I'm going to start a Third Amendment Foundation!
We need to ensure that soldiers are not quartered in our private residences during peacetime!

This inalienable right cannot be infringed upon!

Laugh now. Once a Redcoat bursts into your house pointing his Baker Rifle at your head and plops down his rear on your couch, you'll realize the severity of this situation.

Is anyone else going to sign up to join the NAQA (National Anti-Quartering Association)? Or are you all too unpatriotic to do so?

1. I'm not too worried about the Redcoats.
Now the Blackwater thugs, that's different. :scared:

2. Then you can join my William Henry Harrison fan club.
Our ***best*** president EVER !!!

Did nothing wrong but give a long winded probably insufferably boring inaugural speech without proper outer wear, got sick and died 31 days later.

Gotta luv him.

3. I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude on this one.
I need more information.

While being quartered, will these Redcoats be assisting with household chores? Yardwork? Windows?

Will they chip-in when I order take-out Chinese food? Walk the dogs? Change the kitty-litter?

Please feel free to put me on NAQA's mailing list, so I can peruse the literature before making a decision.

Thanks in advance! :hi:


Oh, and K & R!

5. Are you one of those single-issue voters?

6. The Baker wasn't introduced to the British Army until 1800 . . .
I think all we have to worry about are muskets. ;)

And honestly, if a group of Chosen Men come dashing into MY house, I probably won't mind . . .
