Los Angeles, CA  (PRWEB) April 19, 2010 Now that Health Care reform has been signed into law, the question people ask most is ‘What do we do about it?’’ said Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center.  “The status quo response includes lobbying congress, marching on D.C. “voting the bums out,” suing in federal court, and more.  But the last 100 years have proven that none of these really work, and government continues to grow year in and year out.”

“We recommend a different path, one advised by prominent founders such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison – nullification,” said Boldin.  Nullification, according to the Center, is the rightful remedy to an unconstitutional act, as it considers the recently-signed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to be. When a state nullifies a federal law, it is proclaiming that the law in question is void and inoperative, or non-effective, within the boundaries of that state; or, in other words, not a law as far as the state is concerned.

In partnership with WeRefuse.com, the Tenth Amendment Center has announced the release of their model legislation for such state-level action, the Federal Health Care Nullification Act.  The Act would codify in state law that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act “is not authorized by the Constitution of the United States…is hereby declared to be invalid…shall not be recognized…is specifically rejected…and shall be considered null and void and of no effect” within the boundaries of any state enacting it. It also mandates that it “shall be the duty” of the State’s legislature “to adopt and enact any and all measures as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement.”

The two groups have set an initial goal of 100,000 petition signers to support the state nullification legislation, and consider this the ultimate expression of the sovereignty of “We the People.” “Nullification will allow Americans to stop the overreaching federal government now, not years from now,” said Trevor Lyman of WeRefuse.com who popularized campaign “money bombs” in support of Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential run. “We can make our biggest waves in local politics.  Our state governments understand the impact of a vocal and irate minority, and they simply need to hear from us.  WeRefuse.com and The Tenth Amendment Center’s Federal Health Care Nullification Act give our state legislators their marching orders,” he continued.

According to both groups, the new health care reform legislation not only violates conservative principles by greatly enlarging federal power and control, but also is an affront to traditional progressive principles because it requires millions of people to give their money to an industry that many liberals revile, and interferes with the ability of states and local communities to enact their own health care programs as they see fit.

“It’s time to remind the federal government that We the People are in charge and not the other way around,” said Boldin. “Following the Constitution every issue, every time, without exceptions or excuses requires us to resist federal overreach and keeping our health care decisions where the Founders assured us that they’d be and where they belong…close to home.”

Randy Brogdon is the author of the 10th Amendment Resolution designed to protect states rights and prevent the federal government from overexerting its legislative power. Randy’s efforts on the 10th Amendment Initiative have brought him national attention from several media outlets across the country.  Today over 20 states have passed a version of Randy’s 10th Amendment resolution and many more are to follow.

If elected Governor of Oklahoma, Randy Brogdon has vowed to uphold the tenth amendment and refuse all federal government powers not authorized by the U.S. Constitution.  For this reason I believe Randy Brogdon’s bid for Governor is one of the most important races of the 2010 election cycle.

As a State Senator of Oklahoma Randy’s battle against the Federal Government has been underway for nearly a decade.  When Randy first took office he lead the charge against the Real ID Act, lowered state taxes and fought the NASCO super corridor– protecting millions of acres of land from being taken from private citizens.

Many of us (myself included) have been working on taking back our government by focusing on winning seats in Congress as a means of trying to stop the federal government’s continuous power grab.  This is desperately needed but keep in mind taking back our congress means battling it out in hundreds of elections every election cycle– whereas stopping the federal government by way of electing Governors who will exercise the 10th Amendment requires only fifty.

On September 18th, 2009 we’re holding a money bomb for Randy Brogdon’s bid for Governor of Oklahoma.  Randy’s victory in 2010 will start a freedom landslide across this nation that will stop the federal government in it’s tracks.

Please visit http://www.FightForStatesRights.com and pledge to participate and support Randy Brogdon in this fund raising event.

Help Randy set the precedent of 10th Amendment protected states rights and don’t miss your chance to say, “NO YOU WON’T!” to the federal government on September 18th, 2009.

Trevor Lyman

Wednesday, July 2, 2008

We made history twice during the presidential campaign and introduced a new concept in political fundraising – the money bomb. Tens of thousands of individuals just like you rallied around one day to donate.

Instrumental in inventing and developing the money bombs was Trevor Lyman. He was the organizer behind the two big dates, Nov. 5 and Dec. 16. Believe it or not, I never met Trevor until after the money bombs, so it goes to show the power of our message and the grassroots. This was your campaign.

Now, Trevor has started his own project to break the media establishment. Appropriately titled Break the Matrix , Trevor’s media organization is focused on bringing our message to the airwaves.

Break the Matrix seeks to produce unique content for radio, television, and new media. Currently, they are working hard to obtain access to television stations across the country. I look forward to their success. Our message is too important not to spread.

To join Break the Matrix, please visit their website at http://www.breakthematrix.com.

In liberty,

Ron Paul

We wanted to let you know about some exciting changes we’re making that will help us do a better job keeping you informed about grassroots projects and initiatives in the freedom movement. Our primary objective is to make the experience much easier and faster than ever before, while providing you with better information in a less intrusive manner.

The Situation..

Since the November 5th money bomb event we’ve been using Feedburner to send out emails. While we like their system, it’s continued use with the ongoing stream of new projects in the grassroots community has created a number of issues.

Increasing Duplicate Emails

To help spread the word about other money bombs and grassroots projects, we’ve been asked repeatedly to send an email to each feedburner list from each event. We have to do this because we are unable to consolidate the Feedburner lists into one (a Feedburner limitation). We never know how many emails are on one list and not on any others. In short, if we don’t send out to each feedburner list each time we want to make contact with the community, we run the risk of keeping many out of the loop. On the other hand, this has meant many people get duplicates of the same message each time we mail out to the community. And although you always have the option to unsubscribe at the bottom of each email, many people are afraid they will miss out on an announcement if they do so. It has become obvious that the current approach cannot continue. Luckily, we think we have come up with a solution…

Introducing “Project Central” -

We’ve created a new feature at www.BreakTheMatrix.com that will allow you to create an account and manage all of your grassroots projects and pledges from one central location! No need to sign up for another mailing list, never another unwanted duplicate email, never more than one email a week (and preferably only one every two weeks), and the ability to opt out of everything at any time. We’re offering one central location for grassroots projects to convene and gain exposure to a larger audience. As a community, we now have a much more effective and convenient way to stay informed.

Check out Project Central here: http://www.breakthematrix.com/projectcentral

Project Central is live! Please sign up today, and take advantage of the benefits offered by our new and improved system.

The end of Feedburner..

It’s been a great ride, but it’s time to say goodbye to the Feedburner technology. We’ll continue to send notifications to our Feedburner lists as long as there are subscribers, but we hope those of you still interested in fighting for freedom will join us over at Project Central and unsubscribe from our Feedburner lists using the
unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email.

And remember, we’re all about continuing to build a strong, vibrant community of freedom lovers over at BreakTheMatrix. The bigger we get, the more impact our projects will have – Hope to see you there!

Thank you,

The BreakTheMatrix Team
