States Can Tell Feds To Shove It

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 health care 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 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. If Arizona, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Texas, etc. want nothing to do with National Health care as proposed by Barack Obama or Congress, then all they have to do is say "No!" 

For you skeptics...let's look at the law. First, the U.S. Constitution is the ultimate and supreme law of the land. More specifically, the Bill of Rights was established, because some of our Founding Fathers, feared that the Constitution did not go far enough in restricting or limiting the central government.

Hamilton was one of a select few who wanted a bigger and powerful federal government. However, several key states and powerful delegates such as Patrick Henry, said they would not support the formation of a new government if the Constitution did not contain a Bill of Rights, a supreme law to establish basic and fundamental human rights that could never, for 
all future American generations, be violated, altered or encroached upon by government. So the Framers of our Constitution came up with ten; ten God-given freedoms that would forever be held inviolable by our own governments.

The last of these basic foundational principles was the one to protect the power, sovereignty, and the autonomy of the States; the Tenth Amendment. This amendment and law underscores the entire purpose of the Constitution to limit government and forbids the federal government from becoming more powerful than the "creator."

Dear Sheriff Mack, I wish you were running for Sheriff of Flagler County, as I would very much like to vote for you. I agree with what you say in principle. However, I believe that your suggestion that the solution is our state governments is simply trading one set of “rulers” for an arguably less offensive set of “rulers”. Even our state government can still have a “we tell you what to do” mentality. For example, the state has enacted new rules this year that require people to provide a birth certificate, or passport to obtain a drivers license. This presumably to stay in compliance with federal guidelines, and is most likely tied receiving federal money. The Declaration of Independence states “mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable”.

While rallies, slogans, are not a solution, they are a symptom that the people are getting fed up. As history shows, this is a sign that you ignore at your own peril. While smaller government, such as state government, may be a step in the right direction, it is still looking to government for a solution. The ultimate solution for a people oppressed by a tyrannical dictatorship is to for that body of people to stand together and take back control of their lives. Then, as now, people organized themselves into Militia units. The people are the ultimate power in our country. Then, as now, if the situation requires, they will protect themselves.
