And let's not forget...
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies." - C.S. Lewis
What does the U.S. Constitution Say?
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
--Tenth Amendment
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
--Fourteenth Amendment
"The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
--26th Amendment
And for those who still deny that liberty and equal protection includes the right to drink legally:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
--Ninth Amendment
(Emphasis added)
What Would Jefferson Do?
"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it"
"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will be in as sorry a state as are the souls who live under tyranny"
--Thomas Jefferson

Washington must be spinning in his grave....
“It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.”
– George Washington

Franklin said it best
"Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety."
What about Honest Abe?
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
"Prohibition...goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control mans' appetite through legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not even crimes... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our Government was founded."
"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties."
"Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors."
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."
--Abraham Lincoln

And remember this when you look at the polls
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
