Nullification and the NDAA

I prepared this page to accompany my video “Nullify the NDAA!”:

For the Tenth Amendment Center’s crucial work on NDAA nullification, click here. For a report on the bill that passed the Virginia legislature on February 28, 2012, click here.

For a systematic defense of nullification, including replies to common objections, see my “Nullification: Answering the Objections.”

For a basic overview of the subject in video form, see my speech to the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association:

To get a sense of what it’s like to discuss nullification with the mainstream media, see my Interview with a Zombie:

My book Nullification, endorsed by Judge Andrew Napolitano, Prof. Walter Williams, and former congressman Barry Goldwater Jr., is available for a limited time for a mere ten smackers. If Amazon is out of those, here’s the regular-price page for the book.

    Interactive Thread: Submit Names of Pro-Slavery Radio Hosts
    We can generate a new approach to leap frog Ron Paul in the public eye by drawing attention to the radio talkers who are pro-slavery by default of shilling for pro-Federal Reserve candidates.
    In most cases they will qualify not by what they say but by what they have failed to articulate and express in thousands of hours of endless talk.
    For starters we have-Rush Limbaugh-Glenn Beck (the irony)-Mark Levin-Michael Savage-Quinn & Rose War Room (Pittsburgh)-Sean Hannity-Bill O’Reilly
    and any other possibly more local show hosts you come across.
    I will base my article on the basis of the Federal Reserve/IRS Complex involuntary, point-of-a-gun forced participation in the confiscation of every Americans’ fruit of their labors.
    We can push the article out on Drudge, and all of the show contacts we have combined over the years.
    2012 is probably our last chance in another 100 years to Abolish Economic Slavery in America. Next December is the 100 year anniversary of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, when it all started.
    Please help build this conversation and spread the message.We need everything. Quotes, clips, photos and graphics. Let’s make the Summer of 2012 the hottest summer on record and the turning point of the Republic towards home.
    This is really the heart of Ron Paul’s message and it has lacked articulation in terms of how the culture perpetuates the debt slavery and tax bondage of the FED/IRS Complex.
