From the Wiki page on Thoreau's 'Civil Diobedience'; I think we can learn a lot from him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_%28Thoreau%29

He exhorts people not to just wait passively for an opportunity to vote for justice, because voting for justice is as ineffective as wishing for justice; what you need to do is to actually be just. This is not to say that you have an obligation to devote your life to fighting for justice, but you do have an obligation not to commit injustice and not to give injustice your practical support.

Paying taxes is one way in which otherwise well-meaning people collaborate in injustice. People who proclaim that the war in Mexico is wrong and that it is wrong to enforce slavery contradict themselves if they fund both things by paying taxes. Thoreau points out that the same people who applaud soldiers for refusing to fight an unjust war are not themselves willing to refuse to fund the government that started the war.

In a constitutional republic like the United States, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then Thoreau says the law deserves no respect and it should be broken. In the case of the United States, the Constitution itself enshrines the institution of slavery, and therefore falls under this condemnation. Abolitionists, in Thoreau's opinion, should completely withdraw their support of the government and stop paying taxes, even if this means courting imprisonment.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.… where the State places those who are not with her, but against her,– the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor.… Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.[10]

Why don't we chain ourselves - with a big 9/11Truth sign - to our own fence or front door if we have one? (assuming we live on a street where we will be seen).

By chaining ourselves to the White House fence - we are saying (in effect) that the occupant of the White House has the power over truth and lies.

But by chaining ourselves to our own fence or front door -- we are saying the WE have the power over truth and lies.

Wouldn't it make a much more interesting story to have people chaining themselves to their own fences with 9/11Truth signs? "Debunkers" and "Deniers" - seeing a "Twoofer" chaining himself to the White House Fence - will say to themselves: "Another nutcase -- take him away."

But people seeing their neighbors chaining themselves to their own front doors - especially in significant numbers - might ask: "Where is this passion and conviction coming from? Perhaps they would be motivated to listen to us with an open mind."

No. I am not going to chain myself to any fence. Nor am I telling anyone else to do it. Rather, I am hoping - by offering this thought - to make the point that we should see ourselves as the source of Truth, lies and power - and not to proxy our power to another - regardless of what "office" they have been elected to.

Barack Obama is not more powerful than you or I. Let him/her who has ears to hear - hear.

In any case --- Good luck Jon.

Jon mentioned that 9/11 is the "third rail." I would emphasize that civil disobedience is the third rail of 9/11 justice. We need this as much as we need TV ads and litigation. All great political struggles have to risk arrest for their cause.

Good luck, Jon.

and good on you for taking non-violent action in support of the worthy causes you've stated, and to protest the injustices that continue to be perpetrated.

I'll be there w/ video camera to document the event.

Thank you.

We need more MEN like you.

If I may quote one of my favorite film characters, Victor Lazlo, "This time I know our side will win."

bonsoir Jon,
thank you so much for your engagement. It is because of your videos on 911blogger that I started with my humble capacities to copy you and others in America on informing the French on 911 via the video.

I have a lot to learn and lots of vidéos to turn. However each day I ask myself how can I be efficient.

At this moment in France we talk a lot about the best seller "Indignez vous !" in English "Cry out !" by Stéphane Hessel. It is sure as a human being we can not accept the 911 lies that make so many people die.
We want to cry out but I am not sure that Stéphane Hessel and the people buying his book are ready to understand our revolt on the 911 lies.

The year 2011 is an important moment where we can get the truth out. Up to everyone to find their way to react.

Bonne chance à Jon ( good luck to Jon) and to us all in bringing the 911 truth and peace to the world.

Yours

John
