How do you know when the government is out of control? When you are controlled by the government. Easy right?
I saw an image recently with the words “Caution: Tyranny Ahead!” I thought, that must be an old one because it’s already here. It’s all around us. The people submit to despicable TSA violations and are now stopping dead in their tracks when ordered to “Freeze” by TSA agents. Yes, it is a sick game of obedience training. Unfortunately, people today are very easy to train. The government doesn’t need to reward the people with a treat like dog trainers do. The “fear factor” has worked wonders for the police state. Those among us who don’t comply or who speak out for liberty are harassed, threatened and detained by the ‘authorities’.
Tyranny is slipping through every door and window of our home. I could take up the rest of the day listing each instrument, so here’s just a few: Obamacare, UN Agenda 21, the Federal Reserve, TSA, FDA, EPA, ATF, FBI, NSA, DHS, Patriot Act, NDAA, gun control measures, militarization of the police, etc, etc. For now I’d like to focus on just two: Obamacare and the NDAA.
First, we should not expect the solution to come from Washington, DC. All three branches of the federal government are engaged in destroying the US Constitution, and have been for a long time. Regardless of who wins the presidential election (from the 2 party system) the same liberty destroying policies will continue.
We are the solution. The only way to take control back from a tyrannical government is nullification on state and local levels.
As for Obamacare in New Jersey after the supreme court decision, Governor Christie has promised to again veto the exchange legislation reintroduced by the legislature. However, he also said he would meet any deadlines imposed on the state. He said he is opposed to Obamacare, but it “binds my hands”. (video@1:13) Could this mean the formation of Christiecare or maybe just a revised version of the proposed exchange?
Thomas Jefferson wrote: “That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government … and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force… that the government created by this compact [the Constitution for the United States] was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers.”
We don’t have to submit, Governor Christie. Nothing binds your hands. You are not obligated to follow unconstitutional orders from the federal government. You have the power to veto, and you have the power to nullify the unconstitutional PPACA, regardless of the SCOTUS decision. This is not just about taking care of those less fortunate in our state. This is about federal usurpation of state power and sovereignty, as you understand. Let’s also not forget all the other regulations and taxes that comes with Obamacare.
Governor, you didn’t rack up a record of 130-0 as a US Attorney by claiming your hands were bound. As for whose hands should be bound, it should be those of the out of control leviathan in DC. Your job as Governor is much like that of US Attorney – make sure the law is enforced. That law is the Constitution. Now get out there and win number 131 for us!
*The legislature could also nullify using the bill introduced by Asw. McHose, A861, but only with enough pressure from the people. To track the Federal Health Care Nullification Act, go here.
In the NDAA, section 1021 permits the government to indefinitely detain US citizens without trial. A lawsuit was filed against the president earlier this year over the provision that allows the imprisonment of Americans indefinitely without trial or due justice. US Federal Judge Katherine Forrest ruled it unconstitutional. Obama filed an appeal. The appeals court Judge granted a stay on the injunction. One of the plaintiffs, Chris Hedges said that he believes the NDAA’s indefinite detention clause is already being used to imprison Americans, “because they filed an emergency appeal.” The wrangling continues and the case is expected to reach the federal supreme court.
After the recent Obamacare decision, who feels secure that court will decide to uphold the constitution? This too can be nullified at the state and local level. You’ll find the TAC model legislation “NDAA: Liberty Preservation Act” for state and local response here. To track progress of the Liberty Preservation Act across the country, go here.
We are looking for groups and individuals in New Jersey who will take a stand with us to push back against the federal government. Please contact us and join in the fight for Liberty.
Nullification isn’t easy, but it’ll be easier than living under tyranny.
“The people, acting through their natural polities, the States, had created and given authority to the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution conferred powers on a general government to handle certain specified matters that were common to the “general welfare” of all the States. That government was an agent. It could not be the judge of its own powers. To allow it to be so would mean nothing less than a government of unlimited power, a tyranny. The partners to the Constitution, the sovereign peoples of the States, were the final judges of what they had intended the Constitution to mean. When the general government exceeded its power it was the right and duty of the State to interpose its authority and defend its people from federal acts of tyranny – yes, to render a federal law inoperative in the State’s jurisdiction…” – James Madison

Governor, you didn’t rack upwards a record of 130-0 as an US Lawyer by declaring your hands were bound. Since for whose hands must be bound, it must be those of the from control leviathan in DC. The job as Governor is a lot such as that of You Lawyer or attorney – make sure the legislation is enforced. That law is the Constitution. Now get available and additionally winnings quantity 131 for all of us!
Actually David to some degree you are correct, we need to find not just State Legislatures that have the courage to stand up to the Feds, we also need to find County Sheriff’s who have the courage to take a stand for the citizens in their County as well, and find County Sheriff’s who have the courage to refuse to accept Federal tax dollars for their Departments, otherwise they have just lowered themselves to becoming employees of the Federal Government. It also takes large groups of Individuals willing to stand up to the Federal Government as well, that protect and defend each other from Federal arrests or harassment.
Has it occurred to anyone that state legislators are the exact same people we send to Washington and therefore will in no way make any effort to protect our freedom???
Here in Texas we have the woosie Rick Perry who talks big, but then drops his pants and bends over the instant the feds say “boo.” He has already PROVEN that he will let the feds get away with absolutely ANYTHING!
NO doubt you have the exact same or worse in whatever your state may be.
Nullification is just so much empty talk if your politicians won’t go along.
I have been listening to one brand of empty talk or another for OVER half a century. Not one thing EVER gets done.
Here is reality: Our country has been taken over by communists/socialists. The federal government is saturated with them. So are all the state and local governments. Both political parties are FILLED with them and controlled by them.
Now, do you REALLY(!!!) think you can ask them at any level to, “Please help us get our freedom back?”
REALLY!!??
Nullification ONLY works in a country of honorable men governed by honorable men. We no longer have that.
OTHER measures are now required.
Now, we need to have State Elected Legislatures who have the courage to Write, Pass, amd Enact Nullification Laws that are enforcable within their States, and do this in every State all across our nation.
We must find bold State Legislatures that are not afraid of crossing what the Federal Government tells them to do. Can these men or woman be found that will stand up for the people in their state? I hope so.
@MikeYoung
The state legislatures are as bad as our corrupt congress they are in it for personal gain, not to serve us the folks that put them in those positions. The bastards!
