William A. Cook: A Personal Declaration of Independence...

“I refuse to accept as my government actions by the current administration and its obsequious servants, the Republican Congress and the Republican Senate.”

Cindy Sheehan: Lift Your Head...

“It is now the time to stand up and be counted and tell this out of control government of ours that we are withdrawing our consent to be governed by them.”

“Now is the time to rise up. Now is the time to lift our heads and refuse to be bowed by war criminals. Now.”

William Rivers Pitt: In Case I Disappear...

America is an idea, a dream, and that is all. We have borders and armies and citizens and commerce and industry, but all this merely makes us like every other nation on this Earth. What separates us is the idea, the simple idea, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are our organizing principles. We can think as we please, speak as we please, write as we please, worship as we please, go where we please. We are protected from the kinds of tyranny that inspired our creation as a nation in the first place.

That was the idea. That was the dream. It may all be over now, but once upon a time, it existed. No good idea ever truly dies. The dream was here, and so was I, and so were you.
