Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you
have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.
Thomas Jefferson
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must
begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
Benjamin
Franklin
It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.

Georgia Law O.C.G.A. 9-11-11.1.
(a) The General Assembly of Georgia finds and declares that it is in
the public interest to encourage participation by the citizens of
Georgia in matters of public significance through the exercise of
their constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the right to
petition government for redress of grievances. The General Assembly
of Georgia further finds and declares that the valid exercise of the
constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the right to petition
government for a redress of grievances should not be chilled through
abuse of the judicial process.
9-6-24.
Where the question is one of public right and the object is to procure the enforcement of
a public duty, no legal or special interest need be shown, but it shall be sufficient that a
plaintiff is interested in having the laws executed and the duty in question enforced.

Abuses and Usurpations
Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
--- Frederick Douglass, civil rights activist, Aug. 4, 1857
Any power that can be abused will be abused.
— Tyranny Law #1
Abuse always expands to fill the limits of resistance to it.
— Tyranny Law #2
If people don't resist the abuses of others, they will have no one to resist the abuses of themselves, and tyranny will prevail.
— Tyranny Law #3
