Here are a few of the accusations made by our Founding Fathers against King George the Third of England in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
Anyone for a tea party?
Count me in. I'm already in Boston - I'll start setting up. It's loooooooooong overdue.

I'd laugh if it weren't so true.

I'd join in the party, but I hate to waste good tea on the current "king" George.

wow. I like having hot tea in November!
I keep hearing people say "IT'S TIME!" This really does make it clear.
So many things - in so many aspects around the country are ready to be turned around.
