A reading of the Declaration of Independence on the steps of a building is widely covered. The events that started the American Revolution were the meetings in homes, pubs, on street corners.

I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted. I have a lot more to drink. For that reason, the political numbers game will be played. I know the rules of their game now and how to play it.

San Francisco can start right now to become number one. We can set examples so that others will follow. We can start overnight.

It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.
