States Rush to Check Runaway Fed

[Twana Blevins]

 

We had to keep this private until now, because other groups and individuals would have worked hard to sabotage it ... just watch ... it will go on here and all over the net. That is why we had to get this legislation in on several state dockets first.

Penned by JB Williams

As the battle between good and evil, freedom and free-stuff, patriot and pretender heats up, the battle lines become clearer. Both friend and foe draw into stark contrast, separating patriot from pretender, bringing fair-weather friends into focus.

Every true patriot knows that we are not being presented with any patriotic candidates in the 2012 Presidential election, unless we use the broadest possible definition of the term patriot. So, people still pontificating over who will be the RNC or DNC nominee are only pretending to engage in saving this country from ruin. They are still looking for a savior instead of doing some saving…

It was clear that Mitt Romney was the RNC chosen one long before the process started, just like McCain in 2008. Patriots cannot change that, they don’t know how…

Every patriotic American with a pulse and an IQ above 70 knows that no one in our current federal government is going to act to save America, our Constitutional Republic or even our economic system. The Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches all act as one now -- all in pursuit of the same International plot for Global Governance, and all beyond their authority, above the law and without any regard for the will of the American people or their states.

For heaven’s sake – our federal government has already identified everyone opposed to global socialism as a “potential domestic terrorist” – an “extremist.” They are cross-training military and law enforcement how to deal with patriots unwilling to go along quietly. How much more do we need to see before we get the picture?

No intelligent patriot honestly expects any of the 2012 candidates to be able to alter this reality no matter which of them is elected in November. All four GOP candidates combined could not reverse the current collision-course of this nation --- only the people have the power to do that and they do not have the power to do it from Washington DC, no matter which party holds power in DC!

We all see GOP candidates pandering for the Latino vote by promising not to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, one way or another. We see American citizens being treated like common criminals as they attempt to travel while known terrorists are allowed to operate in training camps and Mosques right here on American soil, enjoying the Constitutional protections that American citizens no longer have.

We watch the Federal Government drag state after state into Federal court to stop states from running their own affairs, securing their own people or balancing their own budgets. We watch the courts rule repeatedly that that people don’t matter, and that they have no rights to know who is sitting in their White House, running their monetary system or making laws in this country today. We watch federal court judges dictate state policy, even over the power of statewide referendums. The insanity has reached critical mass here folks and still, most Americans are only pretending to do something about it!

Over the last six months, I have been asked hundreds of times by good solid patriots, why most Americans are still at best, pretending to fight back against the theft of our nation? My answer is this…

• Many who claim to be patriots are not… they are the enemy within.
• Many, who are true patriots, don’t know what to do or whom to trust…
• Many who know what to do, lack the guts to do it…
• Pretending is within their comfort zone – doing is not!

An then, there are those few who know what to do and have the courage to do it, no matter the odds and no matter the consequences.

This nation, freedom and liberty, our Constitutional Republic, can only be saved one state at a time now. Washington DC is corrupt beyond repair. All three branches need a major house cleaning before the people can rely upon the federal government for anything American. Our Federal Government is just a tool of International Socialism now, operating UN Agendas not American agendas.

That means that freedom and liberty must be defended by the states under their Constitutional Balance of Power, or we are headed to Civil War wherein the people will have no choice but to take matters into their own hands.

Simply stated, only the states can make the Constitution matter again… The Constitution does not matter to the Federal Government today. Only the states, the members of that compact, can make it matter again.

Power simply must be put back in balance before the entire constitutional system of self-governance totally collapses. Only the states have the power and the constitutional position to do it. The states and the people have rights, protected by the U.S. Constitution.

If the Constitution does not exist, then the union of states it formed does not exist. The union of states exists only so long as the Constitution remains in full force and effect. Washington DC has chosen to ignore this reality and it is up to state governments to place the power in the country back in proper balance by enforcing the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution.

People like Senators Klein, Burges, Griffin, Melvin and Shooter of ..., take their jobs very seriously when it comes to protecting and preserving state sovereignty, state’s rights, the citizens of Arizona and the rule of constitutional law. In SB1358, the Arizona Senate has set a course to put power back in constitutional balance between the Federal Government and the State of Arizona.

Other state legislators like Nebraska’s Christensen and LB1171are acting to save their states from increasing federal tyranny that is forcing every state into insolvency and federal dependency. The fight is at the state line now and state legislators are finally beginning to act in protection of their citizens and preservation of the constitutional union of states.

Organizations like U.S. Patriots Union and Veteran Defenders of America are establishing peaceful ground-game strategies for taking America back one state at a time, through action items like their Balance of Powers model legislation, now being introduced in numerous states across the country.

