This message resonates with me. I'm writing now about the humble patriots of Keene, New Hampshire during the Revolutionary War who faced the perils of battle, as well as smallpox, economic hardship, and social upheaval–all for the cause of freedom. www.unionleader.com/voices/looki... #USAHistory

National Guard soldiers and officers are REAL PEOPLE. They are our friends, family members, and neighbors. They are not robots, and should not be used as pawns in this insane cruel game.

A chart comparing the Gestap with ICE. The difference between the two was defined as: ICE Hide their faces behind masks (where as the Gestapo didn't) and the public was afraid to fight back against the Gestapo, but is not afraid of fighting back against ICE.
