Hi, I wanted to pick special quotes from mostly our founding fathers to share with the public.
I hope to show true inent of the founding fathers of this great nation. I've picked quotes that i think havent seen the light of day since their times as much as other quotes and i feel they are even more direct of their intentions of not just are right to arms, But also that they had intentions of all americwns to be trained from early age and up as marksman. And also the importance of vigilance of true patriots. I hope all enjoy and have a better understanding so we can call out Ignorant people with the knowledge truths when they call gun supporters things like right wing extremist ect.. because this is what were founded on. With Honor i am proud to bring you some of the best quotes from our founing fathers and others. Here they are:
1) "I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence ... I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This DIFFERENCE is ASCRIBED to our SUPERIORITY in TAKING AIM WHEN WE FIRE; Every Soldier in our Army Having Been INTIMATE WHITH HIS GUN FROM HIS INFANCY ."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778
2) "A militia when PROPERLY FORMED are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, AND BE TAUGHT ALIKE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUNG , HOW TO USE THEM."
- Richard Henry Lee, January 25, 1788
3) "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, TRAINED TO ARMS, is the BEST and most Natural Defense of a Free Country."
- James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
4) "The Constitution shall never be CONSTRUED to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
5) "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
6)"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785
7)"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
8)"On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823
9) "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759"
10) "I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers."
- George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788
11) "Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788
12) "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."
- Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778
13) "For it is a truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 25, December 21, 1787
14)"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
* special note: This is what they are doing in our populated cities NOW! They are taking their gun rights away there first because the big cities are the majority of the populous. While not as big a priority going after the rural areas at this time because their less popluated.
15)"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are UNIVERSALLY IGNORANT , and DEBAUCHED in their MANNERS, They will Sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.” ― Samuel Adams
16)"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
17) "How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!” ― SamuelAdams
18) "Fireams stand next in importance of the Constitution itself.
They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence.” -General Washington
19)"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed — unlike the citizens of othe counties
whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. -James Madison
20) "No man shall ever be de-barred their use of arms,The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, at last resort,
to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson
21) "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established,
should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly,
all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer
while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to
reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is
their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for
their future security." Thomas Jefferson
22)"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." -Thomas Jefferson
23)"America will never be destroyed from outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln
24) "If you will not fight for the right when you
can easily win without bloodshed, if you will
not fight when your victory will be sure and
not so costly, you may come to the moment when
you will have to fight with all the odds against
you and only a precarious chance for survival.
There may be a worse case. You may have to fight
when there is no chance of victory, because it is
better to perish than to live as slaves." ~ Winston Churchill
25) "In the beginning of change, the Patriot is a scarce man; brave, hated and
scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it
costs nothing to be a patriot" -Mark Twain
26) "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt
27) "It is in the interest of a tyrant to keep his people poor,
so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and
be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion." -Aristotle
28)"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations,
the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic." -D. James
29) "
31)"
33) "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” -Thomas Jefferson - 3rd US President

men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism
and religious dogmas." -G. Brock Chisholm, co-founder of the World Federation for Mental Health,
former director of UN World Health Organization
35) "Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin (1977-1983) who speaking
of the Jews stated boldly, "Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serveus as our slaves." - Menachem Begin.
36) "It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter to which we will
henceforth pledge our allegiance."
George Herbert Walker Bush, Speech at the UN, February 1, 1992
37) "The man who reads nothing at all is BETTER EDUCATED than the man who reads nothing but NEWSPAPERS." -Thomas Jefferson (1743 -1826)
38)"A TRUE PATRIOT does not confuse government with country. A patriot’s loyalty is to his country, and loyalty to country requires holding government accountable. -- Paul Craig Roberts
39) "A government big enough to give you everything you want, Is strong enough to take everything you have.......... -Thomas Jefferson (1743 -1826)
40) "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do
that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about
American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and
the Americans know it." —Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001, to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.
41) "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

46) "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-Thomas Jefferson
47) "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years....It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller - Bilderberg Meeting - June 1991 - Baden, Germany
48) "Thomas Jefferson said, "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution." --Thomas Jefferson
*Special Note: our government trys to hold it self accountable either though committee investigations or independent investigations which barely ever prosecutes anyone. We need A TRIAL BY JURY EVERY TIME.
49)'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.' -Mark Twain
50)John F. Kennedy speech on secret societies--"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed."No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers-- I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed-- and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First (emphasized) Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution-- not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.This means greater coverage and analysis of international news-- for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security... -John F. KENNEDY
THANKS IF YOU MADE IT THROUGH THIS VERY IMPORTANT TRUTHFUL KNOWLEDGE OF QUOTES.

For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers-- I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed-- and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First (emphasized) Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution-- not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.This means greater coverage and analysis of international news-- for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security... -John F. KENNEDY
