Thanks Civ!

Lewis sounds the alarm for states’ rights and offers a way out of the constitutional malaise the nation finds itself in.

JMO, but he'll have to get in line. Do we have to buy the book to find out what his solution/s is/are? After some pretty serious discussons on this forum over the last year and a half or so I think we've pretty much decided the solution to be a simple, but not easy one: We The People have GOT to wake up and put the federal leviathan back in its Constitutional cage. The means and methods, not to mention the major disruptions likely to be involved are the sticky wicket and run the gamut from "we can work it all out at the ballot box to taking up arms and storming the Bastille".

For my part, I'm anxiously waiting to see what November brings. I think we'll have a better idea about the direction of the country then and will probably put a narrower focus on our options.

A ~ping~ for any of the group that might be interested in the book or have additional insights re our options.

Thanks for the ping. Jason Lewis is/was a local guy and board op who filled in a couple of times and now has his own radio show

The election will bring only a little change. The Dems,elites and Muslims still control Tv and forget the “Fox is our friends” BS. ALL TV is bad.

Columns are being written that “wealthier people and business will loosen their capital to create new jobs.”

“It ain’t gonna” happen until he is removed or impeached.

You can control the house and maybe the senate but they still control TV, the white hut plus the islamified intel community and govt agencies.

That about sums it up, unless the lame duck is actually a vulture.

I think that most of us here want a change in direction. The leviathon government apparatus has tremendous inertia. The people we elect and how true to their convictions they remain will do much to check it.

Congress still has the power of the purse. No matter what 0bambi submits as a budget, and assuming we gain control of the House, the newly elected will have to defund much of the budget. Zero dollars to DeathCare, Departments of Energy and Education and strip EPA of legslative powers.

It’s a tall order; but it must be done. Or we will have “narrower options”.

I believe that if we can get enough conservatives in power, we can restrict the growth of government. However, regardless of the party in power, it always brings the same thing... more federal government. The federal government continues to pass unconstitutional measures because they think that it's the "right" thing to do, even though they know are unconstitutional. States need to start standing up for themselves and nullify the unconstitutional laws. It has worked successfully many times. Voting may help, but it will never fix the system.

Our first step should be to repeal the 17th Amendment. It will help return the power to the states.

Re: the November elections —

I hope we all understand that all eyes must not be on Washington.

State elections are extremely important for two reasons: we need state lawmakers on our side to oversee congressional redistricting and to stand up to the feds on states’ rights issues.
