Please look up operation “Cable Splicer”. State and local government no longer has any power. They are marked for removal within six weeks of the declaration of martial law (and the removal is mortally fatal).

I have great reservations about your ability to pursuade the people to pursuade their State Legislators into taking back the definite responsibilities which have been usurped from them and which they have gladly given up despite what the Constitution says and what the Tenth Amendment delegated. Even now in this state of crisis.

The Liberty Amendment has been trying to convince the Federal Government to withdraw its tentacles from every facet of our lives since World War II without success until realizing that giving up power is not a common trait of man.

The movement then began to try to convince the State Legislators to demand a return of their powers and responsibilities. From 1959 to 1982 we had only nine State who realized the advantage of having the ratified Liberty Amendment, which restored the Constitution to its full power and effectiveness, with its limited and specific powers to the Federal Geovernment.

While Mr Ron Paul continued to try to rouse the Congress into even a recognition of the Liberty Amendment, we were busy since 2003 on the internet with (www.libertyamendment.org) trying to convince a multitude of the people to pursuade their State Legislators by E-mail, Snail mail, and otherwise, that they should request that the Liberty Amendment be submitted to the States for ratification before it was too late. We have had very limited success from 158,000 hits although the majority are during the last six months

Now the Tenth Amendment resolution by the States is about the same as the Liberty Amendment except it does not fix those unconstitutional powers and activities (85% of what they do) that are already being attempted by the Federal Government. What you need is the Tenth Amendment Resolution and a Resolution requesting the ratification of the Liberty Amendment by the States. This would be a fix, and the results would be fantastic.
Sincerely,

One of the most important elements of education to help insure and perpetuate our God-given freedoms is indepth study of World and American history! ONLY through learning of the errors of the past can we hope to not repeat them in the future! All one has to do is tune in to the Jay Leno show and watch one of his “Jay-walking” segments to see how lacking many of our youth AND their parents are in this area! Most of these people are intelligent and capable of knowledge BUT they are astute only in the areas of their interests! This is accentuated on by the major media and public educational system through the dilution and exclusion of critical information that would benefit society as a whole. Our fathers and forefathers who fought in wars past learned the hard way that freedom is not free! They passed this information on to their children but as time and peace comingled over several generations the evils of complacency, apathy and ignorance took a grip on posterity! With freedoms guards sound asleep, with the exception of the few that stayed alert, the MAJORITY of the American people were easily fooled by hollow words such as “change” without realizing it would be to their detriment ! It is a frailty of human nature that the majority must learn the HARD way while the minority must suffer with them! ONLY knowledge in history can break this ever-repeating, vicious cycle!

Thanks Mr. Gotfried..well said..and some good commentary from the responders. Now how do we go about convincing the general public that it’s time to take back our rights. I’ve spoken to several folks about this and no-one seems to know which way to turn or what to do. I wrote my Congressman about this and so far haven’t got an answer from him. Do we need a million man march on Washington?…and why don’t our local politicians want to regain our soveriegnty? Is it because they keep getting chummed like fish from Washington? I’ve always thought we should shut down Washington D.C. as a central point of Government and make all our Politicians return to their home state where they can do the most good. I think the people need more local leaders to show them the way to get this started.

Fred007, What you see now happening to our country is likened to a man that buys a brand new home then doesn’t take care of it! He is enjoying life and having fun while termites get into his rafters.(Like the Marxist’s got into our governments infrastructure and our educational and banking systems)! As long as he can’t SEE the damage being done he continues to be complacent, apathetic and ignorant of the FACT that real damage IS taking place! Only until the rafters start giving way and the ceiling starts falling in does he take notice and become alarmed, alas much too late to save his house! As the damage to our country has reached a stage of near ravagement, the RED termites are coming boldly into the light for all those with intelligence to see! The PROBLEM is that the MAJORITY of Americans STILL can’t see them OR relate them to the damage they have created! As with the man and his ruined house, he would be best directed to demolish his home and rebuild from the ground up, but this time to be alert for termites entering! As with our Federal Government, we the people need to rebuild it from the ground up and this can only be done by the sovereign states whom first created it! If secession is neccessary than so be it!!!

OK. I get it. The issues to be addressed are: (1) Why do so few get it? (2) What must be done to raise public awareness of the importance of States’ Rights?

My public school Civics classes, 68 years ago, failed to impress me with the importance of limited constitutional government. Bear in mind that my school was in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Progressive FDR was serving his third term, before the end of WW II. Socialists had just begun writing the grade school text-books.

I have been doing a lot of growing up for the last ten years, thanks to people like Mr. Gottfried, Gary Kah (Hope for the World), Tom DeWeese (American Policy Center), Patrick Wood (GeoStrategicTrends), Phyllis Schlafly, Joan Veon, Martin Weiss (Money and Markets), Carl Teichrib (forcingchange.org). Now, how can I help get my country back on track? It appears we are about to lose most of what we had.

Mr. Gottfried you said a mouthfull when verbaly pointing your finger at a “shamefully passive and indifferent public”! THIS is where our country’s problem lies in that the MAJORITY of people who DO vote don’t really know anything about the people they put into office other than what our “controlled” major media tells them! Those that take the time to explore and find truth and cast an educated vote are far outnumbered. The people in this country have been purposly dumbed-down, ever so gradually, through Marxist infiltration of our educational system, Hollywood and Television productions, to the point of placing SEX, BOOZE & SPORTS as their highest priorities! I am at the point of exasperation in trying to get people to even sign a simple petition here in Florida directed at our General Assembly for Affirmation of States Rights! It seems to me that we have an awful lot of people who are “frightened & intimidated” by the Federal Government to the point of not standing up for their God-given and Constitutional rights! Karl Marx knew that as long as the minds of the MAJORITY could be captured, his goal would gradually be met! History ignored is history repeated!

When I hear people say the constitution is a “living document” I cringe. It is as relevent today as it was 230 years ago. It is not open for interpretation by anyone, including supreme court justices.
