When future historians write about this period in history |

with progressivism on its death bed, what will they say about you? Will they say you fought back? The time for all of you to act is here, it cannot be deferred. Keep the phone lines occupied, show up in district offices, join groups that are carrying on the fight to preserve the structures progressives put in place that once made this country a economic powerhouse with a high standard of living. Do it or never complain again at what politicians in Washington have done.

It was in my father's lifetime that prohibition was passed.
Imagine the mindset which made that many people do such a ridiculous thing.
I know one old guy who says we didn't give prohibition a fair chance!
These same people are now grandparents who taught their kids what they believed in and are teaching their grandkids today.
That's what we're up against.

"Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great war?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."
Applies to all who keep silent, continue to sit on their hands, or look the other way. They serve the neo-feudalists, the enemies of democracy.
