Nullification makes a comeback—and not just on the Right.

By on June 8, 2010 in Nullification, Uncategorized 1

This article by Jeff Taylor, which recently appeared in The American Conservative, is one of the most well written articles on the subject of nullification I have come across in a while. Although I was a little disappointed that he failed to use Arizona’s Health Care Freedom Amendment, (which will be voted on by the people of Arizona in referendum this November), as an example of popular support for state level resistance to Obamacare, his article is still a wonderful, comprehensive overview of nullification.

”Nullification makes a comeback—and not just on the Right”, is perfect for sharing with people of every background who may be unfamiliar with, or even confused about nullification and the Principles of ‘98. It’s also informative and enjoyable reading for others who already know a great deal about the history of nullification and it’s more recent application in 21st century America.

“Hope 2.0″: Left and Right United Against DC

By on January 25, 2010 in Republocrats, The Opposition 3

Now is the time to expand the coalition of average Americans ready to push back against the corruption in Washington, D.C. Some weeks ago, I wrote about the opportunity that awaited our movement once belief in Barack’s “change” subsided and “hope” ran its course. It seems, now that Obama has had a full 12 months in office, great cracks and fissures have appeared in his support structure. The influential founder of the Huffington Post has come to realize that not even Democrats can save Washington from its corrupting lust for money and control.

“On the eve of the first anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration, it’s become painfully obvious that elected officials are not going to save us. The 2008 election was all about “Hope.” But Hope is simply not cutting it.

What we need is Hope 2.0: the realization that our system is too broken to be fixed by politicians, however well intentioned — that change is going to have to come from outside Washington.” -Arianna Huffington 1/19/10

I never thought I would ever even think this, but maybe it’s time for Arianna to submit an article to Tenth Amendment Center.

Huffington does a fantastic job of expressing what I have so badly wanted to tell her readership for months now – that Washington is beyond reform or repair. Her latest call to action is surprisingly similar to that of the Tea Party Movement.

Is the Left/Right Crossover Moment Upon Us?

By on December 8, 2009 in Activism, Sovereignty Movement, Tenthers 4

joining-forcesAnyone who read comic books knows the term ‘crossover’, in which two heroes from different books join forces for some greater cause, a cause not unlike that which faces all Americans right now.

One thing that the sovereignty movement has lacked during it’s surge these past few months has been proportionate participation from both sides of the political spectrum, a requirement for any successful non-partisan movement. We at TAC have recognized that this was a matter of timing, that the sovereignty movement represented opposition to what many saw as their beloved Obama and therefore was met with closed minds.

Has that phase run it’s course? It would seem likely. Between the recent announcement of US military escalation in Afghanistan, the revelations of very Bush-like opaque tactics continued under Obama and the impending announcement of what may be a concession of the entire republic’s sovereignty at the Copenhagen conference, the Obama ecstasy may be thinning.

We as a movement must take advantage of this opportunity and let the newly disillusioned know that we were on their side all along- despite round after round of misinformation by the establishment media. We must use this opportunity to build our mainstream coalition.

The potential is staggering indeed, when one considers the idea of the formerly left grassroots merging with formerly right grassroots, the result would be a superhero partnership of epic proportions, it would be a force capable of resisting even the most desperate tactics by the centralizers.

I encourage you all to consider this line of thinking right now- in terms of tearing down walls and combining our strength. In terms of ripping down the curtain that hides the true center of power, which is not the president but rather the system itself, a system that is beyond reform and drastically deviant from the intentions of our founding fathers.
