“Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution.
And after all the student rebellions in the sixties, civics was banished from the student curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the government – nobody knows what’s in it…
And so, if you don’t know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don’t know what’s in the document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?” Frank Zappa

“1) The Declaration of Independence says it is our DUTY to remove government that is abusive and despotic – we definitely have very long list of their abuses to justify such removal!
2) The Constitution directs that federal money be spent to provide for the good of all, but for decades corrupt Congress has issued federal money to enrich themselves and their criminal buddies. ROUND UP CONGRESS to face charges – dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, war crimes and more.
3) At every chance we must declare to the lying inhumane sociopaths in power that WE DO NOT CONSENT to what they are doing! Look up “consent of the governed” – we must UNITE with this message to remove the corrupt liars.”

“Means Testing Is Inhumane, Divisive, and Very Bad Politics”
“The problem with Build Back Better isn't that its vision is too grand. On the contrary. Millions of people in this country are facing eviction. Millions more—with and without health insurance—can't afford medical care. People are dying, going hungry, and doing without shelter.”
