Tenther News 03-17-13: The Nullification Movement Goes Local
” Last week in Southwest Utah, the Iron County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in passing an Iron County 2nd Amendment Protection Resolution. This is the second Resolution passed in the county, the first being the Cedar City 2nd Amendment Resolution passed by the City Council in February.
The Resolution makes it clear that the county does not recognize any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, executive orders, or regulations that violate the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. It also requires the sheriff to take a stand to protect the right to keep and bear arms. It reads, in part:
“it shall be the duty of the Sheriff of Iron County to take all measures as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”
Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower is fully on board with the resolution. He said, “I will not allow anyone to come into this county and violate the Constitutions of the United States or Utah. If I have to stand in the street and stop that from happening I would do it.” He further said, “I have refused to sign any agreements or contracts with Homeland Security or any other federal department and no one can come in and preempt the local control of our law enforcement. The US Constitution will not be violated on my watch.”
In Maine, the town of Millinocket also passed a 2nd Amendment resolution last week. Town Councilors Jimmy Busque and Michelle Anderson both explained the importance of this Resolution to those present. Busque explained the importance of the resolution and why its passage was required, followed by Anderson discussing the history of nullification. The resolution passed by a vote of 5-2.
A similar resolution is being considered on Monday night in Upper Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania. It would 1) Condemn federal overreach and infringement upon the Right of the Individual to Keep and Bear Arms; 2) Express support for, and urge immediate passage of PA House Bill 357 and 3) Reserve the right of the Township to take measures necessary to prevent enforcement of federal acts regarding the Right of the Individual to Keep and Bear Arms.
Also in Maine, the town of Brooksville held a public referendum in support of a Food Freedom Ordinance, which nullifies unconstitutional overreach from the FDA. The ordinance exempts “producers and processors” of local foods in town from state and federal licensure and inspection, so long as they leave the middleman out and sell their produce, baked goods, dairy and meat directly to customers. It passed by a vote of 112-64.”

The federal government cannot put the whole population in prison, though I’m sure they’d like to try. Neither can the federal government do much of a majority of the states rebel and refuse to be treated as subordinates any longer.
Have you heard of Operation Inaction?
Here’s an idea: Do nothing.
Sit at home and chill. Don’t go out to eat, don’t go to the movies,
shopping, work, school, don’t drive your car, don’t do anything!
Just stock up on a month’s worth of supplies, like food, medications – those regular things you’ll need – and do nothing.
If more than half the United States does this all at the same time, can
you imagine what would happen to the economy? Can you imagine the sort
of response that would be triggered?
What’s even better is that this isn’t violent in any way. It’s a silent message. It’s not even rebellion. But it will get their attention in as little as one week’s time.
There have been studies made on how the country would be affected if just a smallpox outbreak was reported at several key transportation areas like JFK, O’Hare, etc.
Think of what it would do – how your voice WOULD be heard if you were to DO NOTHING for just one week. Two weeks or even one month.
All that’s necessary is to do absolutely nothing – don’t fly – don’t drive or ride a bus or
even a subway. Don’t leave your home to go to work or shopping – don’t
send your kids to school – don’t pay your bills – don’t do anything.
If you are a health care provider – a nurse or doctor – don’t go back to
your normal duties because once you have all shut down and are not doing
your normal activities the beast will be forced to send in its military
personnel to staff regular civilian duties until they end the Country’s
strike.
But in order to bring this beast to its knees you will
need the vast majority of people to follow suit. In one weeks time –
just 7 days of no activity the President will be urging every American
to go back to work and their normal activities.
In two weeks time he will be begging you – and in one month the government will be in such dire strait they will be willing to listen to the people’s voice.
All done without firing a shot or any kind of violence – simply unify
and DO NOTHING until the beast is brought to its knees by your inaction.
Pass it on! Operation Inaction Starting April 1, 2013
