                      Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied

the previous failed attempts at government.  He understood actual

history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man.  That

happens to be way more than what most understand today.  Jefferson

really knew his stuff.  A voice from the past to lead us in the

future:

                      John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House

for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made

this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence

ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of

when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

                      “When we get piled upon one another in large

cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .”  --

Thomas Jefferson

                      “The democracy will cease to exist when you take

away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would

not.”

                     -- Thomas Jefferson

                     “It is incumbent on every generation to pay its

own debts as it goes.  A principle which if acted on would save

one-half the wars of the world.”

                      -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “I predict future happiness for Americans if

they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people

under the pretense of taking care of them.”  -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “My reading of history convinces me that most

bad government results from too much government.”  -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of

arms.”  -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “The strongest reason for the people to retain

the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect

themselves against tyranny in government.”

                      -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time

to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”  -- Thomas Jefferson

                      “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the

propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and

tyrannical.”

                      -- Thomas Jefferson

                     Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

                     “I believe that banking institutions are more

dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

                  If the American people ever allow private banks to

control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by

deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the

banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children

wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

                      I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!

                      I'm doing my part.  Please do yours......
