Famous Thomas Jefferson Quote 

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion
of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished
period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers
(adminstrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan
of reducing us to slavery."

by:
Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

So very timely as Obama assumes office in two weeks. America needs a reboot!
 -- Spence, Anchorage		 
And the tyranny of American citizens is quickening at lightening speed under the Obama nation. Thomas Jefferson, I implore you to visit your wisdom on the nation's citizens and leadership today! We are sinking fast into oppression; the economy is rapidly plunging us into catastrophic destruction, aided by our elected leaders in 2009! Our security and safety has been compromised due to the ignorance of American citizens and lack of responsible leadership in both parties!
 -- Nancy, Marion		 
Obama, Pelosi, do you hear? You may think we are mushrooms, to be kept in dark and fed manure, however, we are not and we see what's been gradually happening for years and now happening at lightening speed. I guarantee, Americans simply will not tolerate it. And thank you, Obama & Pelosi, for waking so many citizens up.
 -- Nathan, Columbus		 
It really amazes me to think that the founding fathers actually knew that we would travel down this road.
 -- Will, Oklahoma City		 
Excepting a few people like Ron Paul, where the hell are people like Jefferson when we need them now! I hope people will wake up and vote the bums out as soon as trhey get a chance, and I would implore everybody to put some thoghts into TERM LIMITS for Congress, stop these people getting entrenched, but also realize that the real control comes from bodies such as the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR). As JFK mentioned before they killed him, "the men behind the curtain" Come on folks, lets make America the shining beacon of light to the rest of the world that our country was born to be.
 -- David Anton, Riverside
