Thomas Paine wrote the first edition of Common Sense in 1776 bringing into focus the sovereignty of the people, written constitutions and effective checks and balances in government. Today these principles are under attack by each branch and both parties. This was a government to be of, by, and for the people, but now seems it has become a mob of self centered, power monopolizing, mi-optic half-wits that think we are all sheeple who will follow without question. They need to think again!

Words of Thomas Jefferson
"The democracy as we have come to know it will cease to exist when the Government takes from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not."
An American that looks around today and wonders what became of the philosophies of our Founding Fathers who stood up to give us this great country and all of the freedoms that come with it in the U.S. Constitution.
