Take to the streets then, peaceful protest, make noise, make it aware to every man woman and child that this is an important issue, that your freedom is something you value. Peaceful assembly with a forceful message is one of the only ways this can be changed, Americans need to stand up and be heard or it's only ever going to get worse.

Any time this is attempted, it is met with enormous governmental show of force. No matter how peaceful the dissent, the US government is not tolerant of it.

It is? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I haven't seen legally organized protests (yes, you do have to file the appropriate paperwork) recently which have actually been shut down by an enormous governmental show of force. Do you have any examples?

Occupy Wall Street, the Seattle WTO protests, off the top of my head.
