Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first inaugural address, at the heart of the great depression:

I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impel. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. [1]

Today, we need to hear those words. Instead of listening to the warmongers crying out about terrorists, we need to sit back and listen to our hearts. Fear is driving us to accept as normal, things that would have been inconceivable ten years ago. A country that held impeachment hearings on a President’s private, sexual relations with an adult intern, refuses to question the criminal actions of a President who admits to bypassing congress time and time again, in violation of the law.

Are you are citizen who believes in liberty and self reliance, or are you willing to place all your rights into the hands of a mindless bureaucracy, led by self seeking individuals?

There is another quote you must remember. Part one states; “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”, but the second part of that statement is rarely included; “Great men are almost always bad men.” [2] Are you willing to trust your life, liberty and freedom to our current collection of great men, or would you rather trust in a Constitution and system of laws that has maintained those freedoms for over two hundred years?
