The States Can Stop Obama
- Text size
Sheriff Richard Mack
Infowars
October 14, 2009
By now we have all heard the cliches and seen the posters from the “Tea Parties” espousing freedom, less government, and perhaps most of all, how the federal government had better back off trying to shove their national healthcare down our otherwise healthy throats. The truth of the matter is all the slogans of “Don’t Tread On Me” or “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” or “We’re Mad As Hell And We’re Not Taking It Anymore,” don’t mean a thing when compared to reality; the real and actual answer to all the protests, marches, and outrage. The answer is in our own backyards! The States can stop every bit of it! That’s right, the individual States can stop “Obamacare” and all other forms of out-of-control federal government mandates and “big brother” tactics. If Arizona, Hawaii, New Hamshire, Texas, etc. want nothing to do with National Healthcare as proposed by Barack Obama or Congress, then all they have to do is say “No!”

For you skeptics who think the States could no more do this than fly to the moon, let’s look at the law. First, the U.S. Constitution is the ultimate and supreme law of the land. More specifically, the Bill of Rights was established, because some of our Founding Fathers, feared that the Constitution did not go far enough in restricting or limiting the central government. Hamilton was one of a select few who wanted a bigger and powerful federal government. However, several key states and powerful delegates such as Patrick Henry, said they would not support the formation of a new government if the Constitution did not contain a Bill of Rights, a supreme law to establish basic and fundamental human rights that could never, for all future American generations, be violated, altered or encroached upon by government. So the Framers of our Constitution came up with ten; ten God-given freedoms that would forever be held inviolable by our own governments.
The last of these basic foundational principles was the one to protect the power, sovereignty, and the autonomy of the States; the Tenth Amendment. This amendment and law underscores the entire purpose of the Constitution to limit government and forbids the federal government from becoming more powerful than the “creator.” Let’s be very clear here; the States in this case were the creator. They formed the federal government, not the other way around. Does anyone believe rationally that the States intended to form a new central government to control and command the States at will? Nothing could be further from the truth. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution details what duties the federal government will be responsible for under our new system of “balanced power.” Anything not mentioned in Article 1, Sec. 8, is “reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” (Tenth Amendment) Hence, the federal government was not allowed creativity or carte blanche to expand or assume power wherever and whenever they felt like it. The feds had only discrete and enumerated and very limited powers. Omnipotency was the last thing the Founding Fathers intended to award the newly formed federal government. They had just fought the Revolutionary War to stop such from Britain and their main concern was to prevent a recurrence here in America.
In perhaps the most recent and powerful Tenth Amendment decision in modern history, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Mack/Printz v U.S. that “States are not subject to federal direction.” But today’s federal Tories argue that the “supremecy clause” of the U.S. Constitution says that the federal government is supreme and thus, trumps the States in all matters. Wrong! The supremacy clause is dealt with in Mack/Printz, in which the Supreme Court stated once and for all that the only thing “supreme” is the constitution itself. Our constitutional system of checks and balances certainly did not make the federal government king over the states, counties, and cities. Justice Scalia opined for the majority in Mack/Printz, that “Our citizens would have two political capacities, one state and one federal, each protected from incursion by the other.” So yes, it is the duty of the State to stop the Obamacare “incursion.” To emphasize this principle Scalia quotes James Madison, “The local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the Supremacy, no more subject within their respective spheres, to the general authority than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The point to remember here is; where do we define the “sphere” of the federal government? That’s right; in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution and anything not found within this section belongs to the States or to the People. So where does health care belong? The last place it belongs is with the President or Congress. It is NOT their responsiblity and the States need to make sure that Obama does not overstep his authority.
Just in case there is any doubt as to what the Supreme Court meant, let’s take one more look at Mack/Printz. “This separation of the two spheres is one of the Constitution’s structural protections of liberty. Hence, a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other…” What? The Constitution, the supreme law of the land, has as a “structural protection of liberty” that States will keep the federal government in check? No wonder it was called a system of “checks and balances.” The States (and Counties) are to maintain the balance of power by keeping the feds within their proper sphere.
So do the States have to take the bullying of the federal government? Not hardly! The States do not have to take or support or pay for Obamacare or anything else from Washington DC. The States are not subject to federal direction. They are sovereign and “The Constitution protects us from our own best intentions.” (Mack/Printz) Which means the States can tell national healthcare proposals or laws to take a flying leap off the Washington monument. We are not subject to federal direction!
 |
In the final order pursuant to the Mack/Printz ruling Scalia warned, “The federal government may neither, issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. Such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.” It is rather obvious that nationalized healthcare definitely qualifies as a “federal regulatory program.”
Thus, the marching on Washington and pleas and protests to our DC politicians are misdirected. Such actions are “pie in the sky” dreaming that somehow expects the tyrants who created the tyranny, will miraculously put a stop to it. Throughout the history of the world such has never been the case. Tyrants have never stopped their own corrupt ways. However, in our system of “dual sovereignty,” the States can do it. If we are to take back America and keep this process peaceful, then state and local officials will have to step up to the plate. Doing so is what States’ Rights and State Sovereignty are all about.

