Dear Steve:
Long and short of it, we Quakers came to this contentent, long before the Constitution to establish the Peaceable Kingdom. We opened our doors (not the US did WE did) to German anabaptists who where adimant as we were that they should not be conscripted. The tradition of religious freedom here, is more than a little the result of our coming here and establishing it. I believe, if this terrible tyrannical bill is passed, that our Peaceable Kingdom is dead, the America we created is dead, and I for one, will go to what ever nation will grant my faith freedom. In the words of our Quaker peace testimony, I will not study war. Stay, in a nation that will not accept people of peace, I will not.
