"Those gentlemen, who will be elected senators, will fix themselves in the federal town, and become citizens of that town more than of your state."
-- George Mason (speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 14 June 1788)
Reference: The Debates of the Several State..., Elliot, vol. 3 (405)

Truth never goes out of style. I post these because I hope to remind anyone and everyone of our indescribable legacy as Americans, that we may possess not merely the convictions of our founders, not merely their courage, wisdom, and integrity, but that we may engage ourselves in our time with fervor as equal to and surpassing to our challenges as theirs was to their own.
Thanks for the ping ;)
thanks for the support ;).
