The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First
Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the
government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The
Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms
until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you
have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI
agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no
right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances. -
Harry Browne

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect
liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to
freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by
evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
-- Justice Louis D. Brandeis - (1856-1941) US Supreme
Court Justice 1928 Source: Justice Louis D. Brandeis, dissenting,
Olmstead v. United States, 277 US 479 (1928)

"The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful
ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate
themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our
lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny." -- Michael Parenti - (1933- )

Take The Pledge
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following,
for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir
Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY
resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza until our
resources are invested in human needs and environmental protection
instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We will be
the beginning." http://october2011.org/welcome
