“We are complying and cooperating with the government to provide them with any information they need and request. This is a very narrow legal request and we believe there are no legal issues here that should be of any concern, but we are working to address any concerns the government may have.”
Jim Cullinan

“A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.”
James Madison
“True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.”
Winston Churchill
“The dominant purpose of the First Amendment was to prohibit the widespread practice of government suppression of embarrassing information.”
William Orville Douglas
“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last. (October 27, 1964)”
Ronald Reagan
“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.”
Thomas Jefferson
