Will Counties and Towns Nullify the NDAA?
Fremont, El Paso Counties in Colorado May Be Followed By Many More Some people argue that principles of state sovereignty would be a pointless strategy in their state.

Idaho bill would decriminalize medicinal marijuana
On Jan. 17, Republican Tom Trail introduced HB 370 in the Idaho House of Representatives. This marks Trail’s second attempt to address the needs of medical marijuana patients in as many years. “Representative Trail is a conservative who gets it. He sees that it’s all about compassion. In essence the heart of this bill is [...]
Your State can Stop Obamacare
In late March, the Supreme Court will hear the Obamacare case. But are the courts our ONLY hope to stop this unconstitutional “law”? NO! – that’s what Thomas Jefferson and James Madison taught us. And on March 31st, just days after the hearings, we’ll be holding a special event in Philadelphia to highlight the fact [...]
Will Kansans Stand Up for Their Right to Choose? Will YOU?
One of the most active fronts in the fight to push back Federal overreach has been resistance to the Controlled Substances Act- a measure passed long ago that would have been soundly rejected by those who created our American system of governance. The founders knew that something as important as what we put into our [...]
4 More Governors Bow Down to DC
So now a handful of Governors- one from my current state of WA, have ‘banded together’ to petition the Federal government. Their demand? That the Federal Government initiate a multi-year process of examining new evidence that medical marijuana COULD be useful medically. The process goes like this: DEA does it’s own analysis on medical cannabis [...]
2011: Some Personal Highlights
I wanted to share my personal list of top experiences and milestones from the past 12 months that have me going strong into the new year: Nullify Now!

The Time Has Come
As we all set our intentions for 2012, I want to leave you with a thought. One of my many tasks at the Tenth Amendment Center is to spend some time getting to know our prospects- those who have volunteered to take on an organizational role with the Tenth Amendment Center. Today, the recruit I [...]
Treason, Counterfeiting and Piracy
There are only THREE crimes that permit constitutional police action on the part of the Federal government- treason, counterfeiting and piracy- so one has to wonder which of those crimes was alleged when a Predator B drone was used by the Feds to arrest three alleged cow thieves in North Dakota this past summer. Since [...]
We Don’t Need the Supreme Court to Give us Permission!
It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court decides about Obamacare. That’s exactly what we’ll be telling folks March 31st in Philadelphia. Expecting Federal courts to reduce the Federal machine is anything but a sure bet- in fact it’s downright unlikely. In preparation for the Supreme Court hearing the Federal health care case the week of [...]
Ron Paul Endorses Nullification
This past week, we finally got what we at TAC have been looking for for 5 years- a direct statement from Ron Paul about the very thing we promote here at ‘The Center’. Not only did Ron Paul use the ‘N Word’ (nullification), but he went so far as to provide a new talking point, [...]
Are Tenther Governors on the Horizon?
Your Governor took an oath to the Constitution of the United States- one which they have not followed. Each of the 50 governors have enormous potential to lead the process of breaking apart the power centralized in DC and return it to We the People. Despite this potential we have yet to see even one [...]
Is SOPA Constitutional?: A Layman’s View
I’m no degreed scholar- I don’t even have a 4 year education, so why is it that I can dive into the ‘murky waters’ of the constitution and feel confident about what I find? Because the Constitution was crafted to be understood by AVERAGE people- not to be the exclusive territory of academia. Many times [...]
Music with a Message. For Freedom.
Youth is a critical target in the world of politics. Any campaign or movement that can compel the youth to join can become a powerful force, but most attempts to do so fail. Nullify Now! Los Angeles will take a different approach, bringing together music, art and activism. The May 28th event has already attracted [...]
Texans Move to Nullify Federal Education?
Though far from a reality, the very existence of this bill is an indication that the Federal Government’s monopoly on education policy may be waning.
A Fresh Perspective on the Tenther Movement
This fresh perspective on our Tenther movement comes from Mother Jones Magazine writer Stephanie Mencimer in this month’s issue. Also- save the date! CATAC’s first Nullify Now! event is now slated for April 20th, 2011 in Los Angeles. -B If at First You Don’t Secede Meet the legalization-loving, Iraq-War-hating Californian who’s become a guru to [...]
Is Gay Marriage the Key to Ending Obamacare?
In David Kopel’s July 9th post, he shares with readers some of the legal reasons why the recent Gay Marriage decision was a boon for Tenthers. Though current nullification efforts do not depend on the courts for validation, this article is important to study. Many Americans still find themselves as disciples of the judiciary & [...]
Until Men Are All Like Angels, We’ll Need the 10th Amendment
Here’s a great article from last week’s Houston Chronicle, reminding us all why we need a government in the first place. Men, no matter how noble today, can be corrupted in the snake pit known as Washington DC. We can even look to FDR himself in this respect. While governor of New York, Roosevelt touted [...]
Why I Care About the Constitution
The debates that one sees in the comments sections and forums these days is a fascinating mix. Everyone in DC sat down in a new chair 2 years ago and so it’s easy to get the sense that our political world is in flux, with progressives bashing Obama and conservatives nodding their heads at the [...]
Have the Neo-Con Right and Socialist Left Awakened a Sleeping Giant?
It has been said that future struggles will not be between left and right, but rather between fundamentalist-extremists and moderates. If that is true, a new poll published by the Pew Research Center would indicate that the fundamentalists within American governance have severely overplayed their hand. People inclined to moderate viewpoints are just that- moderate [...]
Sovereignty and Nullification
Who sits at the top of the food chain in the American system of governance? Is it the US Supreme Court? Is it Congress? If you don’t know the answer, just watch this video! This is a 10 minute clip from an event in Tulare, CA. Tulare has been affected by the Federal order to [...]
Tenth Amendment Forum Mixes Candidates, Grassroots
In part two of our Tenth Amendment Forum coverage, we focus on California Gubernatorial candidate Chelene Nightingale. Like the Ron Paul presidential campaign three years ago, Nightingale’s message has resonated in social and alternative media.

Chuck DeVore and Michael Boldin Talk State Sovereignty
At Sunday’s Tenth Amendment Forum in Woodland Hills, US Senate candidate Chuck DeVore and Tenth Amendment Center founder Michael Boldin delivered speeches on state sovereignty and the Tenth Amendment. DeVore explained why politicans must stand behind the constitution with consistency, even when they disagree with the social policy that might result. Boldin covered nullification- in [...]
Baby Boomers: From Selfish to Selfless
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit. -Greek proverb One thing that’s certain about this movement to save the republic from our own centralized state, is that the fruits of our labor are far, far off.
