Link of the Day


Tenth Amendment Center’s 2011 Nullify Now! tour

Nullification is happening right now! Just last week, the Idaho House and the North Dakota Senate passed a Health Care Nullification Act. Nine other states are considering the same. Multiple states have passed firearms freedom acts, with more coming soon. All across the country, people are saying “enough is enough” to the federal government. The states CAN stop DC - with Nullification!
Patriot Action Network is sponsoring the Tenth Amendment Center’s 2011 Nullify Now! tour to educate and activate on these important Constitutional principles. (there’s even a FREE ticket offer for 03-05!)
New speakers, more locations, and all the info is here:


At Nullify Now, here’s what you’ll learn:

--what exactly IS nullification?
--the historical, constitutional, and moral basis for nullification
--the history story never told - how states rights and nullification helped fight off slavery laws in the 1800s
--how nullification is being used around the country right now
--why the constitution isn’t about political parties - it’s about liberty
--what you can do today to stand up for the constitution

*******

What do we do when the federal government violates the Constitution? Thomas Jefferson gave us the answer. In 1798 he wrote that "whensoever" the federal government "assumes undelegated powers," that a "nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."

Video Pick of the Day




from facebook

Fox news finally starts reporting on state nullification. DailyKos editor is livid! Nullification is here to stay....
blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com
Indeed, the people of the United States are beginning to catch on, and I think a lot of Americans on both sides of the political aisle like the idea of holding the federal government in check.

Quote of the Day

"Just as we did at the foundation of our great nation, the Commonwealth of Virginia continues to lead.

As soon as the ink dried on President Obama's signature making official the federal takeover of our healthcare system, my friend, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, filed suit in federal court to protect the people and laws of Virginia.

And not surprisingly, some of the Democrats in Virginia have launched attacks. First, they sent out a college professor to criticize the merits of Ken's lawsuit. It turned out that this professor was a major donor to the Democratic Party and was a member of the radical liberal group MoveOn.org.

The next attack on Ken was that he was wasting our hard earned tax dollars on this lawsuit.

Well, as it turned out, that lawsuit cost the taxpayers a total of $350 dollars.

Yesterday, I was proud to see Governor McDonnell officially sign legislation introduced by Senators Jill Vogel and Steve Martin that makes it illegal to force Virginians to purchase health insurance. Virginia continues to lead, but we are not done yet.

Many of you have asked how you can support Attorney General Cuccinelli's principled leadership on this important issue.

The answer is simple, and in this particular case it doesn't revolve around money or spending hours volunteering. Ken needs you to sign to his petition today.

Ken's petition can be found at his website www.Cuccinelli.com.

Once you have signed this petition, please forward it to five of your closest friends and ask them to sign the petition as well. This is too important to wait!

Virginia is on solid legal footing, but we need to show that we have the support of voters such as you.

Thank you for standing strong for freedom with us for the rights and prerogatives of the people of Virginia."

George Allen
