So long as the
people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to
tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name
of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon
sleeping men. — Voltarine de Cleyre
CRUSADE
FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
Our
fight is not about smoking; it's about Big Government trying to
micromanage our daily lives. It's about the Nanny State burdening one
segment of its population with increasingly obscene taxes, and
putting legal American corporations and small businesses out of
business. It's about using lies and half-truths to tear down the 2nd
Amendment and leave the citizens without any "liberty teeth" to
quote George Washington. It's about government agencies denying
citizens the right to their private property without due process.
It's about getting back to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
America was built on the bedrock of Individual Rights; the federal
government was there only to back up the states, to create a
coalition of states when necessary to face an outside threat. What's
happening now is an abuse of power, arrogant and threatening to our
freedoms. America has become "The Cuckoo's Nest," we are McMurphy,
and our elected officials are Nurse Rached, smiling serenely while
they schedule us all for lobotomies.
That government is best which governs
least . Our government--at all levels-- has forgotten
that. But they've also forgotten something else: We, the People,
are the sleeping giant, and we are much, much bigger than
they are.
This site is
affiliated with no organization except that of the People--not government,
not Big Tobacco. It is here simply for your information. If you believe, as your
friendly webmaster does, that Big Government is much more dangerous to the
freedoms of Americans than Big Tobacco is to health, read on. Arm yourself
with the knowledge necessary to combat the lies spread by anti-tobacco
hysterics, nico-nazis and crusaders for the nanny state. Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

We are not
part of any other organization, but we are part of the 50 million American citizens who
are being taxed to death to pay special interest groups to treat us like
second-class citizens. And we are tired of it.
