Our country was founded on the political philosophies of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. We now have Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Barack Obama, John Kerry and Harry Reid.
The contrast is clear and frightening.
The founders of our nation fought and sacrificed to be free of subjection, control and bondage to the British government. But our current politicians are doing all they can to again enslave us, control us, silence us and limit us. It is time for "we the people" to stand up and take our country back. It is time for a revolution of will, involvement and effort.
