"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
Thomas Jefferson.

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion."
Thomas Jefferson
