Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside,let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.~ Rev.

On the day they are launched against the privileged they are overthrown.~ Prince Peter Kropotkin The principle of free speech is no new doctrine born of the Constitution of the United States.
