GEORGE WASHINGTON STATED

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth.



First Inaugural Address of George Washington...April 30, 1789

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"In this age, and in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it nothing can suceed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."

James Madison Declared

The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE. (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p.294; emphasis added.)

A Sad State of Affairs

According to a poll conducted by Stanford University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, about 75% of those polled want someone else to pay for their health insurance premiums. Could it be true that 75% of Americans are ignorant enough to truly believe in "a free lunch". The group they have chosen to pay the tab for them are the "rich". That would include anyone that makes more than $500,000 a year but there is also talk of lowering that income level to $250,000 a year. Remember something; what big government can give it can always take away. In years to come the "rich" may become the middle class as more and more funds are needed to fund all the "give away" programs and entitlements promised by your elected Congress. You will become the "rich" by Congressional definition and you will be paying for some one's "free lunch". This is a financially suicidal scenario and will only lead to complete collapse of our economic system and maybe our country itself. Stop the madness of "spend-spend-spend" in Washington. If it continues it will be cheaper to wallpaper your walls with dollar bills than with wallpaper.
