Excessive taxation is always the mechanism to impoverish citizens to maintain their own ‘elitist’ status of wealth, power, & control ...
Tariffs, alone, funded the federal gov b4 the FEDERAL RESERVE infiltration
Property taxes makes us Tenets (renters) on our own land

We must seek & teach our children wisdom from our forefathers.
They fought against, what we in our ignorance continue to allow, because we’ve failed our REPUBLIC by allowing JESUS to be stripped from our public arena by deception, lies, & their interpretation of our CONSTITUTION

“For it is a truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in the possession of those, of whom, they entertain the least suspicion."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 25, Dec 21, 1787

We are a peaceful ppl, but when all avenues of recourse have been exhausted, it is our obligation & duty for the security of our posterity to STAND, TAKE UP OUR ARMS & REMOVE DOMESTIC ENEMIES to defend our
CONSTITUTION REPUBLIC, which is GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRYMEN

“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties... con’t

...of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."

“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…

“On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text,... cont

... or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823

Interpret Constitution as written, not according to personal bias, because as written, it secures rights of ALL CITIZENS

Our founding fathers left us a rich extensive history of wisdom, truths, & common sense in their writings, & all has been stripped from our ‘public’ education to erase our founding principles of life, liberty, & property from our progeny...we must restore this profound history.

”A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature,... cont.

...are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785
