“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

We Are The 53%


"My husband worked on a drilling rig 12 hrs a day for 301 of 365 days last year in the heat & cold to provide for our family.  The petroleum he helped produced created the INK for your protest signs, the STRINGS for your guitars, the contacts and glasses you need to watch your speakers, the ICE CHESTS that hold your organic milk, the black nail POLISH you are wearing, the rubber tires on your bikes and the soles of your protesting shoes, the TARPS & TENTS you are sleeping under, the CAMERAS you use to capture images of police brutality, and the port-o-cans you are demanding from the city.  Even the microphones you use to condemn the evil Oil Companies, banks, & corporations are made from petroleum.  The pensions you expect contain 27% of oil stocks.  So until you're willing to A) Do my husband's job or B) give up your iPhone for a goat & cotton tent -- Go home you HYPOCRITES.  WE ARE THE 53%"
