Federal States

Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or states:

“Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)

“On September 16, 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.”
