“I disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling and believe that state governments were intended to serve as a check on the federal government,” said Ritze, R-Broken Arrow. “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which is better known as ObamaCare, is an example of federal overreach and my legislation will authorize the state to resist it and ban the enforcement of it.”

The States should tie Holder’s DOJ into knots by filing bills like this.
Right on-—I live in Maryland and we don’t have a chance. I wish I did live in a state with a real Governor instead of a Obama suck butt.
Maybe this year we can get rid of the Democrats in control.
Excellent!
I could figure out how the states could nullify a Federal law by legislative action. The "People" as a collective? I guess through the states legislature. But how does a person nullify a Federal law he/she doesn't except? Any ideas?
If he hopes to get anywhere with this, he had better identify it correctly. It is not an individual mandate, it is an individual penalty/tax. /sarc
Contact U-Haul They can be very friendly.
Agreed, we need to get our States to Join & support Oklahoma in this effort to protect our rights.
I hope Mississippi joins them along with another 20 or so to put some steel in the spine of our resolve to take this Nation back.

Praying Texas does the same.

Walter E. Williams: States should nullify Obamacare (said while subbing for Rush)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2903330/posts
The primary propose of the State nullification act is to give legitimacy to those resisting this unauthorized usurpation.
The next step is separate and needs to wait till we got broader support among the states. That step is called interposition it is where our State actually interpose ourselves to serve as our shield against Washington encroachment.
I hope Texas follows suit as well. It is time we show our spine in the defense of liberty.
True nullification happens under our federal system. The states have much power under our constitution that the fed power grabs are denying them. That’s why it behooves the states to resist and refuse. They offer the individual state resident a buffer that has certain standing under our system.
I know there are some individuals who will try to avoid and or disobey this law.
But if the IRS has access to your bank account you will have fines deducted from it.
And tax forms like we use now will ask you do you have health insurance. IF you lie and say yes when you don’t, you CAN be prosecuted for lying to the feds. If you say the truth, that you don’t, they will be on you like a cat on a june bug.
So the individual is handicapped against the federal leviathan. Not only should a state do what OK might do, but as many states as possible should do the exact same thing and nullify Obamacare as a large block of states.
Here’s what I was referencing:
The tax man cometh to police you on health care

We need the states to act on our behalf, and we need as many as possible to join together against the federal leviathan.
They have the ability to stand between us and the leviathan.
Otherwise we are picked off one by one by one by one by the feds via the IRS, with no power having our backs.
Our state government along with a group of state governments is in a much stronger position to tell the feds, back off. We aren’t doing this.
If the feds try to arrest our state leaders then our state law enforcement and national guard should resist. If it ever came to that and I hope not, still that is what we should do.
Like when Texians had a cannon before the war with Mexico broke out but trouble was brewing, and Mexico demanded their cannon so they could use it against marauding Indians, or so they said.
The Texians replied back “COME AND TAKE IT!”
Nullification, baby!
I love OK.
I am having a hard time getting my head around this. I live in California. California is preparing to nullify the federal immigration laws. So why can’t Florida and Oklahoma nullify Obamacare? What is the difference?

Let’s go nullification!
