Operation American Spring (#AmericanSpring)
“American Spring” has been mentioned infrequently since at least early 2011, after the Arab Spring revolutions that began in December 2010. The Twitter term #AmericanSpring became popular in April 2014, after Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy fought with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and retained the right to his cattle.
Patriots for America began organizing since December 2013 for an event called “Operation American Spring” to take place in Washington, D.C., on May 16, 2014.
Wikipedia: Bundy standoff
A 20-year legal dispute between the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and cattle rancher Cliven Bundy in southeastern Nevada over unpaid grazing fees eventually developed into an armed confrontation between protesters and law enforcement. The dispute began in 1993 when Bundy refused to pay bills to the US government for his cattle grazing on federal lands near Bunkerville, Nevada. Bundy was eventually prohibited from grazing his cattle on the land by an order issued in 1998 by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada in United States v. Bundy. After years of repeated violations of multiple court orders, the BLM rounded up Bundy’s cattle that were trespassing on the land. A growing incident ensued in early April, 2014 involving sign-carrying protesters and armed supporters of Bundy confronting law enforcement who were protecting the ongoing cattle roundup in the area. The BLM suspended its roundup of the cattle, and the protesters eventually dispersed.

Operation American Spring said that it envisions 10 to 20 million Americans committed to reforming the government, and, according to a group spokesperson, may meet or exceed that goal.
OAS says it is modeled after the Arab Spring that saw regime change in Egypt, along with other successful, popular, and massive demonstrations against oppressive bureaucracies.
