 O0  Bravo Zulu Ma'am  O0
For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

What a great write up! You're an inspiration to all 7Th steppers. Now if we would just copy, cut and paste, we could send letters to the editor everywhere.
Thank you for your efforts ~ Two Wolves
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Very nicely done!
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." — George Washington

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain (1835-1910)

"A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either." ~ Thomas Paine

 O0 to the lady vetch.
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

I have been meaning to tell you that since you wrote this, only days after we had about 4-5 emails asking about AS and those people all referred to hearing about it from your letter. Way to go!

    This is a great idea - because we can copy, cut and paste!

    I'd bet the most accolade you can pay LV is to send her LTE (modified as needed) to your own local paper, with your name and phone number on it.

    What a great idea, if hundreds of versions of it were faxed and emailed to local papers. It'd be like she is reaching thousands of readers, all for writing one letter!

     What about it, do-nothings? You heard the man, jump on in...

Great letter O0
I would guess the" Washington Times" or possibly President Reagans favorite newspaper "Human Events" would print the letter .

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Sounds like the start of a 'committee of correspondence'!
