Republican Legislators Quote of the Week It was the best of times, it was
the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity;
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the
spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us,
we had nothing before us … Charles Dickens (1812-70), A Tale of
Two Cities

Where is Our Revolution?
Adapted from Steven Silverman’s Blog
I recently read our Declaration of
Independence almost as a modern document. It struck me that many of the
statements used to build the case for declaring independence King George III
could easily be adapted to apply to George W. Bush. "To prove this, let facts be submitted
to a candid world."
