The military could find some of them, but never all of them. These cells would carry out totally independant attacks on government and military targets randomly (which is why I couldn't be directly involved: I don't kill people). Eventually the president and key government figures would go into hiding, martial law would be declaired, and things would get pretty bad for a while. Secret arrests and murders would turn many American citizens against the government, and then the rebelion would gain more and more support. Eventually it'll be a shrinking military vs. a very big rebelion. Then again, maybe the Republicans will grow balls and stand up to their BS leadership. One can only hope.

You're presupposing a level of organization that I just find impossible given the state of technology today and the level of surveillance that goes with it. I find it impossible to believe that a grass-roots rebellion could get to the level of sophistication that you're implying without the government swooping in and arresting the majority of the conspirators.
