Wade, that we stand up against Citizens United, we stand up for the rights of people in the workplace, that we stand up and basically say: The Supreme Court should represent all of us.

Do you stand for imposing your way of thinking upon others? These are the stands of the personality seeking to satisfy its wants.

This is the position of a truly powerful Personality.

Will we be true to our last days and fulfill our foreordained missions?

It is the implement that makes the consumers supreme in giving them the power to force all those engaged in production to comply with their orders.
