I've been trying to define for myself what I need to be doing now as a citizen. Thanks for posting this from a national hero.

People who are old enough to remember the Montgomery bus boycott remember how devastating it was. The transit company lost over 75% of its paying customers overnight and that went on for 13 months. White housewives who were well off enough to employ black servants to cook, clean and raise the kids finally organized car pools to get them to and from work. White males, of course, were never inconvenienced unless they owned part of the transit company or had to eat breakfast in a diner because the wife was on carpool duty that day.

I was uncooperative with researching the banking history of people on Nixon's enemies list. Couldn't find a thing, honest!

Obstruction and monkeywrenching are also options, but more likely to land you in jail. However, they are likely to become necessary.
