. . . . . . . . . America Needs New Patriots!! . . . . .

"Whenever our affairs go obviously wrong, the good sense of the people will interpose and set them to rights. . . .A good citizen should take his stand where the public authority marshals him. . . It behooves our citizens to be on their guard, to be firm in their principles, and full of confidence in themselves. We are able to preserve our self-government if we will but think so. . . .

Public offices were [not] made for private convenience. [The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government. . . [It is] the people, to whom all authority belongs. . .

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere."

--Thomas Jefferson
