States’ Rights Are Not Wrong
A very long, but well-documented article on the history of nullification – and its current efforts in ….of all places …. the Huffington Post.

Taking Tentherism seriously in Minnesota
A good article in the Minnesota post on how some politicians are jumping on the Tenther bandwagon – but aren’t the real deal. No surprise, of course, but nice to see this coverage.

ObamaCare is a threat to federalism
From the Heritage foundation, via the WSJ: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act represents more than a federal takeover of health care; it is a direct threat to federalism itself. Never before has Congress exercised its power under Article I, Section 8 of the Federal Constitution to force American citizens to purchase a pri [...]
Celebrate Your Independence
Let’s step back a few years in American history to a fairly creditable source by the name of Thomas Jefferson. It is safe to say that Mr. Jefferson has a few credits to his name.

Courage
To act, despite danger or disapproval. Works for me. Taking action in the public arena and stand by it during the onslaught also displays character and leadership. The chance that a politician will show courage is remote. Voter disapproval is death to them. Put that together with a society that has gradually come to accept [...]
