Yes, we have to take back our representative democracy,
but to do that we have to remain free - and alive.
What they fear most, is that we’ll wake up and face the truth.
Don’t let them goad you into committing suicide.

We The People are America’s last line of defense.
Each “me” must stand up with the rest and be counted.
If we don’t hang together, they’ll hang us separately anyway.
Like Tom Paine, broadcast the truth. Shout it out.

“If that simple truth is that our government promotes a bi-partisan campaign of terror and planned genocide in the name of freedom, then we must clearly say that - no matter the personal cost of that ugly expression of truth.” - Peter Chamberlain

“It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.” - Thomas Paine

“To know truth is to have power. The news is what powerful people don’t want you to know. Everything else is just Public Relations.” - Bill Moyers

“Education makes a man unfit to be a slave.” - Frederick Douglass

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - Jesus of Nazareth
