Dear Patriots
William Grant Burmer
In light of the plethora of Executive orders by the
President, the regulations of his czars, and the left wing communists in the Congress,
it is left to us to remedy the dilemma
they have forged upon “We The
People.” We are not left without hope if
we continue as we have with the “Tea Party Movement.” Its success largely lie with us individually
and collectively to right these wrongs.
A little bit
of history will help us see more clearly how we can overcome these
Unconstitutional Mandates:
In 1828
President Jackson instituted what became known as the “tariff act of 1828” A Tax
upon South Carolina on imports from Briton.
Essentially forcing the South to pay higher taxes on goods they did not
produce. And offhandedly made the
British pay more for the cotton they purchased from the South.
In 1828 however the South issued what was
known as the right to “Nullification.”
In U.S. history this is based on the Tenth Amendment to the
Constitution. It held that any state has
a right to declare null and void any federal law that they deem
unconstitutional, the federal government has no right to exercise powers not
specifically assigned to it by the U.S. Constitution; as early as 1799 Kentucky
and Virginia declared nullification to be the rightful remedy by the states for
ALL UNAUTHORIZED acts done under the pretext of the Constitution. In this instance of 1828 which, favored the
North over the South.
The
Industries of the Northern New England states could not compete with the cheaper
imports of the South precipitating the Tariff in the first place. Several remedies were sought after however
all eventually, as we all know led to Civil War in 1864.
Our cause should be to support those in our legislatures
to steadfastly demand that the federal government not exceed it constitutional
authority. Be it “Obama Care, ”
Executive orders, of Congressional Legislation, if it is not authorized
Constitutionally, based upon delegated
authority, we have a right and moral obligation to oppose and declare their actions Null and
Void.
Nullification is commendable as a principal because its
persistent practice engenders trust between the elected and the electorate and
encourages reliable patterns of interaction between the citizen, the state and
Local Authorities as well as the federal government; all creatures of “We The
People.”
The concerned citizens of our Republic are no longer
willing to defer to Congress, State Legislators, or other elected officials at
any level to repeal Unconstitutional Laws and oppression upon our unalienable
rights to pursue our own happiness. We have a right and a duty to unashamedly
assume our right to derail the “long train of abuses and usurpations” and
‘provide new Guards for (our) future security” ---The States and most
importantly ---themselves. Speak out
America Let those we elect hear our voices!!! Let God hear from us in our pleas
for his help in these worthy pursuits.

I sent the following to President OBAMA Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Jeff Denham, John Bainer, and Devin Nunez. If you have an issue don’t forget to share it with our elected leaders. They need to hear from each of us, and often. Grant.
