Many of our ancestors fought to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.  With this in mind, here is a site where we can review how our representatives vote so we'll know if we are supporting the people who truly reflect our views.

1. Photograph Data Base.  "At the time I checked this one out, there were sixteen Barton soldiers listed.  You can't view the pictures, but if you see the data for your Barton ancestor there, you can order a photo copy for free or an actual photo for a fee." http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/PhotoDB.html

2. Cornell University has put all 60 volumes on the internet of the WAR of the REBELLION. http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/browse.monographs/waro.html

Professor Alexander Tyler:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.   [http://www.mcsm.org/democracy1.html]
