Stand up and Assert Sovereignty.

Sovereignty is defined as the source from which all governing authority flows. A visitor to America, say a modern Alexis de Tocqueville, might conclude that America is a despotism. Considering we have presidential elections every four years, our imaginary visitor could refine his observations and determine America 2015 to be an elective despotism.

And why not? Obama’s speeches ooze with “I” and “me.” His cabinet secretaries and party have demonstrated loyalty to his person and not the Constitution. Notwithstanding his oath of office, which is a solemn promise to see that the laws be faithfully executed, he pledged to fundamentally transform America. These are mutually exclusive, and we know which one he cherishes.

The essence of sovereignty is law making, and our reps/senators no longer write laws. They draft enabling acts preapproved by the president. Recall that Obamacare was enacted entirely by rats without debate or comprehension. Obamacare enabled Obama to write the healthcare regulations which have the force of law.

When challenged by over half of the states, Scotus dutifully rewrote a penalty into a tax, and ultimately determined that Obama can force you and I to purchase a service we don’t want.

In short, Obama is exercising arbitrary power through constitutional means. Obama and his unelected surrogates determine the righteousness, legality and constitutionality of his acts. This isn’t rule of law. It is force. It is arbitrary. It is despotic. It reflects a practical sovereignty that sits in the Oval Office.

With depressing regularity, Obama absorbs another power or stomps on another right. He took control of spending earlier this year. He makes war where and when he feels like it. The internet is his. He makes treaties.

Our Despot-in-Chief clearly despises free elections. To the extent he puts up with elections at all, election results must conform to his policies. Recall the 2014 mid-terms.

Not two days after the 2014 mid-terms, he informed the nation that he thoroughly understood the tally, that the 70% or so of the electorate that didn’t vote GOP or didn’t vote at all sent the clear message that he was on the right track. Are these pronouncements those of a fellow citizen temporarily elevated to a position of high trust and honor in order to carry out carefully crafted, limited constitutional duties, or are they of a man hostile to free government?

Can we actually expect Obama to risk his transformational legacy on a clean 2016 presidential election, or will his partners in high crimes like the NSA, IRS, FBI ensure the election of a qualified successor?

OTOH, Obama is drunk on power. Who else but He is qualified to exert sovereignty, to continue the despotic transformation of America?

It appears that all the useful instruments are in Obama’s hands. Not quite. The states still exist. Obama does not appoint state legislators. We do.

Sixty-six of ninety-nine state houses are not controlled by rats. State legislators are not YET under his thumb. It is through the states and the states alone that We the Sovereign People can exert our inherent, God-given and Article V power to reassert the American Republic.

Yes, state sovereignty NOW in nullifying unconstitutional federal acts which are acts of tyranny, and later through a difficult but do-able Article V COC.

The G-ive O-bama P-ower (GOP) party
has been an absolute curse on the American people.

I know a public defender.

Every defendant she’s assisted who has declared “sovereignty” has been remanded without bail.

They learn what a BS defense that is in the real world.

We may or may not be sovereign, but once you get into the system your “stand” is going to land you in jail a lot longer than you want.

You can be whatever you wanna be, until you’re standing in front of a Judge.

Sovereignty is a God-given right and is not declared nor is it subjugated. The people have elected an ineligible President Obama with disregard for the Eligibility Clause of the US Constitution. Electing an ineligible President to dismantle the constitutional republic is a sovereign right of the people. An ineligible President voids the US Constitution. Members of Congress and federal judges understand an ineligible voids the US Constitution and are acquising to the ineligible President until a governing document for the States is ratified.

Or quickly and better yet the state legislatures can simply invoke the 10th Amendment and nullify these unconstitutional laws. :-)

Yesterday in my city I saw a police vehicle marked “Federal Protection Police” - a part of Homeland Security. I fear for our states rights!
