Retired General Issues National Call To Action To Force Obama’s Resignation

A retired Army general is calling for the “forced resignations” of President Obama, other administration officials and the leadership of Congress for the direction they’re taking the nation, his list of grievances including the systematic political purge of hundreds of senior military officers in the U.S. military...

...In his capacity as chairman of the organization Stand Up America, Vallely issued what he termed a “National Call to Action” to force the resignations of Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Vallely, formerly the deputy commanding general of Pacific Command, said the current crop of leaders must be forced to resign by the “demand resignation” process, which he explained requires massive grass-roots protests and social networking. As an example, he cited the public and media pressure that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

Impeachment, Vallely said, is not a viable option because of “partisan politics.”

“Our federal government continues down the path of destroying America,” he said. “Americans must now stand up and put America back on the right track.”

Okay, I'm in.

Okay, I'm in.

I can imagine a group of higher ranking military men being able to mobilize something like this more effectively than any media personality. But the media personality seems key. Maybe Beck with several retired generals/colonels....

Be good to get Levin on board, too.

Nice move.

I have some upcoming meetings lined up with local political hopeful up & comers; I'm sure this will come up @ some point. I feel like we've gotten an assist 2-3 levels up - let's hope this amounts to more than a good feeling. The steering of a nation's attention back to matters in which they should be concerned is an endless task.

What is the “Demand Resignation Process”?

I read the article.  What General Vallely is proposing goes well beyond twitter feeds and social networking, that is just to gather the like-minded together.  The General understands that none of the named politicians will ever resign no matter how many petitions are signed or how many people walk on Washington.  This is not Nixon's era and the media is in the administrations pocket.

Like our Forefathers, how many of us are ready and willing to pledge fortunes, freedom and lives for the sake of this country? Until we are ready to do that, and I mean READY to DO that, then all of the marching and letter writing in the world will not save us.

With mass civil disobedience (ie grassroots protests), there is grave potential for violence.  The administration will force confrontation (we saw that during the shutdown); add a few pissed off Generals and we go straight to CW2/RW2.

A new friend was presented to me by my grandson with supporting "hardware" this morning. He's Mr. 7.62^mmMosin-Nagant, born the same year as me.

And its About time.  This has gone on long enough. Their motives are now very  clear.
May God have mercy on their souls, for I will not. I will gladly give up my family and fortune to let my kids live in liberty and have the freedom to make of themselves what they will, not what someone else deems they are allowed to be.

    CW2 or RW2, I'm too friggin' old to worry about being taken out, but I'd take some of 'em down with me. Never in my life, which includes my military service, did I swear to protect and defend a communist country.

I am in no way a pacifist when it comes to defending this Country from enemies; foreign and/or domestic. 

This may be the real deal. As such, it needs to be handled and thought through without the rose colored glasses.  Just sayin'.

I don't think there is a patriot left in this country who still  owns a pair of those.  Most of us have thought long and hard about what was likely coming, and what we would be asked to do.

You're right, of course.  I didn't mean to sound like such a hen.

I'm aware of what the vets I know would do. And they are ALL armed, and locked and loaded.

If you search the 2nd Amendment section of the forum, you'll see where we've discussed these rifles before. I'm a big fan of them, especially when you could literally get them for like $60 a piece. They're simple, rugged, and fire a real rifle cartridge.

At around $.25/round, it's fantastic.

  And it comes in what they refer to as "spam cans"holding 440 rounds,which will last a long time because shooting a 7.62X54 round will get your attention as well as who ever you hit.
