Some please put it into its basic intent. Ok I will. This will be a method of denying you that which you take for granted. Namely, your FREEDOM as an American citizen.
There is an overworked phrase in the language today. That is “FREEDOM OF CHOICE”.
This insanity will deny YOU your freedom of choice. Your choice of what supermarket to shop at, instead of tiny stores on every corner within walking distance.
This insanity will deny you your freedom to choose where you seek employment, beyond walking and/or bike range, driving 40 miles to work because that is where you can do best for your family.
Your right to CHOOSE where to vacation..gone. Your right to drive 75 miles to visit the grandchildren..gone. Your right to drive through this great country..gone. Your right to see the kids 100 miles away at college..gone.
The ownership and free usage of our automobiles is part and parcel of the freedoms of this country. Now a political party is actually telling us, “Shut the hell up and do as we allow you to do”.
Maybe it IS time to clean the musket.
“Welcome to the party, pal...”
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
