Go here. Read this; it is a wake up call that our freedom of speech is endangered. This is from the WASHINGTON TIMES. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Ben Franklin and Thomas Mann would be puking their guts up that we have allowed this to progress this far. I am frightened.

Remember, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

If you do not like the way things are playing out. Act now. Sign petitions, call radio stations, write letters to the editor of your local paper and to your elected officials and speak your thoughts and fears to others to alert them of potential dangers.
Act now, before it could be considered a crime to speak out.


I paid attention in school. I remember these words from the Declaration of Independence. At times like this, I can see why we were made to memorize them. They rest well in the heart and memory whenever we see abuses of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and liberties.

From The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It's time for Santa pictures and the dogs aren't happy at all. Shadow wishes he'd joined the French Foreign Legion instead of opting for a career as a companion animal.
