Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816 -- We are now taught to believe that legerdemain tricks upon paper can produce as solid wealth as hard labor in the earth. It is vain for common sense to urge that nothing can produce but nothing; that it is an idle dream to believe in a philosopher's stone which is to turn everything into gold, and to redeem man from the original sentence of his Maker, 'in the sweat of his brow shall he eat his bread.' *** "NO NATIONAL ID, NO DATABASE! This is exactly the kind of fight that can decide whether a republic descends into tyranny. This new National ID scheme filled with biometric information, linked to a federal database would be required for every American to work – and could include all sorts of other information like gun ownership, religious beliefs, and political involvement. So please sign your NO NATIONAL ID, NO DATABASE Directive below, and agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, or even $10 or $25 TODAY!"
