The 10th Amendment codifies in law that We the People of the several states created the federal government to be our agent for certain enumerated, or listed, powers – and nothing more.
The essential question of our day, though, is this – when the federal government violates these limits,what do we do about it? Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson who reminds us that the States are, “the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies.”
So what do we do about it? Jefferson again gave us the answer. In 1798 he wrote that “whensoever” the federal government “assumes undelegated powers,” that a “nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.”
Notice that Jefferson didn’t tell us that a nullification of the act is a “good idea” – or that we should first try federal lawsuits or wait for the next election cycle. He said, in fact, that every time Congress exercises powers not delegated to it – every time – it must be resisted on a state level. Thus, when states pass laws to reject unconstitutional federal “laws” – this is not rebellion – it’s duty.

The Nullification Movement is gaining steam!
* Health Care Nullification: As we gear up for the 2011 State legislative sessions, we need to get behind all actions that resist federal encroachment on a state level. One of the best examples of this is House Bill 297 (HB297) prefiled in Texas last month – The Federal Health Care Nullification Act. Unlike lawsuits, it doesn’t reject just the mandates. It nullifies ALL of Obamacare…
* Reclaiming the Commerce Clause: For Decades, using a tortured definition of the “Interstate Commerce Clause”, Congress has claimed the authority to regulate, control, ban, or mandate virtually everything. Virginia’s HB1438 puts that to an end by taking control of ALL commerce within the state
* Gun Rights, EPA Regulations, Monetary Policy and more: Expect to see various states around the country consider legislation on these, and other, issues in 2011. Any undelegated federal power can, and should, be nullified on a state level.

World-class speakers like Thomas E. Woods will be on hand to explain just what nullification is, and how it works – both in history and right now.
Woods, who is the NY Times Best-selling author of Meltdown and The Politically-Incorrect Guide to American History, has his latest book on sale now. In Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21 Century, he explains:
* How we can roll back Obamacare, cap and trade, and other unconstitutional expansions of federal power through nullification
* Why the Founding Fathers believed that nullification was the “moderate middle ground,” not the road to secession
* Why the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution gives the states the power to nullify unconstitutional laws
* Why states – not the Supreme Court – should arbitrate disputes between the states and the federal government over the constitutionality of the federal government’s actions.
As Thomas Jefferson said, there is a “rightful remedy” to the federal government’s uncontrollable quest for power – it’s called Nullification
