Krysia Weidell, candidate for MN SD67, on the 10th amendment

By on September 30, 2010 in Elections, State Sovereignty 0

The following video is an interview by radio talk show host Sue Jeffers of KTLK 100.3 in the Twin Cities.  She is talking with MN State Senate candidate Krysia Weidell.

What a blessing to have a candidate of this caliber stepping up!  We the People need more candidates of this caliber if we ever hope to restore our founders  vision of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For those of us who are sick and tired of electing representatives who take it upon themselves to become our masters, it is our right, it is our duty to elect representatives who will make their allegiance to the Constitution greater than party politics or self.

It is indeed for an honor for this veteran to know Krysia Weidell.

FCC Town Hall Hearing in Minneapolis

By on August 24, 2010 in Big Government 0

On Thursday, August 19th, 2010, a town hall meeting was held in Minneapolis and involved FCC commissioners Cobbs and Clyburn along with Minnesota Senator Al Franken, who had to leave early because his mother-in-law was in town.:)

Senator Franken and the FCC commissioners spoke about how important it would be to install more government regulation.  This time it would be the Internet.  They called it “Save the Internet” or they also referred to it as “Net Neutrality”

Senator Franken mentioned that the large corporations like Comcast, Google, Verizon will install their own framework and platforms that would benefit their bottom line and make it more difficult for Americans to afford what they referred to as the “tier” platform.  They are concerned that poorer class people could only afford a basic speed Internet, while the more affluent people would have access to a faster speed Internet.  They want all people to have access to the same speed.

Let the Cleanup Process Begin

By on June 15, 2010 in Activism, Elections 1

Are you among the growing multitude of Americans that are fedup with tax and spend government; fedup with out of control government; fedup with corrupt government; and fedup with dishonest government?  Let the Cleanup Process Begin!

The first item to consider will be to elect representatives that will make their allegiance to the Constitution greater than party politics or self.  Anything less is just repeating what has not worked for over 100 years.  Let the Cleanup Process Begin

With representatives making their allegiance to the Constitution greater than party politics or self, we can then begin the process of restoring our founder’s vision of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights including the Tenth Amendment.  Let the Cleanup Process Begin.

A government without limits is tyranny and the Tenth Amendment is a check and balance on limits

Take a moment and check out the above link “10-4 Pledge”.  This Tenth Amendment pledge is for anyone seeking a public office.  Make some copies and hand them to candidates at rallies you attend.  Let the Cleanup Process Begin

Thomas Jefferson called the Tenth Amendment a keystone to the Constitution.   

“Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force; where powers are assumed by the federal government which have not been delegated by the Constitution, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.” James Madison, & Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky & Virginia Resolutions, 1798

We are well aware that we are drifting farther and farther from what our Founders intended and closer and closer to a socialist agenda.  Any candidate not willing to Pledge to restore our Founder’s vision of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, including the Tenth Amendment, merely represents more of the same garbage that has mired us, our children and their children in debt, corruption and dishonesty.  WHY would you even consider voting for someone of that caliber again!  Let the Cleanup Process Begin.

Signed Pledges can be emailed to lmoe47@gmail.com  or sent via USPS to:

Minnesota Tenth Amendment Center, 8660 Grospoint Ave S, Cottage Grove, MN  55016

The Option to Say No!

By on December 20, 2009 in Activism, State Sovereignty 4

The following is a letter being sent to legislators in my state of Minnesota:

I, Leon Moe, an American, a Minnesota resident and a disabled combat veteran that took an oath to serve, protect and defend the Constitution, expect nothing less from any elected public servant who also takes an oath to serve, protect and defend the Constitution. I offer this resolution.

I am asking for your help to restore our State Sovereignty as provided under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution by co-authoring Minnesota House Files 997 & 1437, get them to a hearing and then on to the Minnesota House floor for a vote and passed. This non-partisan legislation would be a great step forward to recognize that We the People of Minnesota HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL OPTION to say NO to out of control government spending and taxation, NO to unauthorized, unfunded federal mandates, and NO to unauthorized, unconstitutional federal legislations and regulations.

If you oppose Republican unfunded mandates like No Child Left Behind and undeclared foreign wars you should support this sovereignty resolution. If you oppose Democrat unfunded mandates contained in the Health Care bill and Supreme Court decisions that erode individual and state sovereignty, you should support this resolution. 37 States are now considering Sovereignty Resolutions!

This is a very simple request! Please respond to this e-mail no later than February 5th, 2010.

You have 2 options:

YES; or
NO

Please understand that I do not intend for this to be a meaningless exercise. I will record and publish your responses to this request. If you choose to not respond I will publish that as well. I think your vote will provide powerful evidence of whose side you are on.

Do you represent honest, hard-working Minnesotans? That is, do you represent “the People” referenced in the Tenth Amendment? Or do you represent and bend the knee to party masters in Washington, D.C.? WE THE PEOPLE want to know.

In November of 2010, it is my understanding that all seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives will be up for re-election and your YES or NO response will provide helpful information for me to provide to your constituents and, if necessary, your political opponents.

Thank you.

Simply respond to Leon Moe via email lmoe47@gmail.com no later than February 5th, 2010.

MN Legislature to Make New Effort at Medical Marijuana

By on November 19, 2009 in Drug War, State Sovereignty 5

Tim Pawlenty, the so-called “states’ rights” governor of Minnesota, feels that marijuana should be illegal in his state. OK. I disagree, but I live in California, so if the people of Minnesota agree, that’s their concern. At least that’s how the Constitution see it.

Problem is, Governor Tim has no problem making the people of the other 49 states pay for the enforcement of his beliefs. That’s the position he took when he vetoed a medical marijuana law for MN earlier this year.

By using the veto, he kept enforcement primarily in the hands of the federal DEA – thus, requiring everyone else around the country to pay for it. The proper way to handle it is this – if the people of Minnesota want to arrest and jail people for marijuana, then they should pay for it.

According to the Minnesota Daily, another bill is expected in 2010:

After passing the Legislature last year only to have it vetoed by the governor, supporters of a medical marijuana bill in Minnesota plan to resubmit a similar bill this year.

If it passes the legislature again, this will be another chance for Pawlenty to prove his “states’ rights” cred. Question is – will Pawlenty recognize that marijuana laws are not authorized to the federal government by the Constitution? If so, he’ll sign the bill. If not, just put him in the ranks of yet another 10th Amendment hypocrite on the national republican scene.

Minnesota Sovereignty Project

By on August 8, 2009 in Commentary, Groups 2

You may not have heard much about it, but there’s a movement to reassert state sovereignty and stop the uncontrolled expansion of federal government power.  37 states, including Minnesota, have or are attempting to introduce legislation that will reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution to reinforce that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.
