More than a year into their effort
to confine their government
to the law,
which is embodied
in the constitution,
patriotic Americans came out again
all across the nation
for a Thursday afternoon
Tax Day Tea Party protest.
The gathering force of liberty,
inherent in the People,
will be heard
one way or another,
and it will keep America free.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not
warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit
of resistance?" --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain
occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often
be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at
all." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
