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!”

Interesting & I hope the states do it. I doubt my corrupt state will sadly.
Yeah right. And then the Federal Government threatens to strip a state of Federal funding, blah, blah, blah.. The usual extortion.
But.. There is that pesky thing called “legality”. The Constitutional (and otherwise)legality of Obamacare COULD conceivably end up in the courts for years. YEARS. So, load the SCOTUS with the socialists and quick, Dems!
The article names four states (including Hawaii?), but if I remember correctly, more than thirty states might be willing to tell Obama to enforce his own laws, ‘cause they aren’t ours, and aren’t gonna be.
Alone, most states would collapse. Together, we might have the resources, agriculture, and manufacturing skills to collapse the marxist feds. I’m not advocating secession, just a firm, “Go away,” and the guts to blow out a few federal tires before, if necessary, working our way up. I very much doubt the military would come against us.
Hey, Tim (Pawlenty), you up for a fracas? [Doubtful, but I will try.]
At this point, Western States would be better off to tell the feds to go hang. Take back BLM land, Fed Forests, control of waters and mines, and open it all back up to put folks to work.
I guarantee there is more income to the states that way than any federal dollars currently being waved around.
Bump
BTW, I discovered from the previous article I ~pinged~ that we are now known as "Tenthers". Sounds like something the kos kiddies might have come up with so it could be worse.

Exactly. You can guarantee that there will be an “or else the state loses funding for it roads and Medicaid and everything else” clause. And there aren’t enough politicians who will the tell the government to stick it and then stop all forms of federal payments.
The Fed government is paid with our taxes. We can put more money into our states rather than the Fed.
We either stop this at the state level or we go down the toilet bowl of history. Americans can decide and they better decide while we still have a country left to rescue.
Exactly.
Sounds interesting. Would you mind supplying some background, mission statement, etc???
Thank you! Our next best hope... if not our last....
I actually like the label “Tenthers”.
I’ll wear it with pride.
A proud “tenther” here.
Sheriff Mack is the Oathkeeper.org guy, right?
