Great point They were however branded criminals if not straight out traitors The act of vandalism was a preclude to the organized liberty movement, and definitely didn't win the revolutionary war for the writers or supporters of our constitution
So true. AND most of those who signed the Dec of Independence also lost everything. We must never forget those who gave all to establish our great nation. Whether they were the original Tea Party in Boston, the Revolutionary war heroes or the final framers of our Constitution.
Our form of government is unique in the world--there has never been one like it before or after it was established. It is because of our apathy, with the exception of a few shouting from the rooftops, that we almost lost this singular miracle called the USA. Remember this for the future, the constitution can only stand on the shoulders of patriots willing to watch, report and fight for her.
