(mostly) Jefferson Quotes

Posted on December 22, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

Ran across this tonight: These quotes are mostly attributed to Thomas Jefferson, a man deeply distrustful of strong government — and with good reason. His words are worth consideration for every generation.

“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.”

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

“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

Congressional Reform Act of 2009

Posted on December 20, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

*THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!*
The proposal is to promote a “Congressional Reform Act of 2009.” It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (but not the incumbants).
—
1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

2. No Tenure / No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

Bryson’s Nose Incident

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

Amber had only left 45 seconds when the incident ocured. Bryson managed to to knock himself in the nose with the laundry basket hard enough to get a bloody nose. He had asked me before he climbed in the basket, so I felt like I was 100% responsible! I think we handled it pretty well, and now we know the dangers of the laundry basket.
