		<description><![CDATA[Brian, as a student of WW2 history I appreciate the Normandy analogy, but one must keep in mind that the invasion of France was based on a very comprehensive yet specific plan of action, not just theory.

I have become convinced, that with the blitzkrieg of radical Federal laws and mandates descending on the states, it is ineffective to fight them off one nullification at a time. We in the 10th Amendment movement must actually draft for our Legislators, a comprehensive bill that establishes state independence as per the 10th Amendment. This bill must appeal to the citizens as well as the Legislators with elements such as one flat state tax in lieu of Federal taxes, state property tax on Federal lands, complete state control over the education system, and National Guard etc. etc.

It will take a cooperative effort by all of us with various expertise, working together to put such a bill together, and of course it would need to be tailored for each individual state. All the radical leftist bills being introduced in congress are actual being written by individual radical groups and then presented to congressional staff for finalization. We need to do the same, and also keep up the teaparty type protests to put pressure on the state Legislators and Governors to accept our bill.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regarding the hopefully temporary loss of state sovereignty, the problem is the following, IMO. US citizens have not been teaching the Constitution and its history to their children for many generations. Consequently, voters have been electing lawmakers to the state legislatures and the federal senate who are as clueless about state sovereignty as the voters are. The following link is one perspective as to how state sovereignty-impaired citizens have shot themselves in the foot with big, corrupt federal government.

		<description><![CDATA[Another nice article Mr. Roberts.

This isnâ€™t a left/right issue or conservative/liberal issue. I see it as the far right and far left vs the power mongers. I can assure you that both parties have those that are interested in keeping the â€œconservative enemiesâ€ at bay while they other side wants to see the â€œliberal enemiesâ€ be defeated.

Donâ€™t believe me? Look in the 90â€™s when the liberal states also passed non-meaningful â€œfederal government get out of our state businessâ€ legislation in their respective state governments. (Google it)

Sound similar to what is happening now with the conservative states? What needs to happen is when the conservative shift happens again, they need to send the olive branch out to the liberals and tell them weâ€™ll stay out of your business as long as we all agree the states will now hold the power. This is about de-centralizing. Liberals/conservatives who want to be left alone have mutual goals and should be friends. This will make us better neighbors and friends.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree, we need to convene theses people to get the horses in order before the carriage.

We need to build a preverbal army and support base before we can effectively wage what will inevitably be a long term conflict, to regain and preserve our liberty.

Tell them the first step in this process starts from the ground up, Local, state and then finally federal. To purge this evil from government we must engaged in a kind of Island hoping campaign. Starting with the Governments we can most directly control and moving up.

The States however have to enter the field in a very public way. The people need to know that they are capable of and obligated to defend their rights.

We donâ€™t need a majority here, just a tireless minority, one that is significant enough for the rest of the country to worry about what we might do to them. Such a worry will never be serous unless its got the might of a supporting State government backing it up. The people in power in Washington are leftist, and they fear and hate war, and the implement of war most. If we show them our teeth of the State, we will cause many of them to back down in fear breaking their political backs.

This wont necessarily work with conservatives, but the republican party is crippled with out our support, we must be dam sure the republican party knows that, then as long as they remain starch appointees of the democrats, centralist republicans wont be inclined to help the centralist democrats, forming a viable political base with which to stand up to the States.

This is how I would propose we wage this conflict with out achieving or maintaining a early majority.
We need to play our enemyâ€™s against each other so that we may cripple them into being too weak to apposes us.

We cant uses a lot of federal political support, one thing we should remember is anyone we send to Washington will almost certainly be corrupted by the same power. We cant place our trust in them, we have to work from the ground up based upon common general sentiments and constitutional ideals. (That means we donâ€™t need any 1 leader, but the States do need to learn how to coordinate their defensive and offensive action for maximum effect. That means we want lots of states nullifying the same federal law at the same time, so the federal government is in a real pickle to stop them. A rebellion of just half their base would prove too politically troublesome for them to put down, thatâ€™s why we NEED the states to coordinate there activityâ€™s, and most of all willing to ignore the U.S. Supreme court as illegitimate.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like the general direction youâ€™re headed but I need more specifics before I can get super excited. Promoting the tenth amendment is a little too vague. What exactly would you do if you â€œliberated France?â€ Would you immediately invoke the tenth amendment and repeal everything that violates it or would there be a priority list?

Also, excuse my ignorance here but has anyone ever sued the government for infringing on the tenth amendment?]]></description>
