We need a quote for AMERICA.

We need a quote that will be repeated and resound throughout the country. We've just had a sitting President endorse blatant violations of the 4th amendment and justify it with 9/11. Where is our quote? Where is the Democrat who rises and says, "Who watches the watchmen"? If I held office, I would have called a press conference and said this:

Using the deaths of Americans to erode the rights of their survivors betrays their memory, betrays our country, and betrays its ideals. 9/11 must no longer be used as an excuse to violate our freedoms. We cannot preserve America by becoming something other than America. We cannot protect liberty by abandoning it. George Bush has knowingly and willingly ignored the 4th Amendment of the Constitution and betrayed his oath of office with his actions. America must respond.

Get active, do something! If there is a particular Congressional or Senatorial candidate that you feel strongly about, help him or her out by volunteering for the campaign. It's easy and costs no money, unless you choose to give some. See, the more active you are, the more the candidate may listen to what you have to say.

"Those who would trade their freedom for security, deserve neither." - Benjamin Franklin

then violated the First and Fourth Amendment. His administration is therefore illegitimate and needs to be removed.

What part of obeying laws does bushco NOT get?

"If the government takes our freedoms, the terrorist have won" Simple and to the point.

Americans have a very short attention span, so brevity and repetition are the keys. :toast:

or any and all?

If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
Samuel Adams

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
Patrick Henry

We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts--not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
Abraham Lincoln

It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government."
Thomas Paine

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
Daniel Webster

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

A "War on Freedom"

Somehow we have to break this Republican/Democratic divide.

Here is the quote:

"America has never gone to war to protect our lives. We've gone to war to protect our Freedoms.
Give us Liberty, or give us Death. That is what it means to be an American."
