The Stamp Act

On March 22, 1765, the English Parliament passed the Stamp Act. This was a tax on every piece of printed paper sold in the Colonies. In response to it, Patrick Henry drafted his Stamp Act Resolves, and the journey to revolution picked up some momentum.

On March 22, 2010, America awoke to a changed country. We are no longer a free people. We are ruled. Congress has subjugated us. The people we sent to Washington to represent our interests have failed us. They have sold their souls, and our liberty to false vision of communal wealth and enforced commonality. Except, of course, for those who are employed by the Crown, or who live in Nebraska, or belong to the UAW. They are exempt. They are 'special'. The rest of us are second class, and a caste system more rigid than any ever experienced in this country is descending on us. With the full might of the federal government brought to bear, you and I are now subjects.

On March 22, 1765 the Stamp Act galvanized public opinion in the Colonies and helped pave the way for a revolution that freed us from the English Crown, and set about the Great American Experiment. Men risked their liberty, their wealth, and their lives to proclaim their emancipation from servitude to the English Crown.

Today is different. In November, You just have to vote the bastards out.
