WEARECHANGENASHVILLE SAVANNAH STRIKES BACK
Savannah of http://wearechangenashville.com/ deserves full credit for this post. Actually, she is my first guest writer ever on TNSONSOFLIBERTY....
My English professor corrected my paper today, she pointed out that our founding fathers did not intend for the people to have the power. The sad thing is, she's not joking.. although I had to laugh. What is America today? America is simply not America anymore. Although corporate media does an excellent job of disguising this. To the average American, nothing is wrong. Give them their sitcoms (that the government has announced they are infiltrating with propaganda) and a beer and they are satisfied. This is not what the founders ever intended to occur. This is how corruption takes foothold, how tyranny and oppression originate.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be." Today our nation does expect to be ignorant and free.. freedom is expected, not defended.. Apathy has infiltrated every corner of our nation.. and it is time that it is replaced with vigilance. This upcoming week is going to be a landmark time in American history. It will be a time that my generation will look back upon one day.. and think either "that was the day oppression gained control.." or "that was the day tyranny was defeated, and America's ideals preserved."
To the untrained eye of the American public, universal healthcare may sound like a brilliant idea.. but there's simply one problem.. plain and simply, it is inefficient, ineffective, and it simply defies everything that this free country was built on. If a healthcare plan was so excellent, so profound.. why does it have to be MANDATED amongst it's citizens?? Why can congress opt out of this spectacular healthcare plan? Putting all other issues aside, there is one thing tremendously wrong with this healthcare plan. This cannot be summed up more eloquently than in the words of Texas Rep. Ted Poe during the healthcare debates in House. "This bill is about government control, it's not about choice. It's oppression, it is not about liberty. The Constitution starts out with we the people.. if this bill passes let's scratch out we the people and write in the phrase we the subjects of big government." So America, this is your choice. Will we continue fighting for the ideals our founding fathers so adamantly fought for? Or will we allow big brother to take over ever facet of our lives until there is nothing left?
It is your choice.

great article. Our options are quite simple actually, we can choose liberty or tyranny, and as long as I am still breathing I will be fighting for our liberty. Thomas Jefferson said "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." and that's what we should all strive to do.
