The tree of liberty …

September 20, 2013

“And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”  

 – Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787
