Something cool that Xerox is doing -
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com you
can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it, and it
will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq.
You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some

member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!

This is a great site. Please send a card.

It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?
Whether you are for or against the
war, our guys and gals over there need
to know we are behind them.

Selected Quotations from the Thomas Jefferson Papers

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal. . . ."
Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

"it is the great parent of science & of virtue: and that a nation will be great in both, always in proportion as it is free."
Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Willard, March 24, 1789

"our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost."
Thomas Jefferson to Dr. James Currie, January 28, 1786

"nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle."
Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, June 11, 1807

"I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared."
Thomas Jefferson to William Plumer, July 21, 1816

"bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. education & free discussion are the antidotes of both."
Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, August 1, 1816

"What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment . . . inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose."
Thomas Jefferson to Jean Nicholas Demeunier, January 24, 1786

"yet the hour of emancipation is advancing . . . this enterprise is for the young; for those who can follow it up, and bear it through to it's consummation. it shall have all my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man."
Thomas Jefferson to Edward Coles, August 25, 1814

" . . . there is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive."
Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse, April 19, 1803

"I cannot live without books."
Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, June 10, 1815

Great American Ideals

The Great American Ideals

What ideals of American Democracy can be found in The Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to The Constition? What are these historical documents trying to tell the world? Has the United States remained true to these ideals?

One ideal found in the Preamble (the introduction to the Constitution) the ideal is majority rules. Majority means more than half of the people who voted. In our government the Congress has to do majority rules to pass bills, through Congress and the President. Or for new ideas like taxes, all year-round school, and ect. Sometimes it might not even make it as bill. So that is one of the ideals found in the Preamble.

DECLARATIONS: ESSAYS ON AMERICAN IDEALS

DECLARATIONS: ESSAYS ON AMERICAN IDEALS

DECLARATIONS is comprised of three one-hour programs, LIBERTY: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL?, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. The series was created by 15 leading independent producers teamed with 14 individual thinkers and a group of New York City ninth-graders. Each team created a personal declaration about what life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness means to them.

Making declarations are well-known individuals, as well as those whose views are seldom heard on the airwaves or in print. In LIBERTY: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION viewers will hear the opinions of Milwaukee radio host Charles J. Sykes, author of "A Nation of Victims: The Decay of the American Character"; rap critic James Bernard; author-in-exile Salman Rushdie; political correctness advocate Mari J. Matsuda; and Grateful Dead lyricist and cyberspace explorer John Perry Barlow.

ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL? features four views of equality from free-market advocate Robert Woodson, Sr.; East Coast writer Beverly Donofrio; legal scholar Derrick Bell; and Demetrio Rodriguez, a retired sheet-metal worker from Texas.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS presents the five widely varying views of scavenger and author Lars Eighner; baby-boomer and divinity student Patty St. James Roberts; eight Hispanic-American and African-American teenagers from JHS 22 in New York City; social critic and author Arianna Huffington; and Rosa Martha Zarate Macias, an ex-nun and labor organizer in Southern California.
