It is clear that the federal government no longer has our best interest at heart but instead their own best interest and power.


"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or 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."

Original draft of the U.S. Declaration of Indepence, written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776

"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing"
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed now and then with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787
