Options for America’s Future

 

Choosing to join the union was clearly a voluntary decision made by each of the sovereign states with the consent of their citizens.  It follows, therefore, that each state retained the constitutional authority to modify or disobey unconstitutional laws and even to leave the union as long as the proposed remedy is not specifically prohibited by the Constitution.  Our founders did, in fact, give us the tools to combat the unconstitutional usurpation of power by the federal government, namely, nullification (including jury nullification), interposition, and secession, all of which they expected to be invoked by a moral, informed body of sovereign citizens in each sovereign state.

  

A friend related a recent experience that parodied America’s past and could possibly predict our nation’s future.

Several years ago, I joined a group of like-minded people engaged in promoting local business ventures.  After reading documents that included a mission statement, membership requirements, and governing structure, I signed up and paid my initiation fees and annual dues.  As an active participant, I attended meetings, followed the rules, and worked to achieve our goals.  There were a few odd balls and several small cliques, but the overall effort proceeded as promised.
