I have noticed several members mention that they are or have been on strike. I am not myself (I will explain more later today on my intro), but I have considered it and an fascinated to hear some real life stories. Anyone interested in sharing? Or if there are previously posted stories please point me in the right direction.

    Tell me more about 'Tail of the Dragon'. There is one on Kindle, but I don't think it's what you're talking about. Looking at my Amazon account there are several books by that name. Need more info please.

    '68 Charger ~ nice. Running soda? Hmmm. New York Anti-Soda Racing League? NYASR? A liberal version of NASCAR? Where racing is done in smart cars fueled by soybean ethanol and everyone snacks on tofu? Oh, it would be in a 'gun-free' zone, so you already know every single scumbag would come out to watch it. Crime would be everywhere. LOL. Stupid Libs.

    Your last comment and question is certainly thought provoking. Yes, I wonder if the anti-soda thing is the beginning of his own Directive 10-289. I'm waiting to hear about doombergs plans for Equalization of Salary Act, everybody effected, except for he and his staff of course. Puke. The U.S.needs to pull out of NY.

    Haha. No. It was a '68 Charger if I remember right. It belonged to my friend and had a bigger trunk than my '73 Challenger.

    Since I'm probably already on the radar I'm not worried about that.

    Running 'shine led to NASCAR. What will running soda led too?

    I've been trying to think of a correlation between Dumbergs actions and some regs in AS. What do you think comes closest?

    I'm thinking from the Bloomberg perspective, your actions would mean only one thing: revolution! You better hope your plans don't reach his office, you'll be identified as 'a person of interest'. Then comes the DHS, the FBI, the IRS after you, not sure you want to do that.

    Did you do your Coors Run in a 1978 Pontiac Firebird? Or was it in an old ambulance?

    Isn't interesting how these govt "families" and "communities" cannot tolerate dissenters. Emperors and lack of clothes come to mind.

    This is my new business plan ala Smokey and the Bandit. I have 2 tank trucks that will hold just under 12,000 gallons between them. I'm going to fill one with Coke, one with Pepsi and head for New York. I also have a step deck that can hold crates of 2 litter stuff.

    When I was stationed at NAS Pensacola a friend and I actually made a Coors run to Texas. At that time no Coors east of the Mississippi.

    Greetings Esteban,
    It sounds like the Twentieth Century Motor company; Starnesville policies have infiltrated the military.

    My wife and I have never had children and it is far too late for us now, but that hasn’t stopped the state from taxing us yearly with excessive school taxes in order to indoctrinate the children of others... We do not believe there should be a marriage benefit, but we are not so foolish as to not use it as a way to recoup some of the taxes they have extorted.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    When I was in the Air Force, I was constantly frustrated by the fact that I was paid significantly less than my married cow-orkers even though we had the same job. Even those I outranked were paid more than I if they were married. In addition to the second income from a spouse, they also got a host of social and financial benefits from the government for no reason other than their marriage. The same went for single parents, who were paid extra for having created children, along with their child support, WIC, and other welfare handouts. Without fail, I got the weekend, holiday, and night duties nobody wanted because I was the most available. I was also compelled to take on more additional duties than anyone else, for the same reason. When I objected to this treatment, I was told to shut up and stop whining, that my cow-orkers made sacrifices by being away from their families, and that I had no inkling of what it meant to be married with kids.

    I also had no inkling what it was like to be paid for marriage or breeding, nor receive the sheer volume of social and fiscal support they did. I was forbidden to live on base and required to live on the local economy, which sucked tremendous amounts of money out of my pocket in rent & utilities and also travel back and forth to the base. So in 2008, I decided that I'd had enough. I didn't quit the AF, but I dialed back on the amount of time and energy I dedicated to their bottomless demands that I do more than anyone else, with fewer resources. The screaming and tantrums that followed was epic, with all manner of hatred and derision coming down on my head because I stopped being a sacrificial animal for their personal and reproductive choices.

    When I started blowing the whistle on their illegal activity, they backed off. But that's another story...

    Only buy stuff on the state approved list. Not be able to get more than a 16oz drink, even with the family size pizza. Only live where I tell you that you can....

    10289 is on the way folks.

    Thanks for the feedback Khalling. I really appreciate it. I will look for past posts in the forums. I anticipated what you mentioned about the public aspect and people not wanting to go into too much detail. I actually spoke with one of the web designers here regarding contacting members privately. It sounds like they are working on it, or at least willing to try and do so.

    there are posts regarding galting in here. and some great posts. I just can't remember the titles. but someone else may well remember. We just post again when people ask questions. There are many ways to do this and even fellow strikers do not agree on any one path (just like in the book). Also, this a public forum and so you're not likely to get details as such.

    I will say this. My husband and I have galted, yet remain committed to finding new ways to educate those in the US who are teetering on the brink. also trying to get those asleep at the wheel to wake up. This year, you will see an avalanche of "dawning". People figuring out that some law or other has passed and now affects them. Here's one of my recent favorites and I will post another law that many are unfamiliar with in here.

    We have a good friend in Kansas whose wife is a teacher. The legislature is looking at legislation that would force teachers to buy only state sanctioned things. For example, if you wanted to buy a car, it would have to come from a qualified list of cars the state of Kansas agreed to. you can see where this goes. vacations, refrigerators, land outside of the state, etc. While all the teachers were enjoying their employment protections and salary increases not on merit but on seniority, they didn't even contemplate that they were in it to the devil. Now, they're going to have to pay if that passes. Of course they are horrified! We said to them, we have been following and telling you about govt over-reach for decades now. You just now get it?? They responded-well, you do when it finally happens to you-and you're the same. We replied, No. We have always followed EVERY freedom removal whether it happened to us or others. and you called us nuts for being so concerned about stuff nobody cares about. It's like cooking frogs. (I have never done this-but I'm told you put them in the cold water and by the time it is too hot, they're already done for. Now you'll get a french comment. :)
