Visiting (Radical) Wisconsin

By on August 27, 2010 in Announcements 0

Wisconsin is the state that most defiantly nullified the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (as I discuss in Nullification), quoting the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and 1799 in its defense; today it’s the headquarters of the Bring the Guard Home movement.  Wisconsin Public Radio interviewed me for an hour about Meltdown and for another hour about Nullification, and I was treated rather better than leftists would likely have been treated on many right-wing programs.

This Saturday I’ll be in Eau Claire (not far from Minnesota) for the day, beginning with a book signing open to the public and continuing with a dinner, talk, and after-party.  Hope to cause some mischief.

Passing the Baton

By on August 27, 2010 in Announcements 0

We’ve got some exciting plans here in Utah for how to reassert and reinforce the 10th amendment, and are looking forward to expanding our volunteer base and organizational structure to make that happen. With the excellent foundation that Gary Wood has laid so far as State Coordinator, starting today I’ll now be filling that role (and Gary’s big shoes). Gary will be our Educational Advisor and we’re really looking forward to his continued input and direction in helping us make more Utahns aware of the importance of the 10th amendment.

Charles Key on Oklahoma Sovereignty

By on August 26, 2010 in Announcements, Sovereignty Movement, State Sovereignty 0

We’re pleased to announce that Oklahoma State Rep Charles Key, author of many sovereignty-related bills in his state, will be joining us as a featured speaker at Nullify Now! in Fort Worth on September 4th. Get tickets by calling 888-71-TICKETS, or click here to reserve them online.

The following video is a 2009 interview with Key about the 10th Amendment Resolution he authored for Oklahoma, saying no to the Real ID act in the states, and more.

“The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and it specifically delegates certain powers to the federal government. All other powers are reserved to the People or the States. The Federal government has moved out of that framework over the last several decades.”

“The Constitution either mean what is says, or it doesn’t mean anything at all.”

House Resolution introduced reaffirming federalism

By on August 2, 2010 in Announcements, Congress 1

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Congressional 10th Amendment Task Force last week introduced a House Resolution, reaffirming Congress’ commitment to the principle of federalism and the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The resolution specifically calls for “real decentralization of power” and recognizes that “the cause of liberty demands that government should be made accountable again to the consent of the governed” through the restoration of American federalism.

“The Founding Fathers’ vision of a limited national government of enumerated powers has gradually given way to an intrusive, irresponsible, and virtually omnipotent national government. I am proud to be among the efforts to engaged and educate other Members of Congress on the importance of restoring federalism principles in Congress,” said Congressman Rob Bishop (R-UT), co-founder of the 10th Amendment Task Force.

What can be done when the Federal Government passes Unconstitutional Laws?

Even more importantly, what can be done when the Federal Government acts as if it is its own Judge and Jury on whether the laws it passes are Legal and Valid?

Are We The People Powerless?

The answer is NO; the Principle of Nullification – where States and Citizens declare an obviously Unconstitutional Law NULL AND VOID is a Basic Principle of how America was founded.

Find out how Nullification **Which Was Used AGAINST Slavery and ON BEHALF OF Black Americans**…. Is Being Used Today to Stem the Tide of the Constant Encroachment of the Federal Government and, most importantly, How it will – again – Make America Stronger.

Discussing the Undiscussable

By on July 22, 2010 in Activism, Announcements, Nullification 3

This Saturday I’ll be speaking twice in Austin, Texas, on — you’ll never guess — state nullification.  So far I’ve been having fun discussing this forbidden idea. The regime and its journalists expect the people to confine themselves to a discussion set on the central government’s terms.  We are not allowed to propose an idea that’s nowhere to be found on the three-by-five card of acceptable opinion.  Yet here we are.

Radio hosts have been much more receptive to the idea than I expected.  Most of the big radio hosts are of course playing it safe and refusing to discuss the issue, but I am consistently encountering sympathetic personalities who think the argument makes sense.  The Globe and Mail columnist Lew mentioned seems to like the book as well.  This is the second-largest newspaper in Canada.  He writes, “Quebec nullifies federal law all the time and Alberta nullifies it occasionally. Yet the country thrives. The fact is we need all the nullifiers we can get. It’s never wise to give a centralized government anything that approaches a quasi-monopoly on power.”
