley told Before It?s News*that his group does not want violence, but he admits that peaceful solutions have thus far proved ineffective.

?For more than five years, ?we the people? have been writing, calling, faxing Congress, the media, screaming in Town Halls, marching, rallying, demonstrating, petitioning, all to no avail,? Riley said. ?Every branch of government looks at ?we the people? whom they have taken an oath to serve, as ?pests,? interfering with their political agenda, cramping their self-serving, greedy agendas. We have no faith in the ballot box any longer, as many believe this sacred secret box has been compromised.?

Previous attempts to drive Obama out of office by shutting down Washington, D.C., with*massive protests*or by*encircling the ?beltway? with semi-trucks*have drawn far fewer participants than promised.

But Operation American Spring organizers say those ineffective protests helped pave the way for their own success.

?Every political persuasion, rich, poor, every color, all ages, men, women, liberal, conservative, independent, unemployed, et al, are now mobilizing to participate in this peaceful, non-violent, cause in the search for constitutional restoration for America,? Riley said. ?We have well over 1 million militia members mobilizing; bikers, truckers, hunters, Tea Party groups ? citizens across America. No, I don?t think 10 million (participants) is high at all.?

Or, as a*blogger speculated at Before It?s News, the whole operation could be a false flag planted by the Obama administration to launch a civil war.
 
It's clear that the Tea Party is a threat to democracy.
 
They're counting personalities. In reality, it's probably about a thousand. Add in all the split personalities and you get 10 mil. At minimum.

it's crazy how someone could believe 8-10% of the US would show up for anything.

it kind of reminds me of the Romney camp saying they were certain they would win when all of the 538 numbers showed them with basically no chance. never mind reality

They probably believe Jesus will teleport them all there. Afterwards they will drink Mountain Dew and watch NASCAR in the capitol rotunda.

...and then have a big circle jerk, followed by a prayer asking for forgiveness to "cure" their homosexuality.
 
I own guns now... Should I take them all out for the team.... I bet I could get my facet injections for my back in jail now that the last two insurances I have had have fucked me on it.. Oh and don't Blame Obama care because they started denying me years ago..
 
Nah, I don't think violence is the answer. I say put them on every major network like sterling and bundy. They'll hang themselves.
 
In all seriousness...this sounds like something BYCO would attend does it not?

they were for a while, when the republicans were holding the debt ceiling hostage over obamacare after the 2012 election. these elections matter, if you don't have the votes, you can't change the law, they were resorting to guerrilla tactics and that was actually a threat to democracy.
 
Any talk of threats to democracy should be about corporations and lobbyists.
 
wonder how it's going?

It's raining in DC this morning, so I guess some of them probably have to come to grips with the fact that their christian god is not on their side, as they seem to believe the weather is influenced by him.

Nothing about it in WaPo.com, the NYT.com or even Fox News' website! Guessing the turnout hasn't been as high as projected, or otherwise the latter would be going nuts about it.

i was checking twitter earlier (or as Fox News calls it "the Twitter") and saw how their hashtag had been hijacked. pretty damn funny.

It's funny when Conservatives & Tea Partiers try to be modern and hip and it blows up in their faces.

they're always a step behind in the humor, satire, and irony departments... wonder why that is?
