Nullification Summit to focus on states stopping unconstitutional laws

States’ rights are in the air, along with a renewed focus on the US Constitution, and The Tenth Amendment Center will hold a summit to inform the public how to “stop federal mandates at the state border.” The Florida Tenth Amendment Summit will be held in Orlando at the Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate on 10-10-10—there’s a nice touch of marketing savvy in the selection of that date.

By Kay B. Day

Thomas E. Woods, Jr.'s new book 'Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century' (Regnery) is climbing rapidly in sales.The new book ‘Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century’ by Thomas E.

Screen snip of Tenth Amendment Center's Facebook Page. where more than 12,000 members come for news and information.Relying on a federal lawsuit to invalidate the new Health Care Reform Law is not only an uncertain endeavor in the face of decades of bad Supreme Court precedent; it could also take years to go anywhere, according to the Tenth Amendment Center. “The reality is this, considering a lawsuit as the primary response leaves the people in opposition holding the bag,” says Michael Boldin, founder of the Center. “That's why we advocate a solution to this mess that leaves the people, not the courts, in charge."

(Los Angeles, CA)—"Prominent founders such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison warned us that if the federal government ever became the sole and exclusive arbiter of its own powers, those powers would continue to grow, regardless of elections, courts, separation of powers or other much-vaunted checks and balances in our system," said Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center.
