Michael,

You have it right concerning the strategy, we just need to implement the following suggested tactics;

1. Inform the state citizens about the nullification process.

2. Encourage them to put the pressure on the Governor and Legislators to enact meaningful nullification laws.

3. Encourage them to replace the politicians who will not comply with their wishes.

4. Inform them that the biggest hurdle to overcome is the noose of federal funding, and that they have to show the politicians how to deal with it.

5. Have them follow the nullification legislative process from introduction, to committee, to final vote, and keep the pressure on.

These are just a few general strategies, and know it will require a lot of planning and effort.

From Wisconsin and am enjoying this discussion. I am going to get on the 10/4 pledge and see what I can do here in this “blue” state to get the job done. Maybe awaken some who voted for Reagan and Bushes might do it. Hope so. Happy I ran into this site. Wonderful information.

I have communicated with my Washington State Legislators, calling their attention to the bill that passed both houses of the Arizona State Legislature that would Nullify Obamacare, urging them to copy it and introduce the same legislation here. I have an email distribution list of thousands of people nationwide and have urged them to do the same thing. We proved in 2005 that we CAN block Federal legislation, even when the President signs it into law when 20 States passed bills refusing to implement the REAL ID ACT. It went NOWHERE. Similarly, we HAVE THE TOOLS WE NEED to block "OBAMACARE" from going anywhere too! In FACT, we HAVE TO BLOCK IT. FAILURE is NOT an option! If we fail, Obamacare will trigger a Tsunami of illegal aliens that will break our BACKS economically. Moreover, huge numbers of MDs will QUIT because they honor their Hippocratic oaths and will refuse this Fedstapo red tape and dictatorial heavy handedness. That will create even BIGGER Dr.shortages and long lines than the flood of illegals into the system will. This poses a threat to our LIVES and we MUST stop it! NO MORE HAND WRINGING- WE KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
