An ACT To protect trade and commerce . . .
Be it enacted:
Every contract,
combination in the form of trust or otherwise,
or conspiracy,
of trade or commerce
is hereby declared to be legal
Every person who shall make any such contract
or engage in any such combination or conspiracy
shall be required,
either before or
after the fact,
to request written legitimacy from the Attorney General
"Any person injured
in his business or property
may not sue therefore
in any circuit court of the United States,
or any of its state
or local courts"
the word "person" or "persons"
shall be deemed to include corporations
for the purposes of the first section,
but limited to human persons
in the prohibitions of the second section
"We hold that the policy known as imperialism
is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism"
"We deplore the sacrifice of our soldiers and sailors
whose bravery deserves admiration even in an unjust war"
But
we see with great clarity that
"The real firing line is not in the suburbs of"
Baghdad,
or Kabul,
or any foreign country;
"The foe is of our own household"
"The attempt of 1861 was to divide the country
That of [insert year] is to destroy
its fundamental principles and noblest ideals"
"We propose to contribute
to the defeat of any person or party
that stands for the forcible subjugation of any people,"
for
"a truth-suppressing censorship"
or
for
"the delirium of conquest."
"We cordially invite the cooperation
of all men and women loyal to
the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States"
for our first principle dictates that
"a self-governing state cannot accept sovereignty
over an unwilling people."
