There are two bills in the State of Tennessee House and Senate that need to get passed.
The bills are for the Nullification of Unconstitutional Federal Laws in the State of Tennessee.
The bill numbers are HB 1212 - for the House and SB 0620 for the Senate.
I have spoken with the two elected officials who wrote the bills (Rep. Ragan - for the House and Sen. Campfield for the Senate) multiple times regarding the bills.
I have also spoken to the Chair (Rep. Haynes) of the Subcommittee (State and Local Government) where the HB 1212 needs to get passed first.
The members of the Sub Committee - which needs to pass this bill first are:
Please contact the above and tell them to support the HB 1212 Bill in the sub committee and pass it.
Rep. Ryan Haynes the Chair was very open to getting the bill through the sub committee when I spoke with him on 1/3/12.
Since then I have spoken to many people about the nullification bill and did not think a petition would need to be signed by the People of Tennessee to get the bills through the State Legislative House and Senate. I believe I was wrong about that now. I believe pressure from the People in letting their elected officials know how they feel and demand the State stand up for the Constitution and Bill of Rights for the Citizens of Tennessee, is needed. I will not go into why, but it seems some things have shifted since I thought all involved were on board to Tennessee standing up to Unconstitutional Federal Laws.
I have been working on this nullification bill in Tennessee since the beginning of the year with countless of phone calls and a couple of meetings about it.
In fact I have found "Meet Ups" which I was not familiar with before. It is like minded people in all areas of the U.S who meet together with common interest and goals.
The main site for Meet Up - is here.
I have personally joined the "Patriots, 10th Amendment, Ron Paul, and We are Change" Meet Ups in my area. I have gone to a couple of meetings and have found everyone is real and we all share similar goals and ideas. It is very refreshing to be able to meet and talk to others who are Awake and Aware of all things going on.
Take a look in your area and see if there are Meet Ups that you may want to join. People working together accomplishes much more than working alone on like minded goals.
Because I do not have full confidence in the Nullification Bill in the Tennessee House getting passed without pressure from the Citizens of Tennessee, I have now begun a Petition. This petition will be given to the Legislators of Tennessee to Demand they Pass the Nullification of Unconstitutional Federal Laws. Which then the Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens has to be nullified immediately in Tennessee. It is an Unlawful Law that the Federal House, Senate passed and Obama signed.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND PASS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN TENNESSEE!
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
FYI - Whoever wants to sign it from where ever you are - Please DO! It will show support for the States to Stand Up for the Constitution and against Unconstitutional Federal Laws.
FYI - It seems there are some saying this bill "failed" last year in Tennessee. That is not true. This bill did not have a "2nd" in the subcommittee when it first came up. But that is being worked on now. The bill is Alive and did not fail, we need to make sure it gets pushed through the sub committee and on the House floor for a full vote through people getting involved.
Added 8:15 PM est - 1/10/12 - Arizona Passed a Federal Law Nullification Bill in 2011 in the State Senate.
UPDATE - Video of People Simply Voicing their opinion of the NDAA law and being arrested!
Zerohedge has a good post about it - Here is the video

ReplyDeleteI am sending this to EVERY single person I know. Thanks for all your hard work Sherrie.
ReplyDeleteRon Paul is the only hope this country has.
Nullification Acts are part of a larger movement called Soft Secession.
ReplyDeleteWith a Soft Secession the people of the state are empowered against the federales and their tyranny.
I would invite you over to Western Hero - there you will find some kindred spirits.

Aren't unconstitutional laws null and void by default?
ReplyDeleteLooks like disturbance of the peace to me. Did they have a permit to protest?
ReplyDeleteNullification of Federal laws by the states was decided years ago: They can't. See, for example, the Supreme Court case of Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1 (1958).
ReplyDeleteBasically, you want to dissolve the United States. I have long believed that certain types of conservatives actually hate the US, and I thank you for proving me correct
Read the 10th Amendment. There are many Supreme Court decisions that do not comport with it. The Supreme Court really doesn't have the final say; the States do, or the People.
DeleteIt's not hate, anymore than it's hate of your child when you attempt to discipline him.
You've already lost. NANANANANANA NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!! 4 LIFE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that nWo!!!!
