37 states have taken up legislation to essentially resurrect the nullification doctrine and void the enforcement of the blatantly unconstitutional individual mandate should ObamaCare pass.

Ya gotta love it. Stuff like this keeps me from feeling hopeless and like, "What's the use to try", and from going insane.

Yes, the spirit of the South is rising again, but this time it’s different. This time it’s all over the country.

Same principle -- different triggering issue (I wanted to say different stimulus, but I thought that in poor taste right now.)

[pissant]

How about working on restoring the republic and cutout the secession BS

In 2009, the Chicago Machine invaded the South. Time to secede!

It is time. I'll repost this here having every intention of fannign the flames. This is from dougie, one of queen nancy's henchmen. The pigs of the demorats are trying to make this a decree and now a part of an orderly Constitutional process. How do we start? From: Thornell, Doug [mailto:Doug.Thornell@mail.house.gov]

Subject: Tea Party Etiquette TO: Freshman and Sophomore House Democrats FROM: Office of the Assistant to the Speaker DATE: March 15, 2010 RE: Tea Party Etiquette As many of you have read, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 16, 2010, tens of thousands of conservative and Tea Party activists will be on the Hill as part of what they are dubbing a “Surge Against Obamacare.” Rick Scott, a multimillionaire investor and former hospital executive, is helping to lead the grassroots effort along with a number of other groups on the right like Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks. While many of you have met with outspoken activists in your districts in the past, we wanted to remind you of some of the best practices to review with your DC staff: 1. Be prepared. Activists are expected to begin arriving around 9am and they have been given instructions to wait in your office until they can have a meeting. Please have an orderly process and enough staff and interns to welcome what could be a very large number of visitors throughout the day: · Have staff and/or Member time set-aside to visit with attendees in small groups; · Ask for extra chairs or seating to be brought to your office or the hall in case there are seniors or disabled visitors that need to be accommodated; · Consider having some light snacks, H2O, and coffee available; · Ask visitors to leave all signs and banners outside the office. 2. Prioritize listening to your constituents: · Have multiple guest books/comment sheets available for all visitors to sign-in and leave comments — we recommend you have one for residents of your district, one for residents of your state (but not your district), and one for out-of-state visitors. Have a Capitol Directory and map available to direct visitors to their Member of Congress and written instructions on how to get over to the Senate side of the Hill. · There is limited rationale for your Member to meet with out-of-district constituents, especially if you already had other business or meetings previously scheduled with constituents who had planned to visit with you tomorrow on other topics. It is up to individual offices to decide if staff would like to take these meetings. 3. Listen and communicate in small groups: · As we learned in August, small groups are typically the best venue for exchanges on this complicated topic. · Many of the conservative activists are not opposing the actual provisions in the bill, but are instead reacting to a caricature of the reform bill presented by right-wing media outlets. In fact, many conservative and GOP ideas and concerns are addressed in the legislation: ü Reduces the deficit; ü Cracks down on Medicare waste, fraud, and abuse; ü Provides historic tax credit for small businesses and individuals to purchase health insurance; ü Allows consumers to shop for health insurance across state lines via multi-state compacts; ü Inaugurates medical malpractice reforms, (an area where the GOP failed to take any action when in charge of Congress for 12 years). · Also, don’t assume common myths about this bill have been debunked. Be prepared to explain that there are no death panels, that Medicare is in fact strengthened, and that reform is not a government take-over, but it is an attempt to crack down on the abusive practices of health insurance companies by providing oversight and increasing competition. · Finally, work to establish common-ground with visitors by ensuring they are aware and supportive of the important changes that will take place immediately: ü Offer tax credits to small businesses to purchase coverage; ü Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions for children in all new plans; ü Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high-risk pool; ü Prohibit dropping people from coverage when they get sick in all individual plans; ü Eliminate lifetime limits and restrictive annual limits on benefits in all plans; ü Require premium rebates to enrollees from insurers with high administrative expenditures and require public disclosure of the percent of premiums applied to overhead costs; ü Ensure consumers have access to an effective internal and external appeals process to appeal new insurance plan decisions; ü Require plans to cover an enrollee’s dependent children until age 26; ü Require new plans to cover preventive services and immunizations without cost-sharing; ü Relief on the Donut Hole. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Screw secession, kick the marxists out this time.

[Inyo-Mono]

It can be nasty. My great-grandfathers took up arms against the tyranny of the Federal Government in 1861. As a result, their family’s homes and businesses were burned to the ground and namesake great-grandfather was taken prisoner. I also had seven ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. They lost much. But, I am ready to follow in their path.

[gwjatjjm America]

I am not for Secession just yet. First I wanna fight to kick the Marxists, Socialist, Progressives and RINO’s from power.

Should the left wing retain power after the 2012 election, than yes, I think the southern states shoul seceed.

Nancy’s trying to nullify A-10.

Nonsense. This nullification stuff is political pandering for your consumption only. I’m convinced that if Obamacare passes, there will be a lot of huffing and puffing, and some near-term election losses for the Dems, but the Republicans will only trim around the edges, while the roots of Statism and Fedzilla continue to grow. That’s what Obama is counting on.

[Bean Counter]

I would feel a lot better if I saw a joint statement from 37 State Attorney Generals, informing the Federal government of their intention to file a Class Action lawsuit with a request for an emergency stay of all provisions of this legislation should any of it be “approved” by this Congress.

The State AGs have the power to do exactly that, and I would argue, a duty.

1804 Hartford Convention

Mr. Heck demonstrates both his lack of knowledge of US history and of basic arithmetic. He thinks that the War of 1812 happened before 1804.

[dajeeps]

I don’t know about the revisionist history, but there is certainly something to be said for the 10th amendment regarding the HCR bill.

Before I get flamed, I’m not saying that the Civil War was about slaves as I know it wasn’t. But the invasion of the South had a lot to do with what happened at Fort Sumter and the politics that had surrounded the slavery issue for about 5 years prior. It was the same kind of arrogance surrounding the HCR bill as was around the Kansas-Nebraska Act and associated events that acts like cascading dominoes putting people in untenable situations on down the line and ticks them off.

Government became self-serving just as it is now and the political system failed. It was such a mess that the people had to sort it out and we will. Hopefully we will do it this time without bloodshed.

[budwiesest]

The North won last time and look what we’ve become. Perhaps we should let the South take the next hundred years or so to see what they can do with it. (Better yet, let’s get rid of socialist/communist liberals and get back to living like Americans)

The South is Rising Again (Spirit of Secession is Nationwide)

It won't be a secession of one group of states from the other states; it'll be an excision and expelling by the states of the cancerous tumor of a federal government that is killing the body politic. The nation is the people, not the government.
