Today's 5 Minute Activism

Print this out, cut out the quotes, and leave them conspicuously in any of the following places:  bathroom stalls, restaurant tables with your tip, in your bills when you mail them off, on top of a watermelon in the produce department, etc.  Be creative when you go about your day today, and stick a few choice quotes in all the right places.  Add any of your own favorite quotes to the mix.  See if you can leave all of these in one place or another in one day - in places where you already go...

A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms. ~~ Richard Henry Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Framer (1788) at p. 169

Giving money and power to Government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. ~~ P.J. O'Rourke

I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them. ~~ George Mason, during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution (1788)

I have yet to hear anyone afflicted with the "gun control" disability dial 9-1-1 and specify, "Now please be sure to send the kind of cops who are disarmed. If you can't do that, we'd rather you not send anyone at all to stop the men who are holding my daughter at knifepoint, because in this household we don't believe that guns ever solve anything." --VIN SUPRYNOWICZ

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. -- EDWARD ABBEY

If guns cause crime, spoons cause Rosie O'Donnell to be fat, and pencils are responsible for spelling mistakes.

If guns cause crime, then trailers cause tornadoes, and pencils cause spelling mistakes.

Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. ~~ John F. Kennedy

The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound. ~~ Author unknown but thanked.

The right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed.
