10 MAGYAR EGYHÁZ They now tell you which public school your child must attend, which water fountain he must drink at, and which prayers he must not say. Arise American, your country heed! In her hour of grievous need! Shall we be prisoners or free? That is the question, how say ye? By God I swear, I swear! Imprisonment I shall not bear! I sincerely urge you to examine your own conscience and vote at every opportunity for men dedicated to the restoration of constitutional principles. For unless we manage to have enough of them elected to stem the tide, marxist socialism will provide you with government dispensed cradle to grave security from Washington. Incidentally, should you choose, you may already enjoy this kind of security in any U.S. prison now, whats more, at a higher level of material well being than those unfortunate “liberated slaves” behind the iron and bamboo curtains. Arise American, your country heed! In her hour of grievous need! Let your conscience be your guide! Forever in the Lord abide! Pray for men of dignity, And constitutional liberty!
