"Convinced that the people are the only safe……" — Thomas Jefferson

"Convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of their own liberty, and that they are not safe unless enlightened to a certain degree, I have looked on our present state of liberty as a short-lived possession unless the mass of the people could be informed to a certain degree."

Thomas Jefferson
