Mary,
The intent of the awareness campaign we are waging is to educate and create a consciousness among all the patriotic souls who have sworn an Oath to the Constitution. Not to present the government with an ultimatum, but to give a potential tyrant pause. Any despot who might want to issue an order to confiscate privately owned firearms, for example, would be forced to ask themselves,"If I give this order, will that spell the end for me? Will those faithful to the Constitution refuse to obey my unlawful order, or even arrest me?" Once we have achieved that level of awareness, we will have won a great victory for freedom, without firing a shot.
Of course, there is more to it, but that is the general idea. Create a political environment so charged with patriotism and love of freedom, backed up by the Constitutional Oaths of We the People, that such an order dare not be given. Sun Tzu, himself, would be proud of that strategy!
