The American Form Of Government

August 22, 2010 | Constitution, Founders, Founding Documents, History

As Benjamin Franklin was leaving the building where, after four months of hard work, the Constitution had been completed and signed, a lady asked him what kind of government did the convention create. A very old, very tired, and very wise Benjamin Franklin replied; "A Republic, ma'am if you can keep it."

Nullification

July 18, 2010 | Constitution, Founders, Founding Documents, History

Where do we go when the federal government abandons all pretense of adhering to the limits placed upon it by the States, and ratified in the Constitution? Obviously we can't depend upon the Supreme Court, which picks and chooses the cases it will hear, and then legislates from the bench. We can no longer depend upon those we send to congress to abide their oath of office. They are just paid-off pawns in what appears to be an agenda designed to eliminate liberty. Author, and historian Tom Woods talks about Nullification and the importance it played when forming this nation in this interview at Press TV.

Media coverage of the Tea Party Express, which is on its way to Washington! CNN and Fox News have both covered the kickoff of the caravan today, which began in Sacramento. http://912dc.org/ At 1 p.m. eastern, C-Span will have coverage of the 9/12 March on Washington, which promises to be the biggest tea party to date. You can watch on line here: www.cspan.org The Republican-affiliated Tea Party Movement, aimed at derailing the agenda of the Democrat-led federal government, plans a mass protest in the nation's capital. Democratic President Barak Obama's plan to overhaul healthcare is in their bullseye, but their grievances cover issues that include gun rights, taxes and oil drilling. The movement took its name from an incident on 16 Dec 1773 when American patriots, protesting a British tax, threw 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. The protest events begin with speeches, lectures and activist workshops on the first day. There is a pause on the second day to commemorate the terror attacks of 11 Sep 2001. The events pick up again after the ceremony. They end on the Saturday with the crowd marching down Pennsylvania Ave to gather for their protest at the US Capitol. Some 22 organizations are sponsoring the September protest. The larger national-level conservative groups, all with slightly different agendas, have been busy with other protest activities around the country since Democratic President Barak Obama took office. On Apr 15, tax day in the United States, they organized "tea parties" opposing "out of control spending at all levels of government." In the week since the US House of Representatives began its summer break, several town-hall meetings conducted by Democratic lawmakers who support Obama's healthcare reform have been disrupted by catcalling demonstrators. Congressman Brian Baird of Vancouver cancelled his planned forum after death threats. Democrats have accused Republicans of sanctioning mob tactics at the meetings.
