I hope you’re right, but don’t count on it. Politicians at ANY level, federal or state, are interested in power, first and foremost. Just as Washington politicians have sold out the nation and the American people, state politicians will cheerfully sell out their states for the right “incentives.” The one great blunder made by the founders was the failure to include term limits in the Constitution. They believed the people would overturn any government, long before it became as corrupt as ours. So although I’d be pleased if you turned out right, I’m betting on the armed revolution.
Stage Two – Enforcement and the Second Amendment - States claim their rights to regulate weapons.
The Final Stage – Retaking Total Power - 3/4 states do the above and Fed Power is superceded.
The above condensed from the Article.
The term “United States” was termed by John Jay when he negotiated the Jay Treaty that ended the revolutionary war. John Jay insisted that King George regard the former colonies as “States”. Up to that point a “State” was a sovereign nation like France or Spain. Therefore the thirteen colonies had become thirteen thirteen sovereign states (or Nations) that united to become the Republic known (thanks to Jay) as the “United States of America”
PS
John Jay is my great great great great great grandfather.
All it takes is ONE state to not forward gathered tax revenue to the Federal Government for one month.
That can be done the State’s congress.
Who of FReepers will join in and make a real effort, instead of just words???
Perhaps if all laws expired five years from their creation date, and if each law must be fully read into the record in order to be renewed.
That would put a governor on the government. Even with their little speed-reader trick we would come out ahead.
Then tie salaries to the median income, and benefits to median levels. They can make more money only by making the country more prosperous.
No matter how bad term limits might be with respect to losing good, experienced people, they are offset by orders of magnitude in getting rid of the bad ones. Although cream rises to the top, so does scum.
Interesting rear/take on this situation.
Thank you for posting.
The point is that all of the bambam voters have no idea about states rights. They voted for him because he was black. I should say He IS Black. There is nothing to remove the color.
People will have to figure out if it is worth it to go out and regain their basic freedoms from bam’s tyranical government.
Well?
Good stuff, but I don’t see it happening without a Second Civil War. Rural vs Urban. American vs Socialistic Communism. And one which end in the deaths of some 100+ million Americans due to starvation, disease and civil conflict.
