Thought it was appropriate to post one of the most influential speeches in American history. It'll be 227 years tomorrow.

Obviously a dangerous, right-wing fanatic... let's hope the CIA is keeping an eye on this Henry fellow.

Another oldie but goodie might be On the Right to Rebel Against Governors, an Election Day Sermon by Samuel West

You'll find various others here, and many historical documents as well.

Chills down my spine bump! Thanks. Copy printed for eldest daughter's edification.

What's with the copywrite stuff? If this speech isn't in the public domain then the Bible could be in trouble too!

This speech should be given in Hebrew. in the Knesset, tomorrow. This is powerful language, in the service of powerful ideas.

"Greater than the tread of mighty armies, is an idea whose time has come."
