The Sons of Liberty began as a result of the British Government levying taxes against the Colonies without representation. The unrest of the people in the Colonies was palpable. How dare anyone tax them without their consent?!
The passion people feel for items "Made in America" can be traced back to the Daughters of Liberty. These lady patriots began boycotting British goods so as to not pay the salaries of judges or governors who were loyal to the King of England.
The Sons and Daughters of Liberty were the building blocks of what turned into a movement throughout the Thirteen Colonies to bring forth the American Revolution.
As a nation, we celebrate the brave men and women of the Revolution who had found their passion to fight the oppressive governance from the King of England. It is because of these courageous souls (past, present, and future) that we can lay claim to be, "The land of the Free, Home of the Brave."
Today we are facing a current administration, both federal and local, who seem to have forgotten that to not follow the will of the people shall have dire consequences to their comfortable grip of power. This time, this election cycle, it is clear that we the people, have to come together to "institute a new Government" in light of our current government's "abuses and usurpation."
Freedom isn't free, and the price of our liberty should not depend on the whim of those in government for their personal gain.
It is time to remember the brave and tyrannous actions that founded our nation. It is time to tell politicians that their actions have consequences. That our taxes are not to be used to for their profit, nor that of their friends. It is time to take our government back! It is time for our Revolution!
