We the People forget our founding fathers LIMITED THE FEDERAL government.
WE THE PEOPLE AS A STATE BODY TRUMP THE FED according to the Constitution.
Not the other way around.

The liberal/progressives would like you to believe CONSTITUTIONAL NULLIFICATION is some radical right-wing “nutty” action.

Apparently that interpretation depends on whose ox is being gored at the moment.

We INFACT see the progressive-left politicians and supporters allow, use and promote “nullification” in illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, and drug legalization daily.

The Rachel Maddows and ilk are either hypocritical, ignorant or both.

So what is NULLIFICATION?

by Thomas E Woods, LewRockwell.com

In 1798, the legislatures of Virginia and Kentucky approved resolutions that affirmed the states’ right to resist federal encroachments on their powers. If the federal government has the exclusive right to judge the extent of its own powers, warned the resolutions’ authors (James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, respectively), it will continue to grow – regardless of elections, the separation of powers, and other much-touted limits on government power. The Virginia Resolutions spoke of the states’ right to “interpose” between the federal government and the people of the state; the Kentucky Resolutions (in a 1799 follow-up to the original resolutions) used the term “nullification” – the states, they said, could nullify unconstitutional federal laws.
The whole story …

Today, I came to the realization that we really don’t need any new Constitutional Amendments.

What we need is to punish those elected officials that violate the ones we already have. The original 13th Amendment passed overwhelmingly by Congress in 1810 and finally ratified in 1819 if observed today would be able to solve the number one reason why our government is so corrupt.

This Amendment prohibited Titles of Nobility and prohibited elected officials from accepting emoluments.

In other words elected officials would be prohibited from taking bribes and/or campaign contributions. The Amendment made it illegal for the government to offer benefits and/or entitlements to any group that were not available to all. The purpose of the amendment was to make everyone equal under the law. Violators of this Amendment were to lose their citizenship.

This Amendment was ratified by Virginia in March of 1819. Virginia became the 13th state to ratify which allowed the Amendment to become the law of the land. It was published in Constitutions up until the time of the Civil War when it mysteriously vanished without being repealed.

It’s the right of We The People to join together in an assembly on the authority of the U.S. Constitution to discuss concerns politicians and media are failing to mention.

Are you aware we’re currently being denied that constitutional right?

Despite 700+ Article V applications from 49 of the 50 states, Congress is ignoring its obligation to issue the call for the Article V Convention.

Since history began, all political reformations the world over have always come down to one thing: a tipping-point majority joined in common cause.

The question is not whether the Convention is a good or bad idea.

The issue is whether or not Congress should be allowed to violate the Constitution whenever they choose.

ARTICLE V CONVENTION FACTS:

• The Article V Convention is not a “constitutional convention” or “Con-Con”, and does not and cannot re-write the U.S. Constitution.

• Whatever is discussed at the Article V Convention, 38 states must then agree to adopt any proposals before an amendment is ratified.

• The Article V Convention is simply a deliberative assembly of state delegates discussing what might garner the approval from an overwhelming amount of citizens from across the political spectrum.

• The Article V Convention is, by law, currently mandated by Article V and the U.S. Constitution.

• The Article V Convention returns us to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law, reviving both in the face of current institutionalized corruption.

While government spending was limited virtually all of the money needed to run the government was collected in the form of tariffs on imported goods. The Founding Fathers had a plan impose Direct Apportioned Taxes on the States if the tax revenue collected was inadequate.

If there was a budget deficit, they felt that each states should pay a portion of the debt based upon the population of that state. A state with 10% of the population would be responsible to pay 10% of the deficit while a state with 2% of the population would pay an amount equal to 2% of the deficit.

Each state would have the responsibility to pay its portion of the Federal Budget. Taxes would be collected by the states and the states in turn would pay the Federal Government. It would be the responsibility of the state
to determine how the tax revenue would be collected. If a tax payer in one state objected to the method that taxes were being collected, he would have the opportunity to move to a different state.

In the Constitution the Founders made it illegal for the Federal Government to tax the people directly. They believed that if a man were taxed directly he would be a subject rather than a sovereign.

The Founders would have been opposed to borrowing money to finance the government. They believed that yearly budget deficits would need to pay paid for by requiring the states to make up the difference.

In 1810 members of the House and Senate took action to prevent our government from being hijacked by Great Britain. Congressmen and Senators were convinced that British agents were making an attempt to infiltrate our government with lawyers, corrupt politicians, bankers and judges. In an effort to prevent this from happening they passed the 13th amendment. The House voted 87 to 3 and the Senate voted 27 to 1 in favor on the amendment.

The purpose of the amendment was to punish elected officials that accept emoluments (bribes,gifts or donations) from British agents or corporations. The members of Congress wanted to prevent elected officials from offering entitlements or special benefits to individuals or groups. They wanted everyone to be treated equally under the lsw. They did not an aristocracy to exist in America. The punishment for violating this amendment was to be the loss of citizenship to those that were found guilty. Congress did not want to see the birth of special interest groups because they knew that if special interest groups were allowed to be created, Congress would become the compromised and that corruption would reign in America.

The amendment need 13 of the 17 states to be ratified. 12 states ratified the amendment by 1812 but the 13th state to ratify was Virginia in March of 1819. The amendment began to be published in copies of the Constitution printed between 1820 and 1870. Mysteriously at the end of the Civil War the amendment disappeared. The same corrupt lawyers that were adversely effected by the amendment manage to expunge it without repealing it.
