The faithful citizen, as against an unjust government will firet seek all other means of self-preservation and defence."- The American Republic - James A. Woodburn, When the American people wake up, the life of our "schemers and crooked politicians” may not be worth muche “3 ecg According to the Declaration of Independence ‘end ‘the Constitution, vat right have or had we to join any League of Nations, United Mations or World Court?
