    From: Jefferson, To: Congress

    To Congress, "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny" Thomas Jefferson "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" Thomas Jefferson "I can scarcely contemplate a more incalculable evil than the breaking of the Union into two or more parts." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792. ME 8:346 "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Thomas Jefferson less If you do not start listening to the people you may regret it. We are a much more civilized people in this day and age. If you do get thrown out of office just be thankful that you didn't serve over 100 years ago. You would probably have been tarred and feathered. At least now days you can go home and live in peace.
