Good thread. There's some fine readin' here.
You're making the incorrect assumption that the current government serves the people and not the other way around. The nation has long lost any real control over the Federal Government. And why put in "None of the above" when you can vote Ron Paul.
However, your idea needs to be transformed to truly be effective. The real power of today's world is media & finance. If stop letting those have control over you, that's when the establishment will get scared. It's Ghandi's approach, but for the modern times.
Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have read if Ron Paul does not get the republican nomination he is not going to run as an independent. Considering that his numbers are so low it does not look possible for him. So he would be out of the picture and we are back to the "two morons".
I agree that it would require lots to effectively influence the fed, but I do believe that it could happen on a local level grassroots where we can exert some influence which could change the makeup of county & state governments, then that could lead to fed changes.
One local man has been extremely successful in magistrate court litigation on malfeasance charges against local government county & state politicans & employees. He has taken $15k out of many of their pockets which I believe they notice. On charges of malfeasance they do not qualify for government paid legal representation.
