"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." - Thomas Jefferson 1820

"There is a growing technology of testing that permits us now to do in nanoseconds things that we shouldn't be doing at all." - Dr. Gerald Bracey author of Rotten Apples in Education

Call to Voters: "The Gift of Freedom's Fountain Flows for Me and You"



In celebration of November 2, here's a video from an overseas patriot..Trevor Loudon. He is the creator of the New Zeal blog from New Zealand. The title of this posting comes from a line of the song these third graders in Virginia are singing in celebration of the USA. Here's a bit of background on Loudon:

I'm a libertarian activist and political researcher from Christchurch New Zealand. I believe in freedom with responsibility, not freedom from responsibility. My ideal society is one in which government is confined to protecting its citizens from criminals and external enemies. I believe in working with all those who are moving in broadly the same direction.

It is your responsibility to vote on November 2. As the children sing in this song, freedom IS a gift. Don't take it for granted. It can easily be taken away.

In the event you witness some problems in the voting process or witness fraudulent practices, here's a phone number to call sponsored by Let Freedom Ring:

If you are a poll watcher, or notice fraud while you are voting, you may call
1-877-611-VOTE (8683).

The Project lists ramifications of the agendas being pushed through by the Department of Education.

Visit the Project's website often and if you don't live in Missouri, here's the link for the national organization and you can find your specific state:
