The group plans \u201cto announce their full count ahead of Sunday\u2019s protests but have claimed to have as many as 20 million signatures, which they collate, confirm and record in a database in a precise operation, knowing their count will be questioned,\u201d ABC News<\/a> reported last week.<\/p>\n Tamarod \u2014 Arabic for \u201crebellion\u201d \u2014 rapidly expanded from a petition drive into a full-blown grass roots political movement that is now challenging the Muslim Brotherhood and its radical Sunni Salafist allies in the north African country. It is calling for a long-term sit-in and boycotts of payment to the government for electricity, water, gas, taxes, and taxi fees. If Morsi refuses to step down, Tamarod proposes the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court serve as acting president until new elections can be held.<\/p>\n The demand was echoed by Egypt\u2019s military. On Monday, it issued a statement<\/a> warning it will take over the government if Morsi does not agree to step down.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in the United States, a number of petitions calling for the removal of Barack Obama from office \u2014 for violating the Constitution and waging illegal wars \u2014 have not only floundered, they have devolved into a corporate media joke and are dismissed as the meandering of extremists and lunatics.<\/p>\n Our petition<\/a> calling for Obama to resign posted on the \u201cWe the People\u201d website back on June 7 has so far received 26,000 signatures, far short of the 100,000 required to have it officially considered by the government. It now has less than a week to get more than 73,000 signatures.<\/p>\n A World Net Daily petition<\/a> urging Congress to impeach Obama for numerous \u201chigh crimes and misdemeanors\u201d has so far reached 106,000 signatures, a miniscule number in a nation of over 300 million people.<\/p>\n Polls consistently show Obama in negative popularity territory. \u201cThe Presidential Leadership Index fell to 43.2 from 48.9 a month earlier, the lowest since Obama took office. The 11.7% monthly decline also was his worst ever. It\u2019s the fourth straight reading below 50, signaling disapproval,\u201d reports Investors.com<\/a> today.<\/p>\n \u201cRevelations about the National Security Agency\u2019s surveillance of Americans\u2019 phone records and Internet activity dominated headlines over the past month. Meanwhile, more news came out of the IRS\u2019 targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite multiple scandals, millions of Americans either approve of Obama\u2019s performance or just don\u2019t give a damn (or more likely, are not paying attention enough to form an opinion), a situation that sends a strong message about the political situation in the United States.<\/p>\n It is not clear if Americans will ever care about what happens politically in the United States or if they will ever take definitive action against the government like the people of Egypt have done.<\/p>\n Of course, a lot of the impetus in Egypt is driven by poverty and the globalist wrecking ball, a situation that has yet to reach America to the degree it has reached Egypt and the third world.<\/p>\n A rising chorus of voices warn that it will soon enough. Unfortunately, those voices are more often than not ignored, or dismissed as alarmism by the establishment and the corporate media.<\/p>\n![\"egyptrevoultion\"](\"http:\/\/static.infowars.com\/bindnfocom\/2013\/07\/egyptrevoultion.png\")
<\/a>Egypt\u2019s Tamarod Campaign is an unprecedented petition drive calling for the impeachment of Mohamed Morsi. Tamarod claims to have more than 15 million signatures. That\u2019s 2 million more than voted for Morsi in last year\u2019s presidential elections. The Egypt Independent<\/a>, an English-language newspaper, claims the number is much higher \u2014 around 22 million signatures, a significant percentage of the nation\u2019s 82 million citizens.<\/p>\n
