Nulllification can lead to a State Economic and Prosperity Plan

Hear ye, hear ye.   Pull your chair up to the edge of the precipice. I have a story to tell…

Nullification can imply, if not be the road to  economic and prosperity as an action plan, demonstrating that State Soverignty is good the well being of its citizens.  Putting together three of TAC’s 10th Amendment legislations, plus creating a Health Free Zone in your  State could be the basis for revitalizing and promoting economic and prosperity for all in the State!

Based on a recent article, Create the first Health Freedom Zone in America. a live talk show referencing a couple great health reform ideas, Mike Adams has triggered an Action Plan for any state to move toward sovereignty. I am calling it the 2+2 plan= State Economic & Prosperity Plan.  Whether your State is nullifying ObamaCare or not, this plan opens the health field to competition, and creates a mecca for bringing commerce and prosperity to your State.

The 2+2 is a core strategy for state sovereignty and freedom.  The ‘+2′ part of the plan is a one-two punch for health, wealth and prosperity, but not self-reliance and the full blessings of liberty for you and your progeny.  Together, they are almost invincible.

The first ‘2′ in the “2+2″ is based on sovereignty principles for any state, country or wannabe self-sustaining jurisdiction. The ‘+2′ is viable actions a state can take.  Both 2′s in the ’2+2′ are things a state can do using legislation, the Tenth Amendment, honor ‘the blessings of freedom,’ and create a viable economy in these trying and surely to become darker times ahead.

There are two fundamental principles for creating a viable self sustaining, self reliant and self standing state:  gaining control of the Purse & Sword. This is based on the solid work of Dr Vieira, the constitutional lawyer who advances this theme (video).  TAC has been tracking this, the Purse idea via the Constitutional Tender legislation and the Sword via the Defend the Guard legislation tracking .

Safeguard Wisconsin’s Guard from needless deployment

For the first time in recent history, citizens of Wisconsin have the opportunity to help answer the question “Who decides about war?” As part of a national movement of nearly two dozen states, on Tuesday, March 9, at 1 p.m. at the State Capitol in Madison, the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee of the state Assembly plans to hold a public hearing on Assembly Bill 203, the “Safeguard the Guard Act.”

AB 203 establishes the governor’s duty to review federal orders calling the Wisconsin National Guard into national service for their legality and validity. The bill makes sure that no Wisconsin guardsman or woman is removed from their job, education, community or family absent a clear act of Congress authorizing their mission. This is the reason why AB 203 is called the “Safeguard the Guard Act.”

Why are legal safeguards on federal deployments of our Guard needed? Let’s look at the use of the Guard by the last president. In 2002, Congress authorized the use of military force in Iraq with two criteria: Remove Saddam Hussein and find Iraq’s supposed WMDs. By 2004, Hussein was long gone and no weapons of mass destruction were found. The mission in Iraq was, in Bush’s words, “accomplished.” But Wisconsin Guard continued to be deployed overseas. Thousands of them sacrificed financially, psychologically and in their careers; nearly 100 Wisconsin Guard members were killed.

We can’t go back and repair the damage done, but we can take action for today and tomorrow. In March 2010, another 400 men and women in the Wisconsin National Guard will be sent to Iraq, in yet another unauthorized deployment.

And it is sadly likely that future conflicts will arise between America and other foreign countries — just look at our current relationships with North Korea, Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela. A sensible safety net in AB 203 could prevent the unauthorized use of the Guard in future conflicts, and ensure that the primary mission of the Guard — to defend the homeland from invasion and natural disaster — is honored. That is the mission these women and men signed up for, after all.

Support for the Safeguard the Guard Act is widespread across the political spectrum. Some support it because they believe that America’s military capacity has been undermined in reckless adventurism abroad. Others support it because they see a defensive force being transformed into a tool for occupation and empire. Still others — especially veterans of other services — see the way the Guard have been used for purposes they were not trained for — used as IED fodder, for example. Yet whether one is a Libertarian, a Republican, a Green or a Democrat (members of all four parties support this act), the common point of agreement is this: Just as Wisconsin’s Guard has a duty to us, so too do we have a duty to them.

Please do your duty and let your legislator know that you support AB 203.
