We think about the American Revolution beginning in 1776. Our textbooks tell us that was the signing of the Declaration, thus the beginning, right? Not really. The events of 1774 are very important to understanding. Before we discuss the Congress that assigned Jefferson to write a Declaration and officially broke off relations with Britain, we should study the first congress that Jefferson was unable to get into. We do that in this episode, and look at a few decisions the Congress made and didn't make which determined the history afterwards. We also look at a seemingly minor decision of the 1774 Congress, in rejection a suggestion by Patrick Henry, which would turn out to have huge implications on our politics today. While we are a discussing a meeting that Jefferson was not at, and not yet enough of a name to be asked, perhaps, We do discuss him. Thomas Jefferson does participate, virtually. We also take a look at Jefferson's Summary View of the Rights of British North America, written in this year. -- -- This podcast is part of the Airwave Media Network. - www.airwavemedia.com Interested in advertising on this podcast?

Of course political capital was what George W. Bush was talking about, and spend it he did pushing a social security plan that failed by all accounts. However, it's failure doesn't mean that there aren't advocates who think it would have been right to do, with a better messenger. We get into it. Learn more about your ad choices.
