Texas declared her
independence from Mexico, March 2, 1836.
Gen. Santa Anna was directed to put down the rebellion. With as many as 6,000 troops he arrayed his
soldiers against the Alamo in an epic take-no-prisoners battle. Among those killed in the attack were Jim
Bowie, and former U.S. Congressman Davy Crockett. Out of this battle the cry, “Remember the
Alamo” came about. This attack was
followed by the capture and annihilation of 350 Texans on the way to battle
Santa Anna.
I like these quotes
from the Texas Declaration of Independence;
"When a government has ceased to
protect the lives, liberty, and property of the people, from whom its
legitimate powers are derived... and so far from being a guarantee for their
inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil
rulers for their oppression... In such a crisis...the inherent and inalienable
right of the people to... take their political affairs into their own hands...
to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to… to
secure their welfare and happiness....It
has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defense, the rightful property of freemen,
and formidable only to tyrannical governments...
Today in Connecticut
many of the People are in a state of civil disobedience to their
government. The state has called for the
mass registration of certain guns and magazines. To date the most conservative estimates say
that only around 1 in 4 of the guns have been registered and very few magazines. As of January 1, 2014 these people are now felons.
Estimates say there could be as many as 300,000 citizens who are now classed
as felons
So is this the state where
the next Alamo will be? Note the quote
in bold above. The legislator’s home
addresses have now been posted on the internet for all to find. I have heard time and again the call of these
rogue elements in government who think they can write any rule to take any
Liberty without repercussion. The People
have been and are being patient, even here in Illinois, with some of the worst
gun laws.
Who will the enforcers
of this theft of Liberty be? One thing
you can bet on, they will be wearing a uniform.
Will the enforcers remember their oath to uphold and defend the
constitution against all enemies, or will they be obedient so they can continue
to receive their paycheck? Will the cry,
“Remember the Alamo” once again be heard in our land?
