Who are the Minutemen of this day and age? They are your friends, neighbors and relatives who are opposed to the arbitrary rule of a would-be king. They are your politicians who vote against administrative fiats and challenge unlawful acts. They are people who still believe in the Declaration of Independence and the promise of equality before the law. They believe in the Bill of Rights.
They speak out, write letters, protest, support democracy, and vote accordingly. They look forward to another 250 years of American democracy.
