On April 19, 1775, the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Lexington and Concord, turning colonial resistance into open war. In this week’s blog, we look back at the day ordinary Americans took a stand that helped change history

“The government is the mafia masquerading as a human rights organization. The IRS is its street-corner muscle, the brass knuckles that instills fear to empty pockets.” — Dave Smith, comedian
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
“We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty” is a quote commonly incorrectly attributed to Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the writer of the Declaration of Independence.
I just read an email from Ron Paul about opposition to watering down the warrant requirement to use Section 702.
That’s why you need to call your U.S. Representative now and tell them to vote “NO” on H.R. 8035.
If there isn’t a warrant requirement, this bill needs to go down in flames!
I called and urge you to do the same. 702 is anti-freedom. If it’s important enough for them to “investigate” then they surely can convince a judge to give them a warrant. Argh!
