We are talking about standing firm against unwarranted, unconstitutional and illegal acts.


Does Nullification Lead to Anarchy?

Does Nullification Lead to Anarchy?

The standard charge is that nullification will lead to a destruction of the American system. But that’s not true. Read why.


The Constitution and Liberty

The Constitution and Liberty

Unless we turn things around, we can no longer claim to be the Constitutional Republic that our founders gave to us and that generations of proud Americans fought to protect.


Our Goal is Federalism, not “States’ Rights”

Freedom is not outdated, federal government is an agreement among the people of different sovereign states, the 10th Amendment has never been repealed, and virtue is still necessary for securing our posterity’s future rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.


A Rudderless Ship Of State

A Rudderless Ship Of State

Sunday-by-Sunday, pastors prostitute themselves to wealthy contributors, community leaders, or politicians. Day-by-day, unscrupulous bankers and businessmen give the shaft to honest, hardworking Americans. And almost hour-by-hour, politicians sell their souls to the highest bidder–even if that bidder represents values and principles that would destroy freedom and liberty in our land.


What Is The U.S. Constitution?

Keep it Local!

Keep it Local!

Does it not seem wrong that the mere few hundred politicians in the Federal Government have the power to control 300 million people?


They Can’t Push Us Around Forever

They Can't Push Us Around Forever

The role of our American government has been blurred, bent, and breached. The rights endowed to us by our creator must be restored.


Stealth Expansion of Government Power

We’re experiencing a fundamental shift in national priorities – in the form of a rapid and pervasive expansion of government power over the private sector of the economy.


Towards a Smaller and More Effective Government

In order to qualify for federal dollars, states frequently have to pass laws that expand their reach and authority. And they often need to continue to pay for new programs after federal funding is phased out. Short run money that appeared “free” often ends up becoming a long run obligation to state taxpayers in the end.


Line in the Stand: The State Sovereignty Movement

Line in the Stand: The State Sovereignty Movement

An observer of history and these current events cannot help but draw strikingly similar comparisons to America’s political struggles during the early to mid-1800s, where there was a serious threat to our original form of constitutional government by the Centralists of that day.


Jeffersonian or Hamiltonian?

Jeffersonian or Hamiltonian?

The battle between Jefferson and Hamilton is of very great significance, and precisely because it represented a clash between two fundamentally contrasting systems of political principle.


A Great Moment in our History

A Great Moment in our History

In his speech at the Ohio Sovereignty Rally, Andrew Napolitano says, “In the long history of the world, very few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its maximum hour of danger. This is that moment and you are that generation! Now is the time to defend our freedoms.”

Crossing the Chasm to Freedom

Crossing the Chasm to Freedom

At this time in history, freedom is once again a revolutionary product. And if we are going to take on our massive federal government and replace the socialism it is offering with true individual freedom, then we had better have a strategic plan that is designed to leverage our strengths to the maximum.


The American Revolution Revisted

The Sovereigns of each State have never ceded to the Federal government any power not granted to it by the US Constitution

Should Congress Impose Health Care on Us?

Should Congress Impose Health Care on Us?

Time to Repeal the Welfare State

Writes Ron Paul: “The men who led the American Revolution and drafted the Constitution understood that people flourish best under conditions of freedom”


Real ID: A Real Warning on the Danger of Government

The REAL ID Act may be on the verge of receiving its final coffin nails. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is pushing a replacement bill that poses many of the same threats as REAL ID. The history of REAL ID should inspire friends of freedom to once again vigorously oppose any and every federal grab for their personal information.


Big Government and the Fourth of July

As we prepare to celebrate the 233rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence we should recall why the American colonists made their decision to break away from the British Empire. The Declaration, in the enumerated grievances against the British Crown, makes it crystal clear that the cause was Big Government.

Uncelebrating the Fourth

Unfortunately, July 4th has become a day of deceit. The America that’s celebrated no longer truly exists.
