You should't be suprised by this, as some of my most creative writing was accomplished while altered. It was quite common for us all to get together for a smoking session to relax. It was at one of these gatherings that we decided to draft the Declaration of Independence. Some of those boys were a little wild and the herbal interventions ensured that cool heads prevailed. I was quite distraught when it was made illegal and so I moved to a small island, where I now live. The warm tropical climte is ideal for growing and curing my own personal crop, for medicinal purposes of course.

About me:
I was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from my father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from my mother, a Randolph, high social standing. I studied at the College of William and Mary, then read law. In 1772 I married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live in my partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello.
Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward is how I would describe myself as a young man. I was never what you would consider a public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, I contributed my pen rather than my voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, I, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. In years following I labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably, I wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.
I succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. My sympathy for the French Revolution led me into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when I was Secretary of State in President Washington's Cabinet. I resigned in 1793.
Sharp political conflict developed, and two separate parties, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, began to form. I gradually assumed leadership of the Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France. Attacking Federalist policies, I opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the rights of states.
As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796, I came within three votes of election. Through a flaw in the Constitution, I became Vice President, although an opponent of President Adams. In 1800 the defect caused a more serious problem. Republican electors, attempting to name both a President and a Vice President from their own party, cast a tie vote between myself and Aaron Burr. The House of Representatives settled the tie. Hamilton, disliking both myself and Burr, nevertheless urged my election.
When I assumed the Presidency, the crisis in France had passed. I slashed Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey so unpopular in the West, yet reduced the national debt by a third. I also sent a naval squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the Mediterranean. Further, although the Constitution made no provision for the acquisition of new land, I suppressed my quaulms over constitutionality when I had the opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803.
During my second term, I was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars, though both England and France interfered with the neutral rights of American merchantmen. my attempted solution, an embargo upon American shipping, worked badly and was unpopular.
I retired to Monticello to ponder such projects as my grand designs for the University of Virginia. A French nobleman observed that I had placed my house and my mind "on an elevated situation, from which I might contemplate the universe."
And so I have done until now. However, the current state of our nation has caused me much unrest. It is my intent to assist with the inevitable rebellion.
In the thick of party conflict in 1800, I wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
This holds true today and I cannot rest with our great nation in such a state. We must unite the common citizen to the goal of reclaiming control of our government.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: Mohandas Gandhi- I would certainly buy him dinner to hear his thoughts on our current situation.
Margaret Thatcher- Only for a night of passionate lovemaking. To me she is one of the sexiest women to ever live. I long to caress her bosom.
Bill Gates- A fascinating chap. He also holds the key to a successfull revolution. His vast wealth will mean nothing after the revolution so it would be in his best interest to cooperate.
There are plenty more, but alas my time is valuable and our cause is just.
The end of Mccains candidacy and Ron Pauls return? Please sign the petition at the bottom to release Mccain's delegates McCain has 2 problems with this issue. 1: If the FEC allows Mccain to withdraw from FED matching funds he will be revoked from many delegates in states that he was able to be on the ballot without the required number of signatures therefore he will lose any delegates for him in those states. 2: If the FEC doesn't release him from matching funds he will be capped at 50 million dollars and will kill his run for president because he will not have the money to compete. The problem is even more complicated than this. McCain used the matching funds eligibility to avoid having to collect signatures to qualify for ballot access in several states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Those state wins must be voided according to most experts on the issue. That means he does not have the necessary delegates. Ironic that it was his law (McCain-Feingold) that got him in this mess. McCain broke the law... Sign the petition to remove his delegates….
