Dancing with the Stars - Jeffersonian Style - UPDATE

                            

The Police State of America says we can't dance at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.  "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." – Thomas Jefferson

America's Founding Father and Third President, Thomas Jefferson said a lot of great things but I have chosen a few quotes for this occasion:

America's Founding Father and Third President, Thomas Jefferson said a lot of great things but I have chosen a few quotes for this occasion:

"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits." 

"Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence."

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."

"When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."

"The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good."

"Come dance with us! You don't have to risk arrest, you can dance on the steps outside in support or join us in civil disobedience in the memorial!  The dancing will commence at EXACTLY 12pm! Saturday, June 4th"

"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."
- Thomas Jefferson

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it."- Abraham Lincoln"

"Resistance to tyranny is service to God." – James Madison 

"You can keep your enemy's army busy by giving it work to do." - Sun Tzu
