This struck me as appropriate on many levels. It's exactly how I feel.

    I wonder what they could kick me out of for wearing it?

      Nothing. You're protected, supposedly, but the first amendment. Granted, one would have to actually know what that is...

        Aah yes, but all across the country, in schools, colleges, and public political events people are be evicted, sent home, etc for the messages on their tee-shirts. What good is an amendment that says they can't, but they do?
        
        More of us need to stand up and say, 'I will not comply.'

        actually, even though I don't agree with their politics, we need to take a page from Ghandi and King, draw a line, and sit down.
        
        I have also advocated the if-they-don't-like-your-shirt-you-will-take-it-off-there-and-them method of resistance [works better with great looking young women 'cause people get embarrassed] or saying OK, I'll take it off - and having a more radical one on underneath it. You could go through 3 or 4 shirts and a tattoo, just to make it interesting.
        
        But seriously. It isn't going to stop unless we MAKE it stop. Like Ellis Wyatt said, "They'd have never stopped." Why should they? They're winning.

        I like what you're advocating, though I'm not sure I'm ready for another tat. 1st one in Japan in 69 was kind of enough.
        
        And yes I agree, Ellis Wyatt was right.

        You're 100% right about that!! I love when someone does, and the idiots in the schools are shamed into apologizing. Back pedaling numbskulls.

Looks correct to me. However, it is a shame that it needs to be printed on a T-shirt. The fact that a person has to wear it as a declaration of intent illustrates how far we have fallen from the intent of the founders.

  Teespring.com is where I saw it. It seems to have been a very limited release, as I cannot find it on their site. I'm going to try one other source....

nma, any way of finding out where this shirt can be obtained? One can re-design it on Zazzle, but I'd like the designer to get her 28c. from them. It looks professionally done.

    Hello winterwind,
    Something especially for you. :)
    The Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) - "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve. Their entire library is worth exploring.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9oCe-lUz...
    
    Enjoy!

      Thank you, O.A.
      I listen to Baroque almost exclusively because it is usually based on a natural body rhythm [60 beats/minute] and something is always going on. I am intensely auditory so am overwhelmed that way.
      I like the title more than the music - there wasn't enough true variation for me - I kept waiting for the change. I've liked what you've been sending nma much better, although I can only listen to about 30 seconds at a time. I'm looking for something to send you [and nma] that I can listen to, but I have to search and I am hungry now.
      thanks again - I will browse through their library and let you know what I think.

        Hello IndianaGary,
        Yes! These guys are quite impressive. I am quite partial to stringed instruments. The California Guitar trio, The Two Cellos, Lindsey Sterling, Apocalyptica... there are some fantastic offerings of cover songs a well as original material being created/offered by many from solo acts to symphonies...
        Here is another pleasing cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7MWEMZuu...
        :)

The Framers messed up by not term limiting Congress. However, to be fair, they provided for Senators to be elected by state legislatures. The Constitution was later amended to provide for direct election of Senators, which turned out badly.

Raising taxes should be on a separate tee shirt. People have a right to vote for politicians who will raise taxes. We do not have the right, without amending the Constitution to do any of the other things.

    I meant we don't have the right to disarm the people, bypass the Constitution, violate rights, etc.
    People can debate taxes.
    There shouldn't be a debate about whether to disarm people or prevent them from making unpopular speech. Those aren't up for discussion unless they amend the Constitution.

      One of the big reasons that we're in the mess we're in today is that people have voted into office politicians that didn't like the restrictions placed on them by the Constitution. One of those was the control on the power of taxation. So we idiots let politicians get elected that Amended the Constitution to allow them total our income -- now where rare we.

      Even if they amend the Constitution, fundamental rights aren't up for debate.
      
      The Constitution grants zero rights. None. Nada. Zip.
      
      It only protects pre-existing, God-given rights.
