WHAT CAN AN HONEST PEOPLE DO, WHEN RULED BY A DISHONEST GOVERNMENT

To:
President Barack Obama
Sen. Patty Murray
Sen. Maria Cantwell
Rep. Rick Larsen

November 1, 2009

In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be
imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is
the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the
whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government
becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to
become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. Supreme Court
1928
