Thanks for posting this.
It has recently come to me that the only way out of our current Constitutional crisis is for states to retake their rights and JUST SAY NO to the Federal government.
There is no way we can stop this massive expansion other than at the state level.
There is a 17 minute video at this link that I found very interesting:

If you watch this you, hopefully, will realize that this is exactly the tactic, used by radicals, that has gotten us into this mess. But, it is also the way out. We have better ideas than the leftists, we have historical fact on our side and we need to start and/or continue to develop this strategy in order to save our country from a government that is simply out of control.
BTW, see my tagline

deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Which is why the corruption and bastardization of our election process is what has destroyed this Republic.
IMHO, execution by hanging is the just punishment for anyone caught and convicted of violation of election law. The full power of the Justice Department should be brought to bear to investigate any inconsistencies in any election.
I won't be holding my breath on that one.

The 10th Amendment was ratified as an exclamation point on the Constitution – and it lays out in plain English that our federal government is to be one of limited, enumerated powers – not the nearly unlimited, unchecked one that it has become today.
