“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom”
Benjamin Rush - 1745 - 1813 - A Founding Father of the United States, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, physician, social reformer, humanitarian, educator, and man of incredible foresight.
“The US constitution is a near-perfect document. Why? Because it was written by the Native Americans who have compassion, wisdom, common sense, selflessness, vast experience, and spirituality, at the heart of their society and advanced teachings. The Constitution, and its equivalent in other countries, is necessary to protect the God-given Rights and Freedoms and the health of the people, and to protect the people against rogue governments and rogue corporations including the drugs industry which is the second richest industry in the world and which has taken over the medical schools, hospitals, and the NHS which was founded in 1948 and built on the cornerstone of compassion”
Dr. S. Taylor
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”
Ronald Reagan
“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so “
Thomas Jefferson
“If you allow the government to break the law because of an emergency, they will always create an emergency to break the law “
“Good people do not need laws so tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws”
Plato
“Crime is contagious. If the govt becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy “
Louis Brandeis
“Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating”
Henry Cloud
“Courage is required not only in a person’s occasional crucial decision for his own freedom, but in the little hour-to-hour decisions which place the bricks in the structure of his building of himself into a person who acts with freedom and responsibility”
Rollo May
“We have been too kind to those who are killing the planet. We have been inexcusably, unforgivably, insanely kind”
Derrick Jensen
“Surely by now there can be few here who still believe the purpose of government is to protect us from the destructive activities of corporations. At last, most of us must understand that the opposite is true: that the primary purpose of government is to protect those who run the economy from the outrage of injured citizens”
Derrick Jensen
“The greatest thing you could ever teach your child is how to research and think critically for themselves”
