So, I want you to get up now.
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
I want you to get up right now and go to the window,
open it, and stick your head out and yell,
“I’m as mad as hell,
and I’m not going to take this anymore!!”
Freedom over Tyranny!
I’d rather die on my feet than to live on my knees.
Note: I am not to big on the swastika photoshopped on to the Obama icon. Although one could argue that some parallels could be drawn between the two, Obama is no Hitler.

October 27, 2009 access was denied by a group attempting to deliver petitions to the US Senate.
“Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the people … to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
— from the First Amendment
In clear violation of the First Amendment, the elitists in charge dismiss the grievances of the people.
Some history
On July 4, 1776, the country’s Founders adopted a famous statement of principles and list of grievances, declaring that:
“In every state of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
……
As Justice John Paul Stevens stressed in his dissent in Minnesota Board for Community Colleges, “The First Amendment was intended to secure something more than an exercise in futility.” The petition clause ensures that our leaders hear, even if they don’t listen to, the electorate. Though public officials may be indifferent, contrary, or silent participants in democratic discourse, at least the First Amendment commands their audience.
We are not slaves to be ruled over by masters, our representatives are servants of the people. They are not nobility, we are not their subjects.
A rude awakening is in their not so distant future. The high horses they ride will soon all be lame, shot from underneath them.
Conservative girl next door. I am a pissed off red head.
Fear my wrath, or come along for the ride. Choose your side.
Free will, truth and the freedom of speech are my weapons of choice.
"...But if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy."

I will not submit.
I will not surrender.
