Well said recently awakened. But I think this does have a chance of success. It is said to have the military like yourself behind it because they to have sworn the same oath. But it took certain action by the people before they could intervene. Those actions have now been taken.
Not only is there pressure from the inside but also pressure from the world that has been ravaged by this out of control group doing the US people to do its bidding. Its time is short.

Overthrow the government by sending letters to governors and make them resign, really?? I can't believe people take this serious.

THINK for a second:
- The letters come from a Texan anti-government group. They have ZERO credibility, and act under no one's authority. They don't speak for ALL THE PEOPLE. THEY might want to overthrow the government, but they do not speak for the majority of US citizens.

- The letter basically states that governors have to ask for forgiveness and then are reinstated, and if they sign this they will be considered re-elected. So some random organization believes they can ask a governor to step down, and the put him back in place if he "asks for forgiveness". On WHO'S AUTHORITY???

- They say there won't be any more taxes...yet have NO PLAN about how to regulate things after the putsch. Who will organize things? What about the people who rely on government services? What about ALL THE LAWS that are based on the current government? Who's gonna write new laws? Those lunatics who believe they can convince governors to step down by sending letters???

The letter is actually written in a "safe" way...it can't really be seen as a threat. Just a wishful pipedream by some lunatic. The letter clearly shows the guy who came up with it hasn't thought about things in great detail. It's as if he had written "step down now, we'll take over...we'll...well...we'll see what happens...but don't forget to step down".
Btw, I'm pretty sure the letters come from this guy...
I'm not happy about all of the government's plans either, but can we stop wasting times with lunatic ideas and instead spend that energy to come up with constructive and helpful plans? Overthrowing the government won't solve anything, and it's definitely not bad enough right now to even think about it. If it were like in Burma, you could start thinking about it...

To the people worrried about the "Religious" aspect of this... It doesn't have anything to do with religion except the fact that we were all created by God to have freewill.
It has nothing to do with being Christian, Jewish, Moslem, Hindu etc... So pipe down!
It means that the ONLY entity that should have authority over us is God. And if you don't believe in God, fine - then no one has authority over you.
