Good timing! I was just about to post an excerpt from history:

1774 - September 5 to October 26, the First Continental Congress meets in Philadelphia with 56 delegates, representing every colony, except Georgia. Attendants include Patrick Henry, George Washington, Sam Adams and John Hancock.

On September 17, the Congress declares its opposition to the Coercive Acts, saying they are "not to be obeyed," and also promotes the formation of local militia units.

On October 14, a Declaration and Resolves is adopted that opposes the Coercive Acts, the Quebec Act, and other measure taken by the British that undermine self-rule. The rights of the colonists are asserted, including the rights to "life, liberty and property."

On October 20, the Congress adopts the Continental Association in which delegates agree to a boycott of English imports, effect an embargo of exports to Britain, and discontinue the slave trade.

Who is this judge on Hannity? Talking about a constitutional showdown needing to take place???? I like him!

And that was good timing too! Isn't it eerie that so much of what was going on in the pre-revolution period applies today?

I wish I could get to Tampa Bay to dump a load of tea. Somebody a few thousand posts back suggested mailing tea bags to certain offcials....