The “federal reserve” has made it work on a grand scale! They have the entire country trading monopoly money! It is OUR responsibility to get off it. Barter worked GREAT for the early years of settlement all the way up to 1913 when the system was hijacked. Yes we had “money” before then, but it was gold and silver and the gubment was still true to the Constitution!
Something else that has changed since then, that should be revived is, criminal bastards like the ones who hijacked the system used to be hung, or worse! gitner, bershanke, obama bin lyin, even butch and the heart attack kid, ALL should be hung from the highest tree, drawn and quartered, burnt at the stake and the ashes pissed on!
BUT, peace loving pussy ass Americans are way too busy to bother with such unimportant stuff like saving THEIR country!

The truth is that our protest must target the State capitals. The Federal government hasn’t listened to or helped the people in a very long time.

Bingo, thats what needs to happen for the people to regain control. We need to do mass protests at every state capitol, im talking tens of thousands of people, but as i have said before, in todays world that is nearly impossible. People are afraid to have strikes and walkouts because they think they will get fired. Not only that but everyone being so consumed with jobs and daily life they cant even see whats coming. As the saying goes”forewarned is forearmed”, but most people dont even care. They live day in and day out oblivious to the goings on in their states and nation. If someone were to ask me what i see when i see other “people” i see machines of flesh and bone, each performing the specific task they were programmed to do (think matrix) yet never having the presence of mind to stop and look up. Those that can and do look up have agents sent after them while being branded “terrorists”. Look on youtube about Obama’s red pill/blue pill statement, does it look familiar?

Didn’t the Ft Sumpter military fire on US(Union) ships that were blockading South Carolina?
Who fired first shot isn’t really relevant when we/us/they are ALWAYS doing something Military/Political/Financial to the “Others”. Japan wasn’t allowed to buy oil, we wanted it all even back then. Germany was providing a gravy train for GM and the “Rock a fellas”. We have armed the other side from the begining.
I do have an attitude about Lincoln, I recall a mass execution of some Chippewa indians in Wisconsin, their crime was some kind of rebellion/murders because the Government was starving them to death. Very few of the hung were involved in killings, but the indians had to be punished. Ben Franklin was the man. The rest “politicians”

The States have the legal capacity to withdraw all powers delegated to the federal companct known as the United States, a.k.a. secede. Once seceded, a State resumes its place among the nations of the world, and then it can issue currency. But as long as a State is part of that federal compact, then it has agreed to vest this power in Congress only. (Not a private bank like the Federal Reserve).

