"The time  is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are  to be Freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can  call their own; whether their Houses and Farms are to be pillaged and  destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no  human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn millions  will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army –  Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us no choice but a brave  resistance or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect – We  have therefore to resolve to conquer or die."

 

Like Washington, Truth Attack  perceives that our beloved country is confronting some of the most  troubling times in our history. It is reputed that Admiral Bill Halsey  said during the Battle of Midway, "Son, there are no great men. There  are only great challenges which ordinary men, like you and I, are forced  to meet." One mission of Truth Attack is to educate ordinary Americans  so that the cause of Liberty can prevail in these times. And one way to  achieve this goal is to provide solid legal information.

Via  this Law Library, Truth Attack wishes to provide to its friends,  supporters and other Americans solid information not only regarding the  subject of taxation, but other relevant issues as well. As time permits,  TA will be adding legal discussions of taxation to these pages and,  wherever possible, providing links to the relevant legal authorities.  Our purpose is to provide the average American with an excellent working  knowledge not only of the subject of taxes, but also other issues  essential for the American people to regain control of our governments.

"If you love  wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than  the animating contest of freedom, go home in peace.  We ask not your  counsels or your arms.  Crouch down and lick the hands of those who feed  you.  May your chains set lightly upon you.  May posterity forget that  ye were our countrymen."

"Those who  profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want  crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and  lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.  This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may  be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes  nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just  what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of  injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will  continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with  both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those  whom they oppress."

"These are the  times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot  will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he  that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.  Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this  consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the  triumph. What we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness  only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper  price upon its good; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an  article as Freedom should not be highly rated."

"It is not the  critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man  stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit  belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by  dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes  short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great  devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who, at the best, knows  in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if  he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place will  never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

"If you will not  fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you  will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you  may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds  against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a  worse case; you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory  because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

“Those great and  good men foresaw that troublous times would arise, when rulers and  people would become restive under restraint, and seek by sharp and  decisive measures to accomplish ends deemed just and proper; and that  the principles of constitutional liberty would be in peril, unless  established by irrepealable law. The history of the world had taught  them that what was done in the past might be attempted in the future.  The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people,  equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its  protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all  circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was  ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be  suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a  doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the theory of  necessity on which it is based is false; for the government, within the  Constitution, has all the powers granted to it, which are necessary to  preserve its existence; as has been happily proved by the result of the  great effort to throw off its just authority."

"Those who won our  independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear  political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty."
