"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
-- Declaration of Independence
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
"All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient."
-- Article I, Section 2, Bill of Rights, Texas Constitution

"Contempt of Court: REFORMATION"
To the tune of Marilyn Manson's "Rock is Dead"
transcribed by Romain Marques
"Reformation" written in defense of public housing residents denied the right to petition in federal court
due to lack of economic resources and legal defense against repeated violations by city officials.
Judge: "Are you trying to show contempt for this court?"
Defendant: "No, your Honor. I'm doing my best to hide it."
-- Mae West, "My Little Chickadee," 1940
quoting Frederick E. Smith (1872-1930) First Duke of Birkenhead
The message is simple
The Master you choose is
Mammon or God
It's either Jesus or Judas
You sell out your neighbor
For pieces of silver
Promising rights that
You never deliver
Indulgences for sale
Pay your way to hell
Laws - are given by God
Not - political fraud
Consent of the Governed
Is what we demand
The just power of Justice
Lies in our hands
God made people equal . . . .
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
The pressure of trials
Driven to drink
Thousands of lawyers
Paid not to think
Winning their cases
Losing their souls
Praying to Caesar
To seize more control
Anything is legal
Criminal is civil
Laws - are spoken by prophets
Not - by puppets in office
Freedom of speech
Is not a defense
When you've got to worship
The pope on the bench
Why aren't people equal?
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Guns - don't enforce the laws
Christ - rules with an Iron Rod
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Guns - don't enforce our laws
Christ - rules with an Iron Rod
The message is simple
The Master you choose is
Mammon or God
It's either Jesus or Judas
The Question in Life
The Way of the Buddhas
The Laws are all written
You know what the Truth is:
Laws - are spoken by prophets
Not - by puppets in office
Freedom and Justice
It's all in our hands
Consent of the People is
The Law of the Land
Rights - are given by God
Not - by government fraud
Freedom of Speech
Is what we demand
The Gavel of Justice
Lies in our hands
