“...we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We
must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion
and servitude. If we run into such debt as that, we must be
taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our
comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and
our creeds...we (will) have no time to think, no means of calling
our mismanagers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by
hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our
fellow sufferers. And this is the tendency of all human
governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes
a precedent...’til the bulk of society is reduced to be mere
automatons of misery. And the forehorse of this frightful team
is public debt. Taxation follows that, and, in its train,
wrechedness and oppression.” Thomas Jefferson

Heavenly Father, please cause the wolves in our Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches -
and the ancillary departments which exist only to put the boot on our necks, such as TSA, DHS, and HEW -
to either be saved and change to become good stewards and governors,
-or-
attack and destroy each other and any additional debt or oppression they put forth.
So that their seats may be filled by honorable persons and a government that fears the people, rather than otherwise.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Amen to your prayer!