Did I understand you correctly, that you are NOT from the USA? If you don’t mind my asking: where from?
If you are NOT from the USA, you will have a bit tougher row to hoe: think about your own “American Revolution”. While I would prefer a “peaceful Revolution” (even in my own USA, in order to RETURN to the U.S. Constitution!), I am enough of a realist to understand that it is MOST unlikely: tyrants and would-be tyrants will NOT give up their power without a fight! One either fights, or one sits down, shuts up, surrenders, and becomes a slave, learning to “enjoy” their servitude as best they can…
If you decide to fight, the U.S. Constitution is an EXTREMELY good place to start. It’s not “perfect”, but it’s FAR closer to perfection than any governmental system I have yet discovered…

States, cities, towns etc. They can all create their own currency, it’s just a matter of who will honor that currency. Several months ago I read a story about some towns creating their own currency to help keep spending local. The strength of having a national currency is the ease of being able to trade between states, the weakness is that we now have idiots in power who have turned our national currency into toilet paper. Just think about how bad it could get when the NWO has their one world currency.

It’s not illegal to use whatever you want as currency as long as both parties (buyer+seller) agree on it. so technically it is legal, actually I heard that quite a few small towns across the country have developed their own form of currency, and most of them are doing quite well economically.
I have seen ads for the book Social Viability and I think it shows you how to do just that, I’m still pretty interested in checking it out.

States used to issue currency but I’m not sure when that was stopped — maybe after the War Between the States? I remember seeing notes from all states (at that time) – I actually bought a pack of copies from a shop in Gettysburg, PA. So, at one point, the states did issue their own money.

Why are you not able to read the Constitution for The United States of America for the answer to your question and before you do google search and video search “the act of 1871″ just so you understand there are two constitutions. Ours is the Constitution for the United states of America and theirs is THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA which is a Corporation owned by off shore banks that also own The District of Columbia. The upper case letters and the word of is how they tricked us. They shoved our Constitution for America in to a dusty corner and replaced it with theirs. Theirs dose not offer us any rights or freedom but in affect turns us all in to their slaves
But since the forty first Congress did not consult with the American people first before they committed this act of treason. The contract is void if way just stand up and say it and then tell them to get out of our Country.

You can get a copy of it just about anywhere. Arguments like this are the same they use when trying to argue that the 2nd amendment didn’t apply to individuals because of a comma here or there. Total bulls---. You can read the framers intent in the Federalist papers. Upper/lower case and punctuation doesn’t change the meaning.

Go to a list of every county sheriff in your state and write to them, call them, send them to Sheriff Mack’s website. For those of you who can afford it get your county sheriff a copy of his book.

Federal funding – comes from taxes/fees collected at the state level that are SENT to Washington, where the feds take a “cut” to administer it back to the states (redistribute…). The plan is to have each state STOP sending the funds to Washington. Keep the money in the state and stop funding the giant federal bureacracy.
It is a fact that the state you live in – is YOUR JURISDICTION. You are responsible for electing the sheriff you want to provide overwatch on the Constitution. You are also responsible for seeing to it that the people in the state legislature “hold the line” where the Constitution is concerned, the idea being that since they are local, they can be seized and tried for treason when they make a mockery of Constitutional Rule of Law. That is the job of the dreaded and evil terrorist “Militias of the several states”, which, according to our country’s founders are necessary to the security of a free state. “Necessary” is the key word, here.

Very true, anytime a particular state has even threatened something like this the Feds have backed off. I remember something about the National 55mph speed limit not going over too well and some states (can’t remember which) threatened to stop sending or accepting federal dollars. All the sudden they could go 65mph again. No different with any other issue. This is the feds only power.
Texas IdentityCrisis Reply:

That’s where we’re going wrong. The states need to stop taking federal funding. The whole federal taxation is a serious culprit. If we stop giving money to the feds and then stop taking money from the feds, then we can locally create our own economies.

You have it backwards my friend, the states need to QUIT sending the Feds the tax money they collect. Use it here, locally for projects that need done. Then and only then will the Feds realize that they “Don’t” have the power.

