Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
4 minutes or less is the goal today for first time CG solvers.
2 minutes or less for the professionals here.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS COUNTRY, WHEN THE PILGRIMS CAME TO THIS COUNTRY, THE FIRST YEAR THEY HAD A COMMUNISTIC EXPERIMENT. THEY SAID, “OK, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE LAND, WE'RE GOING TO WORK THE LAND TOGETHER AND SHARE IN THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR.” THEY ALMOST STARVED TO DEATH. ALMOST HALF OF THEM DIED THAT FIRST YEAR. — RAFAEL CRUZ

Less than 2 minutes.
The first contraction, got me the first 3 letter word. It was just fill in the blanks from there.
This is one of my favorite sayings that I use quite often.
My last words will probably be a joke. A real groaner, I hope.
Actually, some people will. In fact, 2 people already did.
Thanks.
