Boycott the Tariff!

The split between Old and Lower Sanctuary has proven all our beliefs that without pressing upon the people of lower, the lavish lives of the rich can not be sustained. They understand this as well and thus the toll is formed, a way to draw money from the people they no longer control. They say that they toll everyone that crosses the gate, but with my own eyes I see residents of Upper walk through without so much a word.

If they wanted the gold from their own people, why not put the toll at their residential district, you know, the place filled with enormous estates and riches? Are not those the people that should be paying the price? These are also the same people that never cross into lower and therefore pay nothing.

Citizens of lower, do not let the greed of upper continue to control your lives. Look around you, lower is getting better, safer, wealthier than it has been in years. There is still much to be done, but we are on the course to building something of true greatness. Tell upper you are not its slave anymore. Boycott the toll. It is an easy thing to do, just take the time to go around to the front gate. While the road can sometimes be dangerous, I pledge to personally guide anyone with misgivings and would hope that other men and women of strength might do the same.