This is all besides the point. Schools arent even teaching our kids about the constitution much less the bill of rights. My nephew thats a 16 year old junior in highschool even admits that. I asked him to tell me who Patrick Henry was or Samuel Adams or to name ANY of the founding fathers and he couldnt do it. The feds are dumbing down our future generations and that is a fact. Every other nation in the world admits that the US has the dumbest people in the world.
You cant fight corruption and tyranny if you dont know how, and if you dont have a reason or dont even know that you SHOULD have a reason and a right. Right now as of today we are slaves, and our future generations will be too.

Granted, right now it’s not very many places, but it’s not the first time it has been done. It’s also been done in Traverse City with Bay Bucks to encourage local spending.
In the same, it reminds me of that Simpsons episode when they go to Itchy and Scratchy Land, and buy up tons of Itchy and Scratchy Bucks only to enter the park and have none of the places accept them.

BUT in order for the states to assert their individual respective authority, and to extend a healthy middle finger to Uncle Sugar, the states have to have a functional pair. Unfortunately we are plagued with paid off pansies, sell outs, ambitious self servers, or outright pussies at all levels of state government. Plus most state governments are addicted to those big federal dollars so they’ve been bought and paid for. The only way we’re going to have any sort of state sovereignty is to get rid of these turds and get some people in their who can and want to stand alone and be free.

The NWO did not invent the New Age……It is an astronomical as well as astrological truism, as remote from the NWO’s influence as the Sun at the centre of our Solar System…
The NWO have made MORE changes, dilutions and subtractions to organised religions, than they have to New Age writings, such as the Ageless Wisdom Teachings of Maitreya, or the works of Alice Bailey and Helena Blavatsky, who remained mostly untarnished by the elite controlled establishment, as much as anyone can achieve in public life, be they politicians, priests, media or scientists…!! Most are heavily tainted by the Illuminati, especially the christian churches and their offshoots.
The Roman Empire and then King James gave you your current sanitized bible, with much of it’s wisdom diluted, subtracted, edited and frequently censored out…..
NEW AGE WISDOM IS FRESHER, CLEANER & HOLISTIC, bringing all religions, philosophies and sciences into a sharper focus, through fresh materials direct from the source. A bit like drinking fresh spring water, rather than stagnant water from a back yard stink-hole pond. Regretfully, your scriptures are largely stagnant in their thirst-quenching capacities….
For Churchianity followers, a message: Leave the ages of Pisces and Aries behind you and enter the New Age of Aquarius. In modern computer parlance, do you use a Laptop PC with Windows Vista operating system, or are your PC needs met by an old 1980s chunky Amsrad, using the old floppy disks that were literally just that??

I still don’t see how your response to my statement explains what you mean by Libertarians and Alex Jones as being deliberately malevolent. Further, you suggests that you should have known that ‘they’ are deliberately malevolent, because it is in ‘Atlas Shrugged’. Forgetting the past is not exactly what I would call good advice, considering that is a great deal of the reason why we are all in this predicament. Any student of history could easily see what’s going on, just simply based on what has already happened. One more thing….not everyone is religious. I for one have no religion. No I’m not a heathen, I just don’t believe in magic. Simple. Your original comment was random and accusatory.

Sheriff Mack is one courageous and smart dude…and is also someone that would be a great cabinet member (in some capacity) when the Libertarian Party wins and takes over the White House in 2012! If at all possible, any of us that can afford to do so should be helping Sheriff Mack out financially with his endeavors on this country’s behalf…unfortunately I am not currently in a position to do so, or I certainly would.
Just imagine how different things would be in this country if there were a thousand, two thousand or more Sheriff Mack’s that had the courage to stand-up and speak out against tyranny…in short order, I think the political landscape would look quite different than it does right now.

NO law or mandate that is not signed/agreed on between the feds and the people is constitutitonally binding. Especiailly if they attempt to vote on any Bills that they do not read and just vote because they are to lazy to do their jobs and read what they are sighning. Legally not binding.
Why do you think that if an agreemennt is not willingly signed between two parties is not lgally binding or if there are other agendas not divulged or agreed upon. The whole “agreement is null and void.” Non binding.
Why do you think it says “By the consent of the willing?” They do not have the power to seperate us from the protection of the Constitution unless we SURRENDER it volunterily it to them.

