Especially read  the last quote  from 1802.

When  we get piled
upon  one another in  large cities, as in Europe,
we  shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff109181.html


The  democracy will cease to exist
when  you take away from those
who  are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff122881.html


It  is incumbent on every
generation  to pay its own debts as it goes.
A  principle which if acted on would save
one-half  the wars of  the world.
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff136389.html


I  predict future happiness for
Americans  if they can  prevent the  government
from  wasting the  labors of the  people under the
pretense  of taking care of them.

Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff136410..html>   


My  reading of history convinces me
that  most bad government results from too much
government.
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www..brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff157220.html> 


No  free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff125076..html


The  strongest reason for the
people  to retain the  right to keep and bear arms
is,  as a last resort, to protect themselves
against  tyranny in government.
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff100991.html


The  tree of liberty must be
refreshed  from time to time with the blood of
patriots  and tyrants.
Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff109180.html


To  compel a man to subsidize with
his  taxes the  propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves  and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas  Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff157246..html


Thomas   Jefferson said in 1802:
'I  believe that
banking  institutions are more  dangerous to
our  liberties than  standing armies.
If  the American  people ever allow
private  banks to control the issue of their
currency,  first by inflation, then  by
deflation,  the banks and  corporations that will
grow  up around the  banks will deprive the people
of  all property - until  their  children
wake-up  homeless on the  continent their  fathers
conquered.'

      I  WISH WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO  EVERYONE!!!

Today, I want to make a difference.
Here I am Lord, use me!
