Please add your own expressions to the comments. I will forward them to the first politician I can find who seems to give a damn.

I think one of my ancestors shot one of the signers (Burr/Hamilton).
It was a nice experiment, this freedom thing.
I have the Carrolls and McHenrys of Maryland as some of the more distinguished branches on the family tree. They seem tohave gotten along well with all the gypsys, tramps and thieves. A lot to be said for this freedom stuff. Shame we just kissed it goodbye.
My Irish ancestors came here before the Constitution. They're still hiding in the back hills of West Virginie.
What's happening to this country is a disgrace.

I wrote my note to Keith on my Ellis Island Stationery. They might as well get the message that some of us still believe in freedom.