The hardest part of change is admitting that too many agencies within any State Government is the huge amount of federal dollars that come pouring into the states for all types of federal programs. Of course we all know these dollars are given out for political favor and is a corrupt system in itself.
Only when the states conduct a review of what loss of federal dollars means to the local state economy will we understand why certain states are so reluctant to remove themselves from the federal tit of money.
Only the strong economic states have a chance to say NO and really mean it.
Not until we return to real justice and not until the greed and corruption are removed from our way of life will anything change for the better.
Not until the guilty NWO scum are hanging from light poles will we be free to pursue our desire to remain free and a republic founded on our constitution and bill of rights.

When will these “brain dead” State officials realize that they are sucking off the tit of a DEAD COW?!
Look, the value of the dollar is now down somewhere BELOW 4 cents, when compared to the 1913 Gold Dollar, which was the last reasonably STABLE dollar we had, before the founding of the misnamed “Federal Reserve” and their “enforcers”, the Infernal Revenue Service! It’s almost to the point (probably about the 1 cent level, or less…) that a dollar bill is worth so little that it could (and should!…) be used for toilet paper…

All of what you say, Sheriff Mack, is interesting however until the “States” recognize the sovereignty of the individual, in our daily lives and until the “States” remove the laws written to continue and build upon the power of the “State” and its representatives, very little of what you say or other servants of the sovereign people, means anything towards the freedom of ALL citizens. I’m sure you personally enforce “Statutes” “codes” and the like which are a clear violation of the “Sovereign” Man/woman. At this point in time I say you’re hypocritical and the States have NO sovereignty because they deny the same for the citizen – ’state SLAVES’!

Here in Michigan the state corruption is worse than the Feds.Hell most of the counties are so corrupt you can’t get any information on election requirements.Times,dates,etc..It is crazy if you do not have the money it is hard to get your message out to the masses.

Just say NO to Prop 2 & 3 in the November 3rd election in the State of Texas. The State wants to be able to place a tax on the value of your homestead. Property Taxes are usually City, County, and School. Now the State wants a piece of the pie, raising taxes on all property owners in the State of Texas.

Complete Corruption of Government
Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole world’s got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner
We can’t pay the cost

We are not going to stop this train that started when we said our Constitution legalizes the butchering of our own children, illegalizes the mention or adherance to the Bible or Jesus Christ in our schools and courts and legalizes “s--- holey matri-phony” for sick bass turds that find themselves fascinated with plunging a body part into a cess hole. This nation as we knew it is looooong gone!

“So the Framers of our Constitution came up with ten; ten God-given freedoms”
lol, reminds me of a George Carlin bit.
But aside from the bad writing, there’s some good information. Unfortunately, the tenth amendment has been largely a dead letter since the end of the Civil War.

Our state government (PA) doesn’t listen to the people. Ed Rendell is governor. We had a vote a few years ago on a levy to pay for Heinz field. The citizens voted overwhelmingly against it, but the governor said, No, you’re going to pay for it anyway. So much for the voice of the people.

I feel like this website is a waste of time, slightly informative, but full of a bunch, but not all I’m sure dinks who just like to type s--- they’ll never do. Why don’t you people take a stand on the street and show we the people you mean buisness. I would gladly show up and support. But I live in Mt. and see little happening anywhere in form of picketing and protesting. Like I said I read a lot of tough guy speals and where is it, you bad ass mofos. I am sick of the s--- too, so organize and get after it, how long do you think we really have?

The thought of re-booting this country is very interesting. But really, so long as the working work- who will make the calls, protests, and marches? Certainly not the won’t-working. Yes, I said ‘won’t working’, not non-working. Of course, the selling out of the country is pushing us further and further into oblivion. Thanks Congress!!