While many still hold out hope that some new federal candidate will become a new age messiah that saves a corrupted system from itself, many patriots are uniting in real and tangible actions designed to put the balance of American power back in the hands of the people and their states, where it belongs. While many talk, some are busy doing!

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.- Amendment IX

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.- Amendment X

True constitutional power rests with the people. The states are granted certain powers by the people - to govern on behalf of the people. The Federal Government has no power beyond that which the people and their states have granted it via the U.S. Constitution. If the federal government insists upon living beyond those powers in tyrannical form, the states have the right, the power and the duty to force the Federal government back into constitutional compliance, or, dissolve the union.

“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution;”- Article VI

So-called Right-wing Extremists are no threat to American sovereignty and security. The Left-wing terrorists who think they are democratically elected dictators in Washington DC are the true threat to American sovereignty and security and American patriotsare fed up with the destruction of the greatest nation ever known to mankind.

Freedom and liberty can be restored in America, but not from Washington DC. The people will have to do it, one state at a time, sweeping across this country like a brushfire raging out of control until every state in the union has freed itself from federal tyranny and reclaimed its constitutional place in the balance of powers that our Founders established 225 years ago.

State governments must reclaim their constitutional powers and protect the rights of their people, or, the people will find themselves in a second Civil War.

More than anywhere else on earth, the American human spirit demands freedom and liberty and will not relinquish those freedoms for a pittance in free-stuff from corrupt politicians. When the rule of law no longer matters to the ruling class, the voting class will make up a new set of laws and institute a new form a justice.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

The states must force constitutional federal reform, or the people are left with no alternative but to abolish and institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.

The Constitution stands as written and ratified (or) the union it formed collapses with it.

The people who sold out our Constitutional Republic for Global Governancemust pay the ultimate price for their crimes of high treason.

Freedom and Liberty will prevail in the end, no matter the cost… But the people and the states can limit the casualties by acting peacefully and constitutionally now. Members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution. - Article VI

May God bless the greatest nation on earth and the true patriots who must act to save her!

I live in Washington state with the vast majority being ultra liberal Democrats. No matter where you go in the system, the representatives and local government is Democrats and trying to challenge them is an inpossibility. I agree that all change must come from the state level, it is so bad here, that I can't find one singe conservative lawyer to take my case. I have been trying to make sure Obama doesn't get on the ballot in this state, no avail. It is disheartening to be around this, but we can't afford to move somewhere else.

[robert baker]

Yea...I made the effort in Oregon with the same result. I may have to walk to get to Texas when this thing comes down!

[Twana Blevins]

Edie, sad to say, but I believe that work is dead in the water now. The judicial system has also been fully infiltrated and judges cower to this administration. I wish it were different but we have too many factual cases to show us this is correct.

If your state is not or will not get on board with this, then see if you can help a neighboring state. My state rules say the legislators can't put forth any bills after a said date. We're past that said date. I'm looking to help one of my neighboring states.

[phrowt]

Twana, there is still time in Florida and California.  The Obamabollotchallenge may make it in Florida but California is stuggling.  It would be a terrific thing if either of these States were able to keep him off the ballot.

Semper Fi

[robert baker]

"State governments must reclaim their constitutional powers and protect the rights of their people, or, the people will find themselves in a second Civil War." Unfortunately I reside in Oregon...in many ways this state is LEFT of Massachusetts.

[Juanita B Padberg]

I'll be watching this the 22nd.  I wish I could have found reference to other states beside AZ and NE. I know that TN had a Nullification of NDAA but apparently it got put on a shelf in committee!! I've written, emailed and called my State Rep., but no reply and whoever answers the phone, knows nothing. Know that states can Nullify any bill passed by the Feds, and should ESPECIALLY PASS THE ONES (WHICH ARE MOST) THAT VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION!! Guess it looks and sounds good when they say they're working on a bill, but then stick it on a shelf.  Here NDAA was a bill that Sheriffs wanted Nullified, and haven't heard them hollaring about it now. 

[Twana Blevins]

Juanita, this is something you could work on and maybe even lead in your state.You seem very active, I would suggest you find some true patriots in your state that you already know and see what you all can do. Look for people who are not always trying to get you to do what they want you to do, but to folks who are looking for the right thing to do....not for agenda, but for country.

Also note, this legislation sets up a mechanism that stops all Fed. encroachment. Not a one of one basis that keeps us running around in courts that are not our friends, but one mechanism for all encroachments. It's time to focus, we have no time left to be distracted with the daily things DC throws at us to keep us distracted and busy with so they can destroy this country with no real stops in their way.

[Johnny Smith]

I am posting the link to the Balance of Powers Act within this article to my face book page. I have already sent it to a few of my friends via email. If we could get enough states to enact this as legislation we could fix most of our countries problems rather quickly. Thanks for the great post. I have also started to read on the PatriotsUnion.org site as well, looks to be some very interesting material. I am contemplating sending the Act to my state senator and reps also. THANK YOU!

