That is why it is important to keep writing and communicating. The Internet now provides a way for our ideas to spread like wildfire for the benefit of Americans.
Andrew Breitbart saw that opportunity just as did Jefferson when he was President.
President Thomas Jefferson of Virginia would have been comfortable with the internet.
My favorite quote by President Thomas Jefferson, who would have been at home with the internet is as follows:
"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move,and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation.
