Today at the Lincoln Memorial ordinary people, America, defied the regime.

We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist Obamacare good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it; And they will… and ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it….

Following the Constitutional Convention, which framed our form of governance, it is written that Benjamin Franklin looked at an image of the sun painted on the back of convention President George Washington’s chair.
Over the last four months, Franklin said, he had often looked at that sun and wondered whether it was rising or setting. “Now, at length, I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun,” Franklin said.
Upon Ben Franklin’s exit, Mrs. Powel asked:

“What have you given us?”

Benjamin Franklin replied:

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

How long the American sun will continue to rise might depend on whether defiance or cooperation is seen as the best symbol of an enduring Republic.
