Does our Declaration of Independence require the citizens of these United States to do what they know is right in the face of tyranny? How do we define tyranny? The standard definition is this: tyranny is the arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority. Does that sound familiar? It should. We've just gone through a stimulus bill that was rejected by all our elected Republican officials, excluding three (I have a strong feeling they will not be elected officials after the end of this term). But, it passed. Taxes will be raised, our money will be spent on projects that we, the people, did not approve of. This new administration promised transparency of government. There has been none of that. Why? Because people in this country, conservative people who honor and respect the documents that are the backbone of our country, would not stand for what the present administration is doing.

We live in a country founded on the principal that taxation without representation is wrong. But, here we are, suffering under unfair and undue regulations and restrictions. We have the government taking over and taking away the rights of American citizens only because it can. That is the definition of tyranny!
