"Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law." --Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1819.
"I have such reliance on the good sense of the body of the people and the honesty of their leaders that I am not afraid of their letting things go wrong to any length in any cause." --Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 1788. (Thomas Jefferson never met George W. Bush or Barrack Obama, nor did he understand Biblical prophesy...:p)
"Whenever our affairs go obviously wrong, the good sense of the people will interpose and set them to rights." --Thomas Jefferson to David Humphreys, 1789. (Thomas Jefferson never counted on the "dumbing down" of Americans by the government rewriting history, which includes censoring his own comments and writings out of the history books.)
"Our fellow citizens have been led hoodwinked from their principles by a most extraordinary combination of circumstances. But the band is removed, and they now see for themselves." --Thomas Jefferson to John Dickinson, 1801. (The band has been placed back over the eyes of the country, especially those ignorant people who voted for Obama and thus are sending us into financial and moral ruin.)
"Manfully maintain our good old principle of cherishing and fortifying the rights and authorities of the people in opposition to those who fear them, who wish to take all power from them and to transfer all to Washington" (or Obama). --Thomas Jefferson to Nathaniel Macon, 1826.
