I believe that the quote of Thomas jefferson on revolution was a stern warning that if we chose to be lazy in being involved in our federal government's day to day policy implementation and not scrutinizing it constantly to make sure that it represents the common people of the united states. That failure would follow. This means don't allow the greed of one or many, foreign interests or large corporate influence to impregnate and impose their ideals on us or our nations original goals. That we would be required to stand up take arms and save the very country that they and many others sacrificed their lives to establish.We must remember that our fore fathers truly sacrificed their lives to set this country and it's union in place and our democracy. This democracy has not truly been threatened again since then but twice the civil war and world war two,for all other wars were fought for national interests and to help spread democracy around the world.I hope that we never lose sight of this by the distractions of solving the democracy problems else where. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson where truely common men that became great presidents and unfortunately not many have followed
