Good quote Mike. I would agree with the senator, and add this: Dissent is also an act of conscience, something every founding father of this country knew well. Dissent seems to be something many in the current administration would prefer it's citizens to abandon. The heart and soul of this country, for better or worse, lies in it's citizenry, not in Washington.
