On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy’s order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in U.S. notes into circulation.
I am persuaded by much research that the international bankers that own the fed and other big world banks have essentially become a secretive oligarchy of puppet masters pulling the strings of the Washingtonian puppets. Most all in Washington politics who go up the ladder are members of the CFR a globalist philosophy group started by the Rockefellers (known fed banker stockholders)

Kennedy knew that shedding the fed currency was a key to freedom.

The fed fiat currency is unconstitutional and therefore can be refused entry by the states. The resisting states can band together and introduce a precious metal backed currency as is constitutionally required and logical for obvious reasons.
We have no need of a global economy as many have been brainwashed by redundancy into believing. The land we posses has plenty of needed resources for all it’s inhabitants and then some(if the feds didn’t grab it by legal fanaglery) .
The national debt was acquired by unconstitutional means and therefore payment demands of it can be declared as null and void.

Wheres the gold or whatever coming from? Ask the owners of the fed where it’s at,they stole what we had mostly when they had a lackey in F.D.R. who made private gold ownership illegal and now well regulated.

It’s logical that the more local the prevailing governmental authority the more the representatives would be held liable by their constituents.
Who wants to be walking home and end up tar and feathered?

Whatever Washington cannot accomplish indirectly, through mandates and the states, it will do directly. It will stop handing dollars to states to spend on its “Project X,” and it will create a new federal agency in charge of receiving the tax dollars and accomplishing the project.

Mandates are very easily avoidable without even a blink of the eye, as far as Washington is concerned.

It’s going to take a lot of effort to convince people that the federal government is the greatest problem we face today. But each step towards freedom, whether it’s a non-binding resolution like many that have been introduced, or states refusing laws (nullification) like real id – is another step towards limited government that I cheer…

It definitely will be interesting to see, like Jeff mentioned, what items Jason and others in state governments will list as “problems that need to be eliminated”

National insolvency forces a disbanding of the federal government across many sectors, and possibly, a disbanding of the Union.

If we cannot starve the federal government, it will surely fail. Do we want it to happen calamitously, and possibly violently? Or do we want to wean the federal government gracefully?

In either case, so long as the federal government has the power to unlimited taxation, it has the power to destroy.

If it could tax us 100% it would. The only reason it does not is because it would cause its own demise via a rebellion.

So, how do we force the federal government to wean itself off of our dollars? I am not sure states’ rights movements adequately focus on this.

Ending federal mandates does not address the problem. Nor does nullification address the problem, unless, of course, nullification includes the IRS, which it does not.

So, the most brilliant ideas will come by way of a civil platform among the states that takes hold in the populous AND weans the federal government of our tax dollars.

I honestly do not know how that will be done. But as long as the federal government has unchecked powers of taxation, it will continue to grow. It just might find less controversial, and more subtle, areas in which to grow, but it will grow.

IMO, mandates are not the biggest deal, and I hope the war will not be thought as “won” by prevailing on that front alone. The real battle lies in over taxation at the federal level in order to fund programs that are not federal in nature. That is the war that needs to be fought.

States’ rights is but a small fly in the ointment if the states aim to reclaim only a portion of their jurisdiction. The states need to reverse the role, just as Jason maintains. Local governments should be bigger and more powerful than the federal government. This all comes down to taxation. As they say, “follow the money.” Stop the money, and the beast will starve.

We do not intend to allow our rights to be violated. And this should be the sentiment in EVERY state!

When I explain this to people, a lot of folks around here (eastern MO) suddenly seem to understand what’s happening. Nancy Pelosi’s porkfest bill, her forcing of “West Coast values” on the Heartland, along with her relentless assault on the Second and Tenth Amendments, could be just the “spark” we need to ignite a new peaceful revolution to return to the principles in our Founding Documents.
