An excellent article indeed. As a Florida attorney myself, I believe that resistance may one day require even force, i.e. secession and/or civil war. I gave an oath, as a former assistant state attorney, to support and defend the Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. I have an oath to the Constitution not to any regime like the Obama regime. Therefore, that oath may one day compel me, if I am to be faithful to that oath, in defense of the U.S. Constitution, our liberties, and our freedoms, to call for the support of secession and/or civil war, i.e. the removal of the corrupt radical marxist pathologically lying narcissist Obama in the White House and his radicals in the Congress using whatever means necessary. I was born a free man and I’ll be damned if I’m going to die a serf.

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said we must from time to time refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson also said when the people fear the government you have tyranny and when the government fears the people you have liberty. Sadly, I fear this radical marxist regime and fear for my country. Our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Indepedence that we have not only a right to remove oppressive/corrupts governments, but also the DUTY to do so. I withdraw my consent and I do not view this usurper radical in the White House as my “President”.

As I have watched these radical Alinsky followers, they demonize and vilify the American people like Hitler did the Jews. These people must go. So yes resist them and do whatever you must as a free people to remove them. I was never a believer in the “ends justify the means”, but if liberty is the ends then I will support the means. As Barry Goldwater once said, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue”. So pray that we can recapture the Congress in 2010 and that Obama does not corrupt the election process. ACORN and SEIU, Obama’s allies, have no problem stealing and/or corrupting elections. If they succeed at such, then such event permits the American people to drop the ballot box and return to the ammo box. So be prepared to lock and load if duty calls for all free men and women to come to the aid of liberty.

RE: Response to Timothy Baldwin’s article, “National ID: Who Will Resist?”

Mr. Baldwin,

Hallelujah! It’s damn time someone other than Napolitano and us has said what needs to be said. Tim, you are to be commended on this on-point, relevant and direct presentation.

In answer to your question, “Who will resist?” The answer is, “We will, and we are!”

We at The PEOPLES CONSTITUTION COALITION OF OHIO (PCCOH) have addressed this matter, formulated a solution, implemented a plan, and are currently looking for patriotic Americans who still have a backbone and will pledge their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to help execute this plan to preserve and protect our state and federal Constitutions and the federalist system of government they represent.

You discussed how President Lincoln set the stage for federal government encroachment. However, the problem started way before that – it started right after the Revolutionary War and was first introduced at the Convention of 1787 by, none other than, James Madison, the man accredited as the “Father of the Constitution”. Though Madison provided significant influence in the establishment of our federal system based on ideas in his “Virginia Plan”, he also supported, encouraged and promoted that the central government should be “National” in form, thereby eliminating the independent sovereignty of the states. His intent was that a supreme national executive, legislative and judiciary would have powers to “negative” (nullify) state laws. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers eventually smothered the idea of a nationalist system and retained the “Federalist” model originally secured under the Articles of Confederation.

Throughout the 1800’s, the idea of a nationalist, dominating and all-powerful central government never completely went away. There are many evidences whereby top officials of the day expanded the notion of nationalism and implemented laws that usurped the powers of the states (see New Views of the Constitution of the United States, by John Taylor of Caroline, 1823 – available online). This usurpation of powers by the federal government is the real cause of the War Between the States (mistakenly called the Civil War). A historical review of modifications to various state Constitutions prior to the “Civil War” reveals a significant influence of a nationalist doctrine.

However, perhaps the most prominent display of the federal government’s usurpation over the states is found in the 14th and 17th Articles in Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. Of course, we could go on and on.

My point is this: The people of America ARE starting to wake up, slowly. As Tim states, most are relying on their elected officials to fix the problems, and this approach is, quite frankly, insane. The time is at hand that the people must exercise their sovereign powers to restore the constitutional federal republic of Union states. Check out our solution and plan at http://www.pccoh.com. No matter where you are in the 50 states, we need your help to get control over government and mandate that it comply with and is held accountable to our state and federal Constitutions.

Tim, thanks for your presentation.

I agree that, at present, we cannot rely on 3/4 of the American people to amend the Constituion. There are not enough people that care. (Though I don’t think we should stop hoping, praying, and trying to convince people, say, of the need to outlaw abortion.) I think the best course is still voting for conservative presidents–that is, as conservative as is possible while still being electable–that can at least appoint conservative justices and judges. That is not an ultimately winning strategy, I admit. It is a strategy that can only result in a holding pattern. Politically, I think that is the best we can hope for. The rest of our hope must be in God, as Bill Crist says above. I still believe in miracles and His power to intervene in the affairs of men.

Perhaps God in His mercy will again send us a great leader, a man of vision and courage, respected by the mass of people; another George Washington, who will use the power of the federal government in order to dismantle it; for I agree that a holding pattern such as I have suggested entails a continuation of the power of the federal government over states and individuals which the founders would have mostly rejected; however I don’t see another way to put a final end to that over-concentraton of power in the federal gov’t.

Certainly Tim’s suggested way is simply suicidal. American history has proven that more than once; and there is no reason to believe that resistance such as he suggests would work out better this time. Rather, there are a couple reasons to think that they would be even more futile than in the past–namely, 1) the federal government is stronger than ever, and 2) the states and people are weaker than ever.

Previously I have suggested that we should try to make the states stronger so that they would be able to effectively resist the federal power; but my plan was based on amending the Constitution in order to give the states more power in Washington. I believe now that I had too much faith and hope in the American people for that. They are not going to repeal the 17th amendent, and they are not going to constitutionally amend the commerce clause. They certainly could, but they won’t; but if they won’t do something that simple, how much less will they be able to successfully carry out an action of the type Tim suggests?

Legally, they have plenary power to amend the Constitution and curtail federal power; such power is their birthright, protected by law, and costs them nothing–yet they do nothing; they do not use this power. Will they instead rouse themselves to take extraordinary and, strictly speaking, illegal measures to curtail federal power? Measures that would require their suffering and sacrifice? No; I think not.

What then do individuals that want to live in freedom do? They suffer and pray; because fighting will end both their cause and themselves.

A man that sounds the trumpet to battle must have a strategy for winning. Tim, I don’t see your winning strategy. Therefore I counsel that the time to fight is not now.

The governors of several states are beginning to get the idea that they, too, can stand, and have taken small steps to ease their way into the arena of individual rights by asserting the rights of their states under the 10th amendment.
Granted, it’s a small start. But it is a start. And a beginning has to start some where.
I have never had much faith in government. But I have enormous faith in Americans.
It’s time for Americans to stand, too. Enough is enough.

As an old submarine officer, I suggest that we adopt the wolfpack strategy. Attack from every possible angle, from within and without, until the shear weight of fending us off overcomes the purpetrators.

Maybe an ACORN-like structure to consolidate the efforts of the numerous scoundrels that are sniping away at the Federal Government structure would be helpful in increasing the effectiveness of our attacks. We must hang together or most assuredly….

Keep on sniping, you’re aim is excellent and you’re training other marksmen. Keep shooting…
