"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

Thomas Jefferson

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

Looking to the future if we intend to make a difference we must include more in our focus than the elections of the political players.  We must pay attention to the legislation that is under consideration expecially as it comes up for votes and equally important are any treaties that may come up for Senate ratification.

We must be on the lookout for Presidential Executive Orders that usurp power from the Congress and in those instances demand that the Congress take action to restrain incursions and enforce the balance of power according to the Constitution.

Listed below on this page are links for the contact information for your Congressman/woman and your US Senators, please use them.  It is important that we maintain a conversation with our representatives to make our views known.

A silent citizenry are but slaves to the government as our Republic is such that for free men to remain so they must remain vigilant and exercise their voice.  Who decides?  We do!

"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country."

--Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

 --Thomas Paine, The American Crises, No. 1, 1776

"We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the earth. Our government has no power except that granted to it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed."

--Ronald Reagan

"No morn ever dawned more favorable than ours did; and no day was every more clouded than the present! Wisdom, and good examples are necessary at this time to rescue the political machine from the impending storm."

 --George Washington, letter to James Madison, 1786

"To get the inestimable good that freedom of the press assures one must know how to submit to the inevitable evil it gives rise to."

--Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others."

--Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 34, 1788
