Looking for quote RE: Citizens have the right to fix a broken government
My freeperish mother just broke our "don't talk about politics" rule after I sent her the Olbermann video clip, and I want to send her something that refutes her suggestion that I should quit fighting for a fair democratic process.

I thought it was in the constitution but I can't find it there. Does anyone have the quote handy?

~A!
