A Change in Heart

March 19th, 1793

Dear Friends,

I come to you today with a change of heart. As you may know, when I first started L’Ami de peuple I wished nothing but to help spread the ideas of the Enlightenment to those in greatest need of them: our country’s leaders. As a learned and respected man I was sure that my firm yet gentle suggestions would be well received by the Constituents Assembly. Unfortunately, this assumption was quickly debunked. Every letter I have sent has been completely ignored. Yet, upon reading my publications, they berate me with threats and false accusations. The Constituents Assembly has become a laughable institution, serving its own representatives first and its constituents… never. Are these the kind of people we dare call our leaders?

It was my hope that we could work together with our government to bring an end to these injustices, but now I know the truth. Neither persuasion nor persistence will give us freedom. Our only option is force.

Friends, please join me in this war against tyranny. The only way we will take back what is rightfully ours is if we fight for it, even if that means taking it from the dead hands of our oppressors.

The only way to fight fire … is with fire.

Join me.

Yours truly,

JPM