Sheriff Mack -
I agree, but I wouldn’t right off harassing our non-representatives in D.C. We need to keep the heat on their worthless carcasses. Concomitantly, we need to work with our state representatives and focus on electing rabid states’ rights governors like McBerry and Medina, sheriffs like yourself, and congressmen like Ron Paul at both the federal and state levels. I like the 3 pronged attack at the representative (local and federal), sheriff (county), and governorship (state) levels.

StarinaNovak:
I must admit that (to use seafaring language) I like the cut of your jib! However, I notice a couple of cases where it seems you might be slightly unfamiliar with the U.S. Constitution.
Amendment 2: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
(In this particular case the term “Militia” refers to the Colonial Militia, which consisted of all able-bodied male citizens aged 15 to 45: in more modern terms, we would NOT reject able-bodied females, either, and some of us, who take the Oath we took many years ago, VERY seriously, to “…preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic…”, STILL consider ourselves to be part of the Militia even though we are 60 years old, or more: in short, we are cantankerous old grognards who are STILL armed and quite capable of raising Cain and Able and Isaiah and all the rest of those good folks…)
Amendments 9 and 10, the last two Amendments to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights, are quite closely related, and deal with the carefully enumerated and strictly limited powers granted to the Government by the Constitution:
Amendment 9: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Amendment 10: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
As the late Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, who taught me the Constitution with great care, used to say in discussing the meaning of these two amendments: “…and if there was ANYTHING else we FORGOT, YOU CAN’T DO THAT, EITHER!”

All we need to do is nationalise the banking system. Take over the federal reserve!

But ADL is not Israel, and it is not its people. Get real.
Now, about banks, nationalized banks might be a hazard of its own, because the temptation of taking power through banks might be to great.
With national bank you must have an independent state institution which controlles national bank.

No wonder we are in such a mess. I have read all the comments above and they clearly show that most of those leaving comments have little or no idea of what is in the Constitution!
Article I, Section 8 clearly states, in part, “Congress… shall coin money…”.
Article I, Section 10 clearly states, in part, “No State shall…coin Money”.
No where is the power granted to the Federal or state governments to issue paper bills to circulate as money. In fact, at the Constitutional Convention the power to “emit bills” was contemplated and unamimously rejected for the federal government, and, except for one abstention, the states also. *[The two New York state delegates present during this vote voted opposite from each other so New York's single vote (one vote per state, but multiple delegates were present from each state) was recorded as an abstention]
Article I, Section 10 also states, in part “No State shall… make any Thing but Gold and Silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt…”. So, while the Federal government (Congress) coined Money the states declared the substance of the coin, and were restricted by the Constitution to declaring only gold and silver coin. These provisions amount to a guaranty of economic liberty and confidence that the state and federal governments would not declare a fiat currency and rob the people of their wealth, as has been the case for nearly one hundred years now, since the Federal Reserve Bank came into existence. *[This was the case at the time of the Convention as many state governments issued paper currency of uncertain and varying value, and were often devalued by the governments that issued them. This sorry state of affairs is what led to the Article I, Section 10 prohibition to the states that "No State shall... impair the obligation of contracts..."]
The Constitutional Convention actually came about due to the fact that the people did not have a
monetary system in place that was sound. They couldn’t trust the value of state and federal paper currency or that of private banks and so trade and commerce stagnated, and was basically limited to barter of goods for goods (or services). Being called a “friend of paper money” in that time was very insulting and properly so. It still should and would be if people would only learn their history and their Constitution.

I fail to see how Sheriff Mack has the ability or the right to “stop national healthcare” if it is what our elected representatives legislate and our elected president signs into law. Universal healthcare falls under the ‘general Welfare’ mentioned in the Preamble to the Constitution:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
:and further clarified in what is known as the ‘Taxing and Spending Clause’ of the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1. It is the clause that gives the federal government of the United States its power of taxation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.....are_clause. Component parts of this clause are known as the General Welfare Clause and the Uniformity Clause.
“ The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; ”
