Government must defend us against INVASION by others” -U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4. “It is a sad day in America when the law-makers side with the law-breakers against the law-abiding.” Ezola Foster – (VP candidate – 2000) “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke (1729-1797) “In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned. When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him…for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” -Mark Twain “While we slept, the United States was stolen.” – author unknown “We can transform bleak and desolate valleys into sunlit paths of joy, and bring new light into the dark caverns of pessimism.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
