In 1854 Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act potentially opening the West to slavery...Senator Stephen Douglas of Illinois needed to build a transcontinental railroad through Chicago. The fix was in. Douglas got his railroad and the South got the West opened to the ownership of people of a certain hue.

Then the Whig party collapsed and the Democrats split into Northern and Southern branches. A new free-soil party emerged called the Republicans.

It can happen again. There are some things that awaken a sleeping giant...the American people...once it was slavery...now it’s the politicians selling out their kids and grandkids futures.

It will not stand.

In other words it's about slavery this time too: debt slavery.
