I am often asked by citizens two questions.
#1 ~ How did we get to this point?
#2 ~ What do we do to change this?
I hope this article will help to answer those two important questions.
Joseph Story, who wrote the “Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States” in 1833 espoused the idea of Collectivism. Stating that the United States was derived from a single sovereign people rather than from an agreement among states and the sovereign peoples within each State. This is the view that has been taught in our schools ever since. This is what has given us all the mind set that created a monopolistic central authority as the source of all power, giving the states a lesser role making the states believe their powers and privileges from this central authority is handed down to them . This not only made a drastic change in our Federal Court System but our Education System as well.
If you will look at the Bill of Rights and when each were ratified, you will see AFTER 1833 the Amendments slowly destroyed the rock solid base of the Original Intent of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Even our Law Students are not taught the truth that our Constitution was a Compact between the states which then “created” the central Government hemmed in with their restricted authority.
Words are a power tool in the battle of our minds and for far too long Words have been twisted and distorted in order to keep us from standing up for our True Law! This is why I no longer say “United States” The Collective Mindset. We need to take our language back and say it like it really is: STATES UNITED in the common goal of reclaiming our true Power and Sovereignty.
Not only have we been trained to think of the central government as the only authority to hand down the states and people “rights and powers” we have been taught it is traitorous not to pledge your allegiance to the government and flag. This part may astound you; Do you know the man, Francis Bellamy, who wrote the original Pledge in August of 1892 was a socialist? He was kicked out of his own church where he was the minister due to his socialist sermons. Click here to see the history of Francis Belamy. Edward Bellamy, Francis’ first cousin was more known due to his book, Looking Backward published in 1892. He was the Leader of the Nationalism movement which was a socialist movement. A branch off of the Nationalism movement was the Christian society of Socialist. Click here to read more on about these movements.
Time to wake up sovereign people in sovereign states! The wall of protection, STATE, to provide to their Sovereign Citizens has been broken down. It is time we Rebuild that wall and it starts in our towns. We must “flip” the pyramid of thinking of power in this country.
The best way to go about this is by cleaning up our towns and pushing out the Federal Funds of Operation. We are so use to thinking our towns are to be part of a corporate puzzle in which funds from the central government handed down from our states with full strings attached is the way we are to operate. Get into your town governments, look at the codes and statutes. Come together to find a way to take your town back as a protection of your sovereign rights as a citizen in that town. At the same time network with the other towns in your county to begin doing the same to clean up and change the county. Then the counties network to make the push for the state government to re-establish the role as defenders of the state citizens from the central government.
The bottom line of a Wisconsin Resolution of 1859 states: that a POSITIVE DEFIANCE of those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done or attempted to be done under color of that instrument, is the RIGHTFUL REMEDY! Our goal is Nullification with Positive Defiance and Resistance of the citizens in each State.
Allow me to give you a very brief language lesson:
The word Sovereignties: Lets us break that down. First of all it is a Plural. The plural is created by breaking down the connection creating the plural. Sovereign meaning: One that exercises supreme, permanent authority. Ties meaning: To bring together in relationship; connect or unite. It is not the Central Government that Ties our Authority, It is the Constitution that unites our permanent authority!
So now lets us look at the way the Central Government is trying to strike TERROR in the hearts of the citizens within each sovereign state by Demonizing those of us who stand by our Oath to Defend and Protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. The true FEAR of the Central Government is that we are Dangerous because we will educate the people of their true power!
To use their own words I will say to the Central Government ~ “DON’T BE HATEN!”
To ALL of those who have taken this oath in their capacity of peace keepers I say; “Wake Up” and HONOR AND LIVE BY THE OATH YOU TOOK!
To All the People I say; “YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM US WHO ARE EXERCISING OUR RIGHT OF POSITIVE DEFIANCE!” The only danger coming from us is the EXPOSURE OF THE DEFACTO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT!
Allow me the courtesy of sharing a statement found in the Virginia Resolution of 1798. James Madison wrote:
That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.

The Tenth Amendment Center is here as a resource to help citizens take back their country. We are also looking for more citizens who would like to volunteer their talents in helping others!
If you would like to see the Nullify Now! tour to come to your area please go to this link NullifyNow! , up top click on the “Tour” Tab to see where the next tours will be as well as sign up requesting the tour in your state.
The bottom line is ~ We MUST agree upon the Original Intent of the Constitution and Bill of Rights 1-10 and AGREE TO DISAGREE ON EVERYTHING ELSE!
I would like to connect with those who are working within their towns and have some effective ways to combat and clean up their local government. I would like to be able to construct a format that can be used by any town to begin to take their own action.
