Quote from Phil Trieb,


"[I]f we won’t choose to pay the price of liberty, then by default we shall suffer the cost of servitude—whether it be the iron chains of a tyrannical oligarchy or the regulatory chains of unelected, faceless bureaucrats. When we witness our neighbors abused by tyrants, will we skulk away and hope we’re not next? Or will we stand by them and challenge—as freedom-loving Americans—the tyranny of lawless leaders."
