Abhijit Naskar
“America is a great country, built by great people - you know what made them great - the spirit of freedom and a disregard for binding tradition.”
Abhijit Naskar, Build Bridges not Walls: In the name of Americana

“They were not, I am certain almost, first-rate gentlemen. (How different from our other officers.) But they are gone to Virginia, where they may sing, dance, and eat turkey hash and fry'd hominy all day long, if they choose.”
Sally Wister, Sally Wister's Journal: A True Narrative Being A Quaker Maiden's Account Of Her Experiences With Officers Of The Continental Army, 1777-1778

Jeff   Biggers
“Overlooked in this ominous depiction might be our country’s best- kept secret: in dealing with the most challenging issues of every gener- ation, resistance to duplicitous civil authority and its corporate enablers has defined our quintessential American story.”
Jeff Biggers, Resistance: Reclaiming an American Tradition

Thomas Paine
“And here, without anger or resentment, I bid you farewell. Sincerely wishing, that as men and Christians, ye may always fully and uninterruptedly enjoy every civil and religious right, and be, in your turn, the means of securing it to others; but that the example which ye have unwisely set, of mingling religion with politics, may be disavowed and reprobated by every inhabitant of America.
Thomas Paine

Jeff   Biggers
“Fourth, resistance, as it has unfolded over the centuries, has claimed a “public commons” for “we the people” to have a voice in shaping the de- fining issues in our most trying times—beyond the thirty-nine wealthy white men who signed our Constitution. This means beyond elections.”
Jeff Biggers, Resistance: Reclaiming an American Tradition
