Where the government...

The above quote has been attributed to Thomas Jefferson. However, these exact words can be found nowhere within any of his writings. Monticello.org gives these brief helpful 
comments.
Comments: One source attributes this quotation to Jefferson in The Federalist.4 The Federalist, however, was the work of Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, not Thomas Jefferson; nor does The Federalist contain the text of this quotation. This quotation is vaguely similar to Jefferson's comment in an 1825 letter to William Short: "Some are whigs, liberals, democrats, call them what you please. Others are tories, serviles, aristocrats, &c. The latter fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society; the former consider the people as the safest depository of power in the last resort; they cherish them therefore, and wish to leave in them all the powers to the exercise of which they are competent."5 To date, however, the most likely source of this quotation appears to be a series of debates on socialism published in 1914, in which John Basil Barnhill said, "Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty."

At Adam2.org, we are not afraid to stand for the truth, especially when it comes to matters of freedom and religion. For this reason, you may find our stand to be in the minority at times. But we do not bend with the whims of time nor for a government that impinges on our liberty given by God. We stand with like-minded patriotic Christians in letting our collective voices be heard. Have you found yours yet? Then speak it boldly!

"Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason toward my country." - Patrick Henry (Speech to the Virginia Convention - 1775)

Exercise your freedoms or loose them!

America is no longer the America you once knew, one that not too long ago protected these freedoms. After all, has not every sworn official taken an oath before God to uphold our Constitution which guarantees these freedoms? They are derelict! We must now hold them accountable to their oath.

It is time to awake!

It is time for we, the American people, to come to a new understanding of this new government and how we are to live within it—live with the loss of these freedoms we once took for granted.

It is time for our re-education of this new reality we live within—this new medical tyranny.

Or, will we choose not to accept it? The choice is each of ours to make while we still have a small window of opportunity.

We now have seen up close and personal what leaders will do when given unlimited power. The power of our Constitution is guaranteed to lie with the people. It is time we take back that power they have abused, many for their own self-serving purposes. What they are imposing upon the citizens must not stand. As previous generations, we must preserve our liberties for future generations.

We ask one simple question we have asked in previous writings:
If You Consent To Wear The Government's Mask Today, Will You Wear Its Mark Tomorrow?
