Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush,
April 21, 1803

"It behooves every man who values
liberty of conscience for himself,
to resist invasions of it
in the case of others;
or their case may,
by change of circumstances,
become his own."

A Constitutional Republic,
can Only remain viable,
when the common people are aware
of how the legal system is
supposed to work and put
forth the effort necessary to
MAKE it work for
their fellow Citizens.

None of the words above are mine,
they are the words
and thoughts of others:
They are However,
MY same ideals.

This gives me Heart to go on,
as I know I am NOT alone in the Struggle.
Maybe it is like Diogenes with his Lamp,
wondering the Earth in Darkness,
looking for Honesty.
I believe that,
in the TPLU group and
a number of folks in other groups,
I have found/located/come into
working relationship with others
of the Same ideas.

E PLURIBUS UNUM,
Dwight R./TPLU
