We’re all struggling to articulate what it is we’re fighting against.  Sure, right now it’s healthcare, tomorrow it will be Cap & Trade and on and on and on we’ll go.  But is that really what we’re fighting against?

I contend what we’re really fighting against isn’t specific policies, rather it’s the soft tyranny of an out-of-control federal government.  Congress refuses to restrain itself.  The Presidency sees no limits to it’s power to execute the law on us, the citizens. The Supreme Court will not force the other two branches to comply with the Constitution; instead, they provide the precedent necessary to expand their reach.

Well, the ultimate check and balance granted to us by the 10th Amendment and the Declaration of Independence is to force the federal government back into the box created by the Founders.  We do this through the ballot box now, but eventually, a Constitutional Convention may be necessary as I fear the government no longer fears nor respects the populace…thus, we must compel them to.

So, as you gather at your local Tea parties or assemble under the 1st Amendment in Washington DC this Saturday, make connections.  Identify others you may be able to keep in touch with.  Join local groups that share your values. Organize, organize, organize.  If we’re going to have any chance at success, it will be because we’re organized.
