Thomas Jefferson I think was probably the smartest of our forefathers. He seemed to be the only one who spoke the truth about where this country was headed and what it would take for the citizens to maintain control of the government. And as we've seen, he was right. We've lost control. The ONLY time the citizens have had any say was when we all stood together and spoke out about an issue. We need to exercaise that 1st amendment right every time we can.
These people aren't smarter than us,they aren't better than us, they have no great insight as to what is needed in this country. They just had the contacts for big money to get themselves elected.
