No one can "take" our freedoms unless we allow it for whatever lying reason they give.
Want to really do something about this then start by teaching others how to survive, how to grow things, how to fight, how to shoot (Appleseed is a good way), how to do emergency medical; things that will help keep people alive - remember one of the main goals is "depopulation".
Second learn your state's constitution because it is the CONTRACT that all state law enforcement and government employees are under. Know the ath they take because that is their affirmation that they KNOW the contract and will follow it. If they break the oath they break the contract. Fire them. You do NOT need an election or recall to dump them when they broke the contract. Expect them to take "the people of the great state of XXX" to court over it. It is up to them to prove that they did NOT break the agreed upon contract. Do this in numbers and in the safest manner youc an as the USA and the US Constitution needs you alive. This includes all state law enforcement, all state repss, all those who work within state agencies and schools - that are required to take the oath. Look up state laws they must keep such as:
Ca Government Code Section 19572. Each of the following constitutes cause for discipline of an employee, or of a person whose name appears on any employment list:
(a) Fraud in securing appointment.
(b) Incompetency.
(c) Inefficiency.
(d) Inexcusable neglect of duty.
(e) Insubordination.
(f) Dishonesty.
(g) Drunkenness on duty.
(h) Intemperance.
(i) Addiction to the use of controlled substances.
(j) Inexcusable absence without leave.
(k) Conviction of a felony or conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. A plea or verdict of guilty, or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere, to a charge of a felony or any offense involving moral turpitude is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of this section.
(l) Immorality.
(m) Discourteous treatment of the public or other employees.
(n) Improper political activity...
(s) Refusal to take and subscribe any oath or affirmation that is required by law in connection with the employment. (con't)

Washington DC. This is NOT "IN" AMERICA and DOES NOT "REPRESENT" AMERICA and is NOT "ON" AMERICAN LAND. It is an INDEPENDENT NATION which is a "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA". This tiny piece of land is a SMALL TOWN size and NOT a STATE OF AMERICA. It operates under ROMAN LAW, where the entire concept originated and is SOVEREIGN and because of that, it operates AUTONOMOUSLY under the laws that lean to its own benefit in every single possible way! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City-state
