What Now?
Now that national health care is moving forward in Washington, plenty of people are asking – what do we do now? Some people feel we need to “vote the bums out.” Others think it’s best to focus on the Senate with a flood of calls and protests. And others think our best hope is in [...]
Forget the Supreme Court
On Friday, November 6th 2009, I called into a conference call hosted by The Federalist Society (I’m a member) which featured speakers such as Peter Urbanowicz and David B. Rivkin, Jr on the topic on National Health-care. The speakers really knew their stuff but they and the callers who asked questions basically accepted the notion [...]
Nullification: Another Line of Defense Against D.C.
Those of you who visit this site regularly already know that the health care vote yesterday is far from the end of things – and also know that even when it passes the Senate (which I assume some version will), it’s still not the end of the road for freedom. The real way to resist [...]
Changing the Face of America
Jim Davies at Strike the Root makes the case that Marbury v Madison changed the face of America: Here’s where the brain begins to bend. Marshall’s Court rejected Marbury’s suit, on the grounds that a mere act of Congress cannot delegate power to SCOTUS; that’s the right of the Constitution writers or amenders only (so [...]

Pelosi Dispels Tenth Amendment “Myths”
This email from Nancy Pelosi to her supporters is the definition of Congressional doublespeak, rife with misleading statements like: “Rather than creating a ‘government takeover of health care,’…America’s Affordable Health Choices Act…will expand enrollment in private insurance by an estimated 6 million Americans.” Um, Nancy, mandating that all Americans buy a certain kind of insurance [...]
Andrew Napolitano on Health Freedom
Judge Andrew Napolitano looks at health care and a justified use of Congress’ interstate commerce regulation power. Americans should be free to buy insurance across state lines.
David Ratowitz vows to support 10th Amendment
David Ratowitz, candidate for U.S. Congress to represent Illinois’ 5th Congressional District, today signed the Tenth Amendment Center‘s 10-4 Pledge for prospective and current federal officeholders.

How About Reading the Constitution?
Gene Healy has a fantastic post over at the CATO institute regarding the recent debate over trying to get Congress to actually read legislation before they vote on it (which I think is an excellent idea) But, as Healy points out, there’s something closer to the root that we should be demanding first – the [...]

Also joining in the discussion is FL State Rep, Scott Plakon. The topics? Good stuff – nullification, health care freedom, medical marijuana, firearms freedom, and more…
Constitutional Contempt
Listening to the Glenn Beck show last week, I was struck by an exchange between Glenn and one of his co-hosts. They were discussing the Monica Lewinsky debacle of the late nineties and paraphrased the national dialog at the time as something like this: Republicans: President Clinton had an affair in the Oval Office. Democrats: [...]
Nullify!
How YOUR State Should Respond to Obama’s Health Care Reform Obama’s health care reform will likely pass in some form even with the efforts of those who have bravely railed against such lunacy. The dorks on Capitol Hill aren’t concerned with a majority of Americans who oppose such poppycock. Neither are these elitists troubled that [...]
End the Fed and Restore the Powers of the 10th Amendment
“Nationalize as much as possible, even the currency, so as to make men love their country before their states. All private interests, all local interests, all banking interests, the interests of individuals, everything, should be subordinate now to the interest of the government.” – Senator John Sherman (Brother of William Tecumseh Sherman) The elimination of [...]

Here’s what he has to say about his campaign, the 10th, and the Constitution: Growing up as a student in public education, I remember always hearing [...]
Repudiating Vaccines and Big Government
Bill Sardi has written another gem over at LewRockwell.com. In it, he makes the case that people are really starting to wise up to the fear tactics that the government uses on us – and fewer people are going along with it. That’s a good sign. Here’s an excerpt: The American government may have left [...]
