Words of Wisdom from Thomas Jefferson

Comment by H. RONALD (RON) HARTMAN on January 31, 2010 at 7:58am

Thomas Jefferson was the biggest hypocrite who ever walked the western hemisphere - with his grandiose estate of Monticello - all built on slave labor of slaves that he mainly inherited from his father-in-law. When he died in 1826, all these slaves that he never freed had to be sold to other slave-owners in order to try to pay off the massive debts he had run up on his grandiose lifestyle as a gentleman farmer, In contrast to Jefferson, his antagonist/rival/friend from the Revolution, John Adams, also died hours later on the 50th anniversary of July 4th, 1776 - at his farm in a 'suburb of Boston, Mass. Adams did not die as a pauper leaving massive debts and he ran his farm himself with his wife of 54 years Abigail, and their family - Adams lacked suave panache or finesse - he was like a bull in a china shop - Jefferson was the opposite .

Bring back the party of Adams - the Federal Party of the Americas - a strong but transparent central government - uniform laws in all 50 states - abolish all states' rights that was the undermining of the Civil War with Jim Crow laws - abolish the US Senate (the Billionaires Club of USA) and have one representative for every 100,000 registered voters - that serve 8-years terms subject to recall - and no more than 3 such terms - regardless of district represented. Abolish the Federal Reserve System set up in 1913 under the direction of J Pierpont Morgan as the bankers' bank and replace it with a Peoples'Bank - have true health care reform with universal coverage across the USA at uniform rates nationwide and no preexisting conditions being excluded - offering the same plans to all that are offered to all Federal employees and to members of Congress.

Completing the Second American Revolution

"A democratic process is the best way to grow men and women. It is he who does the thinking, who faces the problems, who makes the plans, who alone achieves both the growth and the happiness. Our present idea and practice of leadership reserve these supreme values to the leaders. Life has become, for a large number of people, pure drudgery. Men become "robots, " machines for executing other people's desires. The leaders grow, the individuals in the crowd decline."

"This critique does not rely upon any idealized notions of what democracy means, but on the elementary principles everyone recognizes. Accountability of the governors to the governed. Equal protection of the law, that is, laws that are free of political manipulation. A presumption of political equality among all citizens (though not equality of wealth or status). The guarantee of timely access to the public debate. A rough sense of honesty in the communication between the government and the people. These are not radical ideas, but basic tenets of the civic faith.
"Nor does this analysis pretend that American democracy once existed in some perfected form that now is lost. On the contrary, Americans have never achieved the full reality in their own history or even agreed completely on democracy's meaning. The democratic idea has always been most powerful in America as an unfulfilled vision of what the country might someday become - a society advancing imperfectly toward self-realization."


Greider. (1992). Who Will Tell the People?

Mr. Smith doesn't need to go to Washington; he and other American citizens need to complete the American Revolution and learn to refashion a government of, by, and for the people by training for a commonwealth. Mr. Smith and other citizens should look forward to the day when their skills are developed to the point that they can begin to make a difference in their community and their nation, taking back the government that's been stolen from them.

"The difficulty in securing democracy has been that more attention has been paid to defending it as a philosophy than to developing the methodology by which it could be made to function in life."

The Second American Revolution - We The People

We the People - The Articles of Freedom

On April 19, 2010, the Voice of Freedom will be heard across America like never before, as millions gather in every state to take back their Constitution. A resounding Plan for all those who are uneasy and anxious about the fate of America.

This is not the Hour for Summer Soldiers or Sunshine Patriots.

The action required of all Patriots is three-fold:

1) READ the Articles of Freedom and see how we can end the violations and restore Constitutional governance;

2) SIGN the Pledge, to hold elected officials accountable to the Constitution and to engage in civic action if millions of other People also take the Pledge, and

3) BE at your state capitol on Patriot's Day - April 19, 2010 to join with millions of others who, simultaneously in every state, will serve the Articles of Freedom on elected officials.

SUCCESS requires that tens of millions of Patriots, including the newest, SIGN the Articles of Freedom AND STAND side-by-side in their state capitals on April 19, 2010.

SUCCESS requires the PARTICIPATION of millions of Patriots, including the newer, from all 50 states, each doing a part of the work to mobilize those tens of millions of signers.

SUCCESS requires that thousands of Patriots, including the new, organize and guide the activities of those millions, state-by-state, county-by-county, town-by-town.

SUCCESS requires dozens of Patriots, including the old, doing the yeomans work to facilitate the Plan by designing and developing the resources needed by the Patriots to bring the Articles of Freedom and the Plan to the attention of everyone in America and to have at least 5% of Her People stand in defense of the Constitution on Patriots Day.

Here is what you can do, NOW!.

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

Thomas Paine, author of "Common Sense," returns to modern times to pleas for a second revolution to take back America, Now!

Published in 1776, "Common Sense" challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used spoke to the common people of America and was the first work to openly ask for independence from Great Britain.

THE PLATFORM OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

The Two American Revolutions "The difficulty in securing democracy has been that more attention has been paid to defending it as a philosophy than to developing the methodology by which it could be made to function in life."
