PHOENIX, Ariz. (May 2, 2013) – Governor Jan Brewer, or as she’s commonly being referred to as, “Federal Deputy Brewer,” vetoed Arizona’s bill that would allow, but not mandate, businesses and the state government to accept payments in gold or silver. Currently all debts and taxes in Arizona and the rest of the United States are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them.

What Federal Deputy Brewer fails to acknowledge is that, The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, “No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” The Arizona Constitutional Tender Bill would’ve been a big step towards that constitutional requirement, which has been ignored for a long time in every state of the country. Disregarding the constitution is not a big surprise coming from the ALL show and no action, finger shaking Brewer!

Jan Brewer has a track record for not following the constitution! She is in favor of indefinite detention of American citizens, which she made clear last year by vetoing SB1182. She worked behind the scenes to block Arizona’s gun control nullification bill SB1112, while her conservative colleagues in Kansas, for an example, signed it into law. She’s currently in the middle of trying to get Arizona to participate in Obamacare’s medicaid expansion, which violates Article 27, Section 2 of the Arizona constitution. And now, by vetoing SB1439, our tyrannical state overlord is proving that not only is she a fan of the federal reserve, but her concern for our U.S. constitution and her own states’ economy is superseded by the directives given to her from her federal cronies up in D.C.

AUGUSTA MAINE: 4.16.13

By a vote of 9-1, Maine Representatives in the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee approved LD525 (Industrial Hemp) which allows hemp cultivation in the state of Maine, effectively nullifying unconstitutional federal acts which ban the same.

Representative Harvell introduced the legislation. Under current Maine law, hemp is legal for certain purposes, though the law mandates that an individual can’t receive a license to grow until federal law changes. Harvell’s bill removes the requirements that an applicant for an initial license to grow industrial hemp for commercial purposes must submit a set of the applicant’s fingerprints and file with the Commissioner of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry documentation indicating that the seeds planted were a type and variety of hemp approved by the commissioner and also repeals the provision that licensure is contingent upon action by the Federal Government.

The amendment simply states: Continue Reading →

Dear Delegates,

The watered-down versions of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions will be heard before the delegates on December 15, 1798. To ensure these resolutions will fail, it is CRITICAL that you contact the delegates and tell them to enact unreasonable penalties for those who enforce laws under the Sedition Act.

The federal government has spent the last three months fighting off nullification from Republicans Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and others. These resolutions are sure to nullify our federal overreach against the federal agents that try to inflict Sedition onto the people. These nullification resolutions will give the people local protection.

These efforts are aided by citizens at the local level, citing the Tenth Amendment, who want a victory at the federal governments expense. But now, Jefferson, Madison and others are walking around claiming that the people of the states are duty bound to use nullification.

What we need to do to kill these efforts that would stop the protection of federal agents who will inflict the Sedition Act on the people, regardless of what the Constitution says, is make the resolutions too unrealistic to pass. Continue Reading →

Arizona NDAA Nullification – Your Help is Needed Immediately!

It passed the rules committee yesterday, 3/25, because of the pressure we put on Representative Robson who decided to bring it up for a hearing – and even voted YES on it. The only person left that would hold this bill from moving forward is Representative Tobin.

If we can convince Representative Tobin to allow a final full House vote on HB2573, we have a chance with Senate President Andy Biggs possibly authorizing the same in the State Senate – by releasing it from the Senate committees, put it on appropriations and get it on the Senate agenda. 

ACTION ITEMS

The bill simply states;

“Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Rio declaration on environment and development; prohibition; definition

A. Notwithstanding any other law, the state of Arizona and all political subdivisions of this state shall not adopt or implement the creed, doctrine, principles or any tenet of the United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and the Statement of Principles for Sustainable Development adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June, 1992 or any other international law that contravenes the United States Constitution or the Constitution of Arizona.

B. Since the United Nations has enlisted the support of numerous independent, non-governmental organizations to implement this agenda around the world, the state of Arizona and all political subdivisions are prohibited from implementing programs of, expending any sum of money for, being a member of, receiving funding from, contracting services from, or giving financial or other forms of aid to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives or any of its related or affiliated organizations including Countdown 2010, Local Action for Biodiversity, European Centre for Nature Conservation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and the President’s Council on Sustainable Development, enacted on June 29, 1993 by Executive Order 12852.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Our inside sources have told us that HB2573 to Nullify NDAA indefinite detention is being “held up” by Rules Committee Chair, Bob Robson. We’ve called him and asked for clarification days ago. He has not called back. The following is an email sent March 13th to give him another opportunity to tell us that our reliable source is incorrect. We are waiting for his response. What are your thoughts on the next step?

Hello Representative Robson,

My name is Adam Henriksen, I’m a State Committeeman and the Arizona Coordinator for the Tenth Amendment Center.

I’m writing you in regards to HB2573, which addresses the 2012 version of the NDAA. The sections that this bill is addressing are sections 1021 and 1022. These sections allow the ability for U.S citizens to be detained indefinitely (kidnapped) without charge or trial.

HB2573 passed a week and a half ago in the House Judiciary Committee 6-2 with great support and was supposed to go through your committee (Rules Committee) afterwards. I’m contacting you on behalf of a few thousand Arizona citizens that are concerned with the status of our bill. We heard this and are hoping it’s just a crazy rumor, that you have no intention of letting this bill go through your committee!

Could you please let me know what’s going on? Continue Reading →

Utah House Bill HB391 introduced by Representative Lee Perry, would amend the governor’s programs related to the Health System Reform Act. The bill declares the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act null and void in the state of Utah. Furthermore, This bill declares that the Affordable Care Act, which was passed by Congress, signed by the President, and major portions of which were upheld as constitutional by a majority of the United States Supreme Court, is invalid and without effect in the state of Utah because it violates the true meaning of the Constitution of the United States.

The text of the bill states the following:

“The Legislature finds that:
(a) the people of the several states comprising the United States of America created the
federal government to be their agent for certain enumerated purposes, and nothing more;
(b) the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States defines the total
scope of federal power as being that which has been delegated by the people of the several
states to the federal government, and all power not delegated to the federal government in the
Constitution of the United States is reserved to the states respectively, or to the people
themselves; and”

“(c) the assumption of power that the federal government has made by enacting the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act interferes with the right of the people of the state of
Utah to regulate health care as they see fit, and does not comply with the assurance in The
Federalist Papers, No. 45 (James Madison), that the “powers delegated” to the federal
government are “few and defined,” while those of the states are “numerous and indefinite.” Continue Reading →
