An idea whose time has come

Nullify Now
Posted by Thomas Woods on September 3, 2010 07:00 AM

You will not be surprised to learn that with a few honorable exceptions, high-profile TV and radio have so far shied away from the recent wave of interest in state nullification of unconstitutional federal laws. (Need I point out that Judge Andrew Napolitano has been his usual fearless self, even as others have run away from the topic?) But the idea has begun to trickle out anyway. Jeff Taylor, who describes himself as being more on the left than the right, managed to bring the topic of nullification to a Huffington Post audience. Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, is speaking at a major nullification rally on October 10. Martha Dean, the GOP candidate for Attorney General in Connecticut, says (see 4:50) she supports legislative efforts to nullify unconstitutional federal laws. There are plenty more examples. State and local political candidates are beginning to discuss the forbidden subject. Everywhere I go around the country I’m hearing that nullification initiatives are going to be pushed seriously in upcoming state legislative sessions. The television hosts who have been AWOL so far can go on pretending this isn’t happening for only so long.

That’s why this weekend is so significant.

...and she is one of the ONLY candidates from EITHER side of the aisle whom is not taking the program where taxpayers pay for the campaign from tax dollars. It will take all of us nullification people to support her in order for her to win. Money too. To donate to her campaign, here is the link:

I've done what I can in that regard, I've posted about Martha to a political message board I frequent and also indicated that out of state donations are welcome. :)
