In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This authoritarian fever won't break until Americans finally feel what it's like to live with no functional government. For generations, the Right's raison d'etre has been to destroy the New Deal, & now people who've mouthed on about "small government" are going to find out what that really means.
