From Attention Activists: It's Time to Grow Up! :
The Vietnam conflict was ended by those who organized sit-ins and takeovers not vigils. The Johnson presidency was brought down by those who shut down schools and colleges all over the nation, not by those who lit candles in quiet little ceremonies.
Does the name Gandhi mean anything to you? He defeated an empire, peaceably  and permanently when he organized acts of civil disobedience that sparked  similar action by millions of Indian activists. Are there any people in history  who ever have affected change via a vigil of any sort? 
Can you imagine  what would have happened if the Founding Fathers had decided to hold a vigil  rather than declare their independence from the tyranny of their British rulers?  If you truly want change you have to understand that any significant change to  the status quo in the US today requires both hard work and risk taking. It  requires unity. It requires the participation of masses of people who are  informed enough to understand the threats to their lives and their freedoms that  are posed by those who would profess to lead them! 
Our government is no  longer a government of our by the people. Both major political parties are  fronts for people behind the scenes who are orchestrating the end of the  republic and the establishment of autocratic rule. They are putting into place  what can best be described as control mechanisms. The apparatus already is in  place whereby all power, wealth, health and freedom is in the hands of the few  people at the top; the rest of us be dammed. This is not a theory...just pay  attention...it is happening...in public...for all to see...but you have to look  in order to see it!
