Thomas Jefferson gave some great advice on how to handle a situation such as this.

I keep thinking of the Declaration of Independence...is there any way to follow through without bloodshed?

That's an odd question. The only blood I'm focused on is the blood of Christ Jesus, shed for my sin. But I don't think violence would be necessary if the number of people wanting change was great enough and clearly identified. That's why we have the illusion of representation in politics. It gives us a circus to watch and ensures there are never enough of any group to make any real change. Bread and circuses, as it were.
