Pink Slip Your State Legislature
The federal government does what it does but it takes the acquiescence and cooperation of the state and local authorities to implement their programs. We can stop the federal government at our respective state lines as they do not automatically have jurisdiction within the 50 states party to the Constitution. To do this we need to redirect the focus of our state legislatures. This Pink Slip and Notice & Demand is as the proverbial two-by-four that will get their attention.

(quoted T. Jefferson ) : “The several States composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general Government, but by a compact under the style and title of a constitution for the United States and of amendments thereto. They constituted a general Government for special purposes — delegated to that Government certain definite powers, reserving each State to itself the residuary mass of right to their own self-government ; and whensoever the general Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”
Isn't it time to put the federal government back into its box?
Americans acting like Americans
I would add to the comments of dalesvp and Octobox below the recommendation of a program whose stated goal is to get Americans to value the contribution of the founders and act accordingly.

"It has been generations since we have been a nation of riflemen."
(In particular, I would add to Octobox's list that they maintain the means and training to defend themselves, their families, and their freedom.)
Wisdom Abates Fear and Error
Early this morning I was preparing a paragraph or two to support the previous posting when I encountered the following post on another forum (Tips and Tricks on Yahoo egroups) to which I responded:
>SOMEBODY has to regulate and control the mindless masses!
>Why NOT let them sign up for the regulation?! Can you STOP them??
>You and I are vastly outnumbered, so we should live out the rest of our lives in our own freedom as we can do it and let others do as they will. We all reap what we sow.
>Regards, FF
FF, because of the high esteem I have for you and your freedom-oriented experience, I was a bit "stirred" when I saw your point of view.
Granted, I've sometimes thought I'd like to find a nice quiet secluded place and withdraw from all public debates currently swirling around the minds and hearts of America right now. All these debates show massive confusion in the minds of nearly everyone. The confusion comes from general ignorance of not knowing of who we are, who 'they' are and all the intricate interrelations between the two. Confusion or ignorance results in fear which engender bad decisions of action - chaos or at least misery in some form.
Just this early AM I intended to write a short general blurb on people's relationship to their state governments. Taking the Nebraska Constitution (1937) and Colorado Constitution (1886) I find these two documents are widely divergent in what they say and how they say it. What they say as concerns people's relations to their respective states is likewise very different. Realizing these documents have been extensively modified over the years leads one into a morass of such complexity nothing short of a lengthy and scholarly study would be able to decipher the mess. I assume this situation applies more or less equally to the other 48 state constitutions. Right now I feel my original intent is borderline hopeless and not really doable by me anyway.
At this very moment as I write this I am leaning quite steeply in the direction of your statement - find a nice quiet place to get out of the force 5 gale certain to come.
On the other hand I know there is another force out there besides the "regulated" and the "regulators". This because the entire regulation and perceived need for regulation context comes from the idea regulating EFFECTS and SYMPTOMS is a viable and desirable operation. As we all know messing with the effects gains nothing as concerns its cause. Stirring a dung pile does not make it smell better or go away. Or put another way we can continuously shovel smelly dung or we can remove the pooper and be done with it.
The cause of the effects we see in society is mostly ignorance born of false beliefs in the minds of the general public (regulated) as also in the minds of the so-called "regulators". They are all operating with muddled thinking based on erroneous beliefs which can only result in chaos, confusion, pain and suffering - which what we (those who can see) are seeing everywhere. To use a computer metaphor - dung in dung out.
If one wished to have a positive impact on this confusion attention would have to be directed at the CAUSE; i.e., ignorance, opinions and false beliefs. A wise person does not be caught up in arguments over whose beliefs are more real. This forum and countless other forums are all scratching for whatever truths can be found or discerned such that this massive confusion in our minds and "out there" can be diminished. Some forums excel at this while others seem to do little more than stir the dung heap or move it from spot to spot but still in the room.
I feel it behooves those of us who have certain "understandings" or "wisdom" to step forward in whichever ways and means that present themselves to voice our wisdom such as it may be. The world is crying out for peace but there is no peace in false beliefs, unsubstantiated opinions and ignorance. The wisdom some have is the salve others desperately need and seek but usually know not enough to ask. The end result of such sharing of wisdom would be a peace that progressively expands into and throughout society until eventually we get back what we sowed - peace in our neighbors which is peace in our society.
What makes you think "States" are not as Corrupt
hahahahahaha.
Like I want Arnold to have supreme authority over my life, hahahaha.
Voting and Lobbying, Pink Slips, and Homesteading.
Free-Markets function off of Entrepreneurialism -- they do not function off of politicial activism (of any kind).
Here's what they do in a free-society (on a day to day).
#1 They Buy Locally Grown Foods (as much as possible)
#2 They Buy Local Products and Services (keep the weath local becomes very important without federal gov't welfarism)
#3 They Homeschool (because it works and there's no public education)
#4 They Work under-the-table (or are sub-contractors)
#5 They never pay taxes of any kind (maybe a sales tax -- depending on how your state organizes)
#6 They never vote or lobby (at the federal level)
#7 They never keep their assets in Fed Backed Banks or on Wall Street
Wow! That sounds like Counter-Economics and we can begin to practice all of those right now.
In fact that's how Mises said you maintained a free-society.
So instead of "pink slips" and voting / lobbying let's try something that's never been tried on a mass scale -- Counter Economics.

*&^ Constitution --- Constitutional Rationality
Corruption at the state and local levels
is acknowledged. While I agree 100% with your free markets ideas (I practice many of them) they are not the whole solution and there is no single or Silver Bullet solution. The insane at the federal level are not content to allow you and me to do as we please even though we live more or less quietly and somewhat productive lives. It is their intent to FORCE you and me to be subservient to their ideas and demands and especially to cease being self-creative (free thinking and doing). In other words we are under active attack like it or not. We can be allowing as much as we are able and to support the abuses by turning one cheek for the other. Eventually at some point though we become as a door mat under the jack boots. And at that point one is morally required to say "enough is enough" as we are able. We can stand as individuals doing as we think/feel best or we can stand together. The one thing for sure now is we MUST STAND.

• State Authority and Intrastate Commerce Act - This bill provides that products grown, produced, or manufactured and located in Georgia shall not be subject to federal law or regulations.
http://www.georgiafirst.org/governor/State_Authority_and_Int...
• State Authority and Deposit Security Act - This bill provides the necessary "teeth" so as to prohibit state or federal agents or employees of financial institutions from seizing assets under color of law. For instance, under this law, it would not be possible for the IRS to seize the bank account of a Georgia citizen until such time as a court proceeding demonstrated the Constitutional authority and legality for such action against the citizen.

The Power of You
This Pink Slip initiative is of course all about states rights - where you live and have your life. The federal government knows it has no jurisdiction within any of the 50 states. It does therefore rely on agreements and adherence to guidelines to get its way. It cannot impose law or its force except in exceptional cases such as war or insurrection. The INDIVIDUAL has all the power though it has been brainwashed to believe otherwise. Second to the individual is the state which means the states have power over the federal government. This is the law folks. The NWO control freaks have turned the tables and got nearly everyone to believe it.
Of all the people running for office I think only MacBerry gets it right.
