From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Meek
I have no quarrel with those who want this government under England's rule, but if you want to live in a republic with a flap in which every star shines a beacon for free government, and every stripe is a band that binds us together as a government for the people - vote for your Uncle Sam. Come now, who's for a divide!
Joseph Meek, calling for votes at the Champoeg Meetings in 1843
