Great men of history have warned against the very things that are happening in America today. They foresaw the dangers of the electorate becoming complacent and allowing the government to become all powerful. They were wise men who knew that too much power in the hands of a few always leads to corruption in government. That's the situation we have in our country now, we have allowed our government to become our master, something our founding fathers never intended to happen in America. I urge you to take the time to not just read the following quotes and then forget about them. Instead please contemplate on them and ask yourself if WE THE PEOPLE can afford to continue to do nothing as America is being systematically destroyed from within before our blinded eyes. ---Mary Jones
I think nearly all adult Americans realize there is something very wrong in our country today, but they feel powerless to do anything about it. Countless thousands have lost their jobs as more and more American companies have moved to other countries where labor is much cheaper. Thousands more have lost their jobs because of the tremendous influx of illegal Mexican immigrants who will work for less pay.
Homeowners, in ever increasing numbers, have had to abandon their homes because they can no longer make the mortgage payments, due in large part to the unscrupulous loan practices of many banks and mortgage companies. Drug use is rampant, especially among the youth of America, and the crime rate continues to grow with each passing year. Same sex marriage is slowing gaining acceptance in mainstream America, and legal abortions are snuffing out the lives of approximately 4,000 babies every day. The men and women we elect to work forus us in Washington D.C. are instead working against us, and are in fact paving the way to the ultimate demise of this once great Christian nation. It has become commonplace to hear Christians described as poor uneducated people who are out of touch with reality, behind the times, unenlightened, self righteous, bigoted, etc. The skyrocketing price of food and gasoline, and just about everything else, is making it increasingly difficult for millions of Americans to make their paychecks last until the next one comes, and many are having to do without badly needed medications because they too have undergone a drastic increase in price. It is a FACT, not a MYTH, that America, as a free and sovereign nation, will be a thing of the past in the not too distant future if it is merged with Canada and Mexico into what will be known as the North American Union. The American dollar, which is becoming more worthless every day, will become extinct, and will be replaced by a common currency known as the amero. There will
be no borders between these three countries and millions more will be streaming into America, most in search of the American dream. Others will come to peddle illegal drugs, and still others will come as terrorists, determined to do whatever it takes to bring Ame
rica to her knees. Needless to say the more immigrants that come to America the greater the jobless rate will increase for Americans, especially among the poor and middle class, and the already financially troubled Social Security system and Medicare will almost certainly go broke. All of these things are being forced upon WE THE PEOPLE of America against our will, we have no say anymore in what our government does. it's like we don't even exist. But instead of coming together and fighting to take back our country while there may still be a chance to save it, we are just sitting back and letting it happen. It's like we have resigned ourselves into believing there is nothing we can do, that what is to be will be. The most important election in the history of our nation will take place this year. If ever there was a time we need to let our voices be heard loud and clear to those seeking our vote that time is NOW! We need to let them know that we are sick and tired of their broken promises and outright lies. We need to let them know in no uncertain terms we're tired of corruption in ALL levels of our government. The presidential candidates have already been chosen, and all we can do now is pray that the best man wins in November. But we need to remember that a President can do little without the support of Congress. As voters WE THE PEOPLE have not only the right but the duty to demand that the men and women we elect to the House and Senate stop lying to us to get our vote. I personally believe we should insist they sign an affidavit vowing to keep the promises they make to us. Let them know in the strongest of terms that THEY work for US, and if they don't keep their promises they will be voted out of office after one term. And be sure to follow through with your ultimatum if the need be.
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
"Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
"Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience."
"If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted, laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish purposes. Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws, the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded."
"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men"
"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men"
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day":
"The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing as a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."
Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear, kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour, with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and thus clamorous to be led to safety by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
"Find out just what people will quietly submit to, and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
We do have a conspiracy among the highest levels of corporate and political power to crush all borders, all labor unions, and all resistance by the electorate to stop the plundering of this nation. Our government, once highly adored both domestically and internationally, is now a literal puppet to those who only want to make money...billions upon billions of it, at the cost of the integrity and unity of the USA."
"Today we need a nation of Minutemen, who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily lives, and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis"
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle"
"If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual."
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
"Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws." "It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his people poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion."
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. "
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Our Founding Fathers designed our system of government in the form of a constitutionally limited republic with minimum government control or interference into our personal lives and business affairs. They didn't have in mind some gigantic federal bureaucracy with all this power and control regulating our lives and our businesses. They had in mind a federal government that would abide by the Tenth Amendment. It was small, it had limited powers, it took care of national events, and it defended our borders. It maintained the army and issued national currency. And all the rest of the rights and responsibilities, they said, belonged to the states and the people."
Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..."
