Michael Boldin is founder of the Tenth Amendment Center. He believes 2010 may be the 'Year of the 10th.'Tenth Amendment Center founder Michael Boldin believes 2010 may be the “Year of the 10th,” with the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution underpinning the drive’s momentum. Boldin said, "With people looking to resist D.C. through state laws on everything from national health care to medical marijuana, the 10th Amendment appears ready to be front and center in the national debate this year." In a statement from the Center Boldin cited examples of states disagreeing with federal laws on gun control, the Bush-era Real I.D. Act and medical marijuana laws, among others.
"Already, over a dozen states are considering laws or state constitutional amendments that would effectively ban, or nullify, any proposed national health care plan in their state, and we expect that number to reach at least twenty in 2010," he said.

Republican Liberty Caucus (Florida) chair Will Pitts, addressing the 2009 National RLC Convention in Jacksonville, keeps members informed about politics and legislation.[Photo by Kay B. Day]Idaho is the latest state to remind the federal government that power is “inherent in the people.” Republican Liberty Caucus chair for Florida Will Pitts informed members late Wednesday Idaho passed the 10th Amendment Resolution Memorial. Pitts said the resolution “will now be forwarded to the US Congress and the President as a notice and demand to cease and desist all unconstitutional activity.”
According to The Tenth Amendment Center, more than 30 states have either passed such a resolution or are in the process of doing so. The movement actually gained momentum during President George W. Bush’s term as conservatives and libertarians grappled with implications of The Patriot Act and other issues.
