By now we have all heard the cliches and seen the posters from the “Tea Parties” espousing freedom, less government, and perhaps most of all, how the federal government had better back off trying to shove their national healthcare down our otherwise healthy throats.
The truth of the matter is all the slogans of “Don’t Tread On Me” or “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” or “We’re Mad As Hell And We’re Not Taking It Anymore,” don’t mean a thing when compared to reality; the real and actual answer to all the protests, marches, and outrage.
The answer is in our own backyards! The States can stop every bit of it! That’s right, the individual States can stop “Obamacare” and all other forms of out-of-control federal government mandates and “big brother” tactics.

I wouldn't be surprised if he were a charter member but I don't believe he is a founder. Also, he and a Montana sheriff sued the federales some years back re a "mandate" to enforce Brady Bill requirements by local sheriffs' departments. It made it to the SCOTUS where the two sheriffs won the case against the feral government.
Yes indeed. Good to know there are people of Sheriff Mack’s caliber and background on the “right” side.
