In 1776, 56 brave patriots signed their names at the bottom of the Declaration of Independence — a document that spelled out the specifics as to why the thirteen colonies were making a break with England and King George.
Signing that document was treason against the British, and every single man, some with names you know — Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams, and of course John Hancock — and some you may not, such as Thomas McKean, Button Gwinnett, and Arthur Middleton, risked literal life, limb, and property by doing so. Had the British prevailed, they very well may have ended their days in front of a firing squad or at the end of a hangman's noose. Yet still they signed.
The interesting thing is, only about a quarter of the population actively supported the break with England at the time the Declaration was signed. Another quarter, largely those whose fortunes benefited greatly from the connection with England (which some of the signers did themselves), wanted to remain part of the Empire, while fully half the population were what we'd call today "undecided."
The reality is, leaders do what these men and others did: they led, they fought, and they went home and convinced their fellow citizens about the righteousness of their cause and inspired others to join the fight. In the end, they prevailed, and in doing so, they set forth a path that changed the course of human history, much for the better.
Today America finds itself in a place not so different from what the thirteen colonies faced 246 years ago. While the thirteen disjointed colonies faced the greatest empire the world had ever known, patriots today face the greatest propaganda machine in human history: the Democrat-Media-Tech Industrial Complex.
There are two big differences, however. The first is that the thirteen colonies had the benefit of 54 men who were willing to stand up and challenge the king and parliament in order to do what they knew to be right. Today, patriots find a largely barren wasteland devoid of leaders willing to stand up as the Democrats and their cabal seek to steal an election in broad daylight.
The other difference is that in 1776, war was the last option available to the patriots. In 2020, patriots still have one last option before something drastic...and the odds of it succeeding are as slim as those faced by the thirteen tiny colonies taking on the most powerful empire in the world.
As The Hill detailed earlier in the week, there is a constitutional tactic through which the Republic can be saved — and make no mistake: that is exactly what is at stake here.
The tactic involves senators and representatives using the procedures outlined in the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act (ECA) to delay the acceptance of the electors to a point where the House would then choose the president, with each state having a single vote. Given that Republicans control a majority of the state delegations, Donald Trump would be declared the winner.

Yes, we the people are ready to defend Trump at all cost and under all circumstances. We have pledged our allegiance to him and we will not fall down on him. We stand by our president no matter what!
I am afraid any input from the Hill must be evaluated carefully. A lot of leftie loonnies blogg it like a clubhouse.
As it is today, some people are fine being ruled by elites and and profit from being a territory of China. We don't need a new declaration of Independents. Or a new constitution. We need Patriots that will fight for our right to be free. Let's clean house.
I have the desire but not the ability to fight for liberty. I am paralyzed from a stroke and don't have the financial resources to finance the needed revolution. Being poor AND disabled leaves me on the sidelines.
56? I can confirm there are 70 million plus Trump voters that will sign right frigging now! The time to be silent is at an end.
I so PRAY Trump will be able to stay in office
