I took this oath in June of 1975. I felt different afterwards. I still feel the same way. When people ask me why I vote, why I try to support a system that has so many problems and lately when they ask me why I protest, I tell them about this. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch my circle-ators. The constitution isn't going to protect itself.

The next time you see Occupy People in the news or on Youtube or in your city - Remember, "those people" are doing their patriotic duty. You should do what ever you can to support them.
