I have personally traveled to Pennsylvania, visited Independence Hall and stood in the very spot Benjamin Franklin told the people outside the Hall after signing the Constitution, " You now have a Republic, it is up to you whether you keep it."
That is a powerful statement and as of today, we have kept it, but are only a few more bills and amendments away from losing it if we continue to stay passive as our own Government and World Leaders move aggressively to a One World System. Here are a few other quotes from Thomas Jefferson regarding our monetary system from 200 years ago.
Read them carefully and think about how they relate to our current credit, debt and finances.
Also, be honest in your answer, how much of our sovereign identity have we already lost?
Thomas Jefferson
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, letter to Robert Skipwith, Aug. 3, 1771
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, Notes on Virginia
When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, attributed, The Quotable Founding Fathers
Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, letter to Colonel Vanmeter, Apr. 27, 1781
That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
