Sam Adams...not Al Gore...invented the Internet!
On June 14, 1764 Samuel Adams established the first Committee ofCorrespondence whose purpose was to alert the other Colonies to theMass. stand against the Stamp Act, which he labelled "Taxation withoutrepresentation". The concept was to create an "internet" of correspondenceto keep all colonies abreast of the growing resistance to Britishtaxation policy and thereby present unified opposition. It spread rapidlythroughout the colonies and led to the Stamp Act Congress in New Yorkon Oct 1st, 1765…See More
Buy American...Who Me?
That's what the merchants and traders said to Sam Adams when he proposedthe Non-Importation Act. Did he really expect them to give up the importationof British luxuries like tea? Even John Hancock, larger-than-life signerof the Declaration had a "Who, me?" moment when his ship, Liberty, was boardedfor smuggling. Fortunately for us, those who were ready to risk "life,liberty and sacred honor" out numbered the "Who, me" bleeding hearts.Come November next year we will be tested once again.See More
"Ask not what Congress can do for you. Ask what you can do for yourself."
"As CEO of a 110 yr old manufacturing company, I learned that manufacturing is driven by demand. Create a demand and the mfrs will rise to meet it. Sort of "Come, and they will build it". Field of Dreams spelled backwards."
"Problem with this premise is the fact that we don't manufacture much of anything anymore. Only way to bring manufacturing back to this country is for congress to set the conditions that would entice manufactures to once again do business here.…"

Lessons Learned Under the Liberty Tree- We Can Thank the "Caulkers" for the Caucus
Posted on December 15, 2011 at 2:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Wooden ships dating back to Biblical times needed to have a caulking
compound called oakum tapped into their seams from time to time to keep them
afloat. In the 1700's the docks of busy harbors like Boston were
crawling with "caulkers" each armed with his puttyknife-like caulking
tool. They would gather at local taverns to swap yarns and get caught up
on local politics. Over the years these meetings became known as
Caucus Clubs and by 1765 they were a powerful tool…

"Buy American"...will it drive another Revolution?

In October 1765, ten years before Lexington and Concord, the first
Boycott against importation of British goods was enacted in New York. Phil-
adelphia and Boston followed suit. As a result, the hated Stamp Act was
repealed a few months later.
Sam Adams, often called father of the Revolution, was convinced that the
only way to "reason with Englishmen was to pinch them in their pocketbooks".
The pressure against importation continued to build until it's…
