“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,” said retired Army Col. Harry Riley, leader of the Operation American Spring protest group. "We have no faith in the ballot box any longer, as many believe this sacred secret box has been compromised.”
Barack Obama took office in January, 2009. Just over 5 years ago. It would seem all of the screaming, marching and rallying were in response to what? No significant legislation was implemented in the first few months of the administration, so it would seem these 'patriots' didn't get their way in a free and democratic election, so they'll just take their ball and go home... so there!
