Sam Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms ... " -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Pierce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)

Snowden a Patriot , Editorial in Spokesman-Review, Saturday, June 22, 2013


Who's a traitor and who's a patriot? Dianne Feinstein is accusing Edward Snowden of treason.
Snowden and the British news organization The Guardian, broke open the story that some people whom We the People have trusted, have betrayed that trust by brushing aside the 4th Amendment and treating all Americans as guilty by spying on US.

"Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is outraged that Edward Snowden has exposed the National Security Administration’s snooping into the private communications of the American people and wants him tried for treason. "[However, we see this statement by] Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden: “A senator’s job is to engage in oversight in what the government is doing. When the American people learn how Section 215 of the Patriot Act is interpreted (by NSA), they will be shocked and angry.”

"The Obama administration faced fresh anger Monday at home and abroad over U.S. spy programs that track phone and Internet messages around the world in the hope of thwarting terrorist threats. But a senior intelligence official said there are no plans to end the secretive surveillance systems."
