Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.'

Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I've tried to do these past eight years.

– Friedrich Wilhelm NietzscheRate it:
