Thomas Jefferson

"We must make our choice between economy and liberty or confusion and servitude...If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labor and in our amusements...if we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy."--Thomas Jefferson


"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. "
--John Quincy Adams
US diplomat & politician (1767 - 1848)

“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation”
-James Madison at the Virginia Ratification Debates
"With respect to the words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."

- James Madison's Letter to James Robertson, April 20, 1831

FOLLOW UP: Get Rid of It All

Steve,

Thanks for the comment. Here is one example (if you didn't get this already) of something going on: http://www.ctresistance.com/ . I will post these events as I get them from now on and you do the same if you hear of any.

Please continue to view my blog and comment. Also, consider signing up to "Follow" the blog to get updates on new posts. And pass the link on to other like minded Conservatives anywhere (not just CT)!

Finally, look for letters by me published in the Norwich Bulletin "Letters" section starting this week!

Thanks again,
Brian
