Everything we've done, to date, has been ignored - every warning, every caution, every example.

I've written, called, and faxed my state House and Senate representatives, my federal House and Senate representatives, our state and federal AG offices/officers, the reps of other districts at the state and federal level, and whatever heads of media organizations I could in an attempt to feel heard in any regard. As you can probably guess, I've yet to hear from ANYONE (with the exception of my district state House Rep). We are in immediate danger and are in need of immediate defense.

The most immediate course of action available to us is to continue putting pressure on our state representatives, followed by a plan for when we are inevitably relegated to discussions in the back rooms of local bars in order to mount a defense of our country.

Our federal legislature, I fear, is a lost cause. Our only available course of action is to respond to federal usurpation through our state bodies - as the federal government is only an extension of the power delegated by the states, and we can limit its reach.

I urge every single patriot here to blast every representative they can (DemonRat AND Republican) with the following:

"I'm thrilled to see you in the state [House/Senate] and hope you'll stand for us as our country is in dire need of defense at this time.

I'd be willing to bet there is plenty of common ground to be had between both sides of the aisle - but, with our voices being minimized, marginalized, and outright silenced in the digital public forum, we have no meaningful way to enter the discourse of the day and engage with those that might otherwise agree with us.

In reality, if I were fed talking points without context or merit by the drive-by media and big tech (and made no effort to consider other sources or attempt to look into these talking points for greater detail) and I was challenged on those indefensible positions I might feel personally attacked, too, and try to protect myself from scrutiny by inventing vague and subjective standards like 'PC culture', 'Hate Speech' or 'Inciteful Speech'.

(Omit this section if sending to a demonrat - we need them to feel like they're doing something valuable etc: Democrats understand this, and they push their agenda using this fear of vulnerability that exists in their base - because the left fails every time in the field of ideas, they have to eliminate other ideas.*)

I'd love to see some initiative from our state - can we take some proactive steps to ensure our rights and liberties are protected?

Let's make [Ohio] a Sanctuary State for Constitutionally-protected freedoms:

• a state free from infringement on the right to free speech, press, assembly, protest, and worship
• a state free from infringement on the right to keep and bear arms
• a state free from infringement on our protection from unreasonable search and seizure
• a state free from infringement on our right to due process
• a state free from infringement on our right to a speedy trial, and our right to face our accuser
• a state free from infringement on our protection from cruel and unusual punishment
• a state free from infringement on our right to retain powers not delegated to the federal government in the constitution

I'd love to go into further detail on my thoughts, but I don't want to run the risk of being 'lost in the pile'. Please, let me know when you receive this, and let me know your thoughts on my suggestion.

(Omit this section, or modify as applicable to yourself - provide personal appeal etc: Additionally, I'd love to get involved if there were a meaningful way for me to do so. I communicate fairly efficiently when given the opportunity, and I feel the need to do something. I served in the Army for 10 years, and it feels like the country I fought for is a bygone dream - unless we do something, now.*)

Please, again, let me know you've received this message - I look forward to your response!"

Again, patriots, we don't have the luxury of standing by.

The Donald is a stronghold, for now - but, I fear, lives on borrowed time.
