home state's senator is quoting B.F.

I love that my home state's senator is quoting B.F. and it is being put in every paper. Not to mention I parked is car once when he was the gov and skiing at Cannon Mt NH.

"We need to be more vigilant," agreed Sen. John Sununu, a Republican from New Hampshire, where the state motto is "Live Free or Die." He quoted Benjamin Franklin: "Those that would give up essential liberty in pursuit of a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security."

My last 4 or 5 books have surrounded the American Revolution. Men like Ben are not just old timers with their faces on bills, these guys really put out for the people. After reading a lot about it I am amazed that they pulled it off. If they were around today or when the Patriot act was voted in they would have been having a Boston Tea Party ala 2000s, not sure what that would have looked like but they as a group were very creative.
