Famous quotes in literature point to the inherent perils of the general lack of interest in governing the very government created to serve it’s people.

It is time to take action, to arouse from splendid slumber and the familiar comforts of a ‘business as usual’ mentality; otherwise, we risk waking from the daydream to find our country has crossed the line from which there is no returning.

This isn’t the trial run before we get to make it right- it is the final draft in the chapter of your life. How will you play out your role in this story?

The Quotes:

“The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining…and unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away….
- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, 1837”

I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.
- Andrew Jackson

Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that… the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.
- Andrew Jackson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
-Thomas Jefferson

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe
-Thomas Jefferson

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.’
-Thomas Jefferson