[Twana Blevins]

Thank you Johnny!

[Twana Blevins]

Johnny, This has been sent to all GOP State Legislators this afternoon. Your works will reinforce it.

Balance of Powers Act FACTS

A standard set of false assumptions has led to improper interpretations of the Balance of Powers Act and improper use of Constitutional text to subvert State’s Rights under Constitutional Law.

·         The Balance of Powers Act is “unconstitutional” as it challenges Federal Supremacy.

This is a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of the Federal Supremacy clause in the US Constitution. “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.”

The only federal laws that enjoy supremacy over state and local laws are those which are themselves “constitutional.” – Unconstitutional federal laws, mandates, executive orders, judicial lawmaking by fiat, DO NOT enjoy supremacy over anyone or anything. Any federal act which is not within the enumerated powers of the federal government, not passed into law via constitutional legislative process, or are in direct violation of constitutional protections, DO NOT have federal supremacy. The US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. The Balance of Powers Act does NOT challenge the supremacy of constitutional acts, but only unconstitutional acts.

·         Federal Courts have authority over the Constitutionality of state actions.

 

No, federal courts have no jurisdiction over the constitutionality of state actions. “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.”

 

The US Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in all matters in which a State is Party to the action, especially in actions between the Federal Government and a State. This clause exists to protect the integrity of the union and the balance of powers between the Federal Government and each State. It exists so that the US Supreme Court is the original arbiter of all disputes between the Federal Government and a State, avoiding years of expensive battles in lower courts and settling disputes swiftly and efficiently.

 

·         If the Balance of Powers committee determines a federal act to be unconstitutional, the state AG must file suit against the Federal Government.

 

Wrong. The state legislature can and should simply reject the implementation of the unconstitutional act within the borders of the state and notify the Federal Government of such actions. In the event that the Federal Government chooses to challenge those actions by the State, they must do so in the US Supreme Court only, which the constitution gives original jurisdiction on all such matters. The State AG will then defend those State actions in the US Supreme Court.

 

·         States lost their Tenth Amendment Rights in the Civil War.

 

Wrong. The union of fifty sovereign states is a very carefully crafted and fragile union. The union of states exists due to, and is subject to all of the terms and conditions of that union, including the Bill of Rights. The Constitution means exactly what it says, or it means absolutely nothing at all. The Tenth Amendment states – “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

 

This Amendment exists so that there could be no doubt that our Federal Government has very limited powers and authority. The people hold the greatest power in America, followed by the states. The Federal Government was to be the least powerful entity in America. The only way states lose their power is to lose the US Constitution is its entirety. In that case, the union of states itself no longer exists.

 

·         The Ninth Amendment has no bearing.

 

The Ninth Amendment is key – “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

 

Once again, it is clear that the Federal Government has very limited powers, the people retaining all others. The States are then positioned to protect their people from Federal tyranny via enforcement of the Tenth Amendment.

 

·         State Lawmakers can’t solve the problem.

 

At this late date, with all three branches of the Federal Government operating above and beyond constitutional authority and at odds with the vast majority of American citizens, only State lawmakers can turn the tide.

 

“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution;” - Article VI

 

This means that State lawmakers have the power and the obligation under oath of office, to act in protection and preservation of the US Constitution, including their Tenth Amendment rights to a Balance of Power.

 

Nobody in the Federal Government will ever put themselves in check or balance. If State lawmakers don’t do it, it will be left to the American people to do it by whatever means necessary.

 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

 

·         What’s the precedent on the matter?

 

First, part of the challenge in enforcing the US Constitution is the fact that law schools have not taught constitutional law since 1946. Instead, they have been teaching only legal precedent and procedure.

 

However, precedent setting does not create law, let alone alter the Constitution. In this case, legal precedent has no bearing. The Constitution means what it says, no matter how a judge might have ruled on a single related or unrelated case in the past. The Constitution means whatever the states and the people say it means.

 

On this subject, the only precedent that matters is the precedent set in 1776, the last time someone tried to run roughshod over the colonies. The States are party to a union only so long as the conditions of that union remain in full force and effect.

 

If there is no more Constitution, then there is no more union.

 

·         Every elected official, state and federal, and every lawyer or officer of the court takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

 

Correct! Every lawyer’s oath begins with – “I do solemnly swear (or affirm): I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of ___________;”

 

Every legislator, state and federal, takes an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution and every judge takes an oath to uphold the US Constitution.

 

Every lawmaker, officer of the court or law enforcement who does not uphold, protect and defend the US Constitution is in direct violation of their oaths of office.

[Steven G. Elliott]

I hope that it is not to late.
