Surely you're ignoring the most obvious peaceful solution: vote to change those running the government. If a strong majority of the nation is no longer happy with the government, and they care about it enough to do anything, they have a peaceful, legal and constitutional way to change it. Even the Constitution itself is amendable if the people are sufficiently unhappy with it.
The trouble with this is that for any revolution, peaceful or by force, a sufficient number of recognised people need to be united under one banner. The reason this hasn't happened peacefully with the abuses most people see from the government is that the extremists get all the press.

I honestly don't see a peaceful revolution ever happening in America. The wide swath of moderates making up most of the country won't have a unified leadership until the establishment has gone too far to make the legislative process useful.
