Quote of the Day,

"Finally, ye Freemen, all of every class whose high prerogative it is, to raise up, or pull down, to invest with office and authority, or to withhold them, and in whose power it is to save or destroy your country, consider well the important trust and distinguishing privileges which God and nature have put into your hands. To God and posterity you are accountable for your rights and your rulers. See that you preserve them inviolate and transmit them to posterity unimpaired. Let not your children have reason to curse you for giving up those rights, and prostrating those institutions which our fathers delivered to you. ...And that this happy state of things may continue, look well to the characters and qualifications of those you elect and raise to office and places of trust. ~Reverend Matthias Burnet (1749-1806) Minister in the Second Great Awakening
