By The Mighty Humanzee Link Back to LIVE Stream Some history tonight. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson's 2nd most important document is unknown? And yet it lead to restoring the Constitution. The Problem with BritainWe have to set the stage with the events leading up to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts, the responses by Jefferson and Madison with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions.While the Treaty of France ended the war with Britain, Britain was a threat to the United States. Our alliance with France could not prevent the British from seizing American vessels, and as an extension, American sailors were then “pressed into service” in the British Navy. While the Treaty also gave the United States great territory in the west, extending past Ohio, the British…

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.
