What faster way?
There is no faster way to change policies.
You can mobilize a third or fourth political party. It will take decades to get results.
You can start a private paramilitary "securtity" firm to force a coup domestically (or simply mobilize one yourself), or to mount a mission to rescue the victims suffering In Our Name overseas. Either way, it will take years to start up a company or a movement like that and get logistics in place for Ops.
There is no use in misleading ourselves: Humans are butes.
Though our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are couched in some humanistic and compassionate language, mainly they are documents that functionally recognize the brutish tendency of human political power constructs.
The fastest way to facilitate change is what we are doing now:
* Steadily gaining seats in Congress
* Steadily asserting a place in the national discourse via radio,
TV, and internets* Working with some apparent success at electing a Democratic President
These are not panaceas. We shall have to maintain vigilance on new congresses and presidents and judiciaries as well. Most Democrats in congress are as you say: spineless. They are being replaced until a needed critical mass of group courage is reached. that's just reality.
If you know of a faster practical way to get things done, please specify. I see no faster way to either save lives or salvage our Republic.
