⚠️ The only cure for a corrupted republic:
“When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils, but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles.”
-Montesquieu

The 10th amendment explains the entire American constitutional system in just 28 words
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
The people are the source of all power
Government is merely an agent, the hired help
and they only get to exercise those powers that people have chosen to let them exercise
And nothing more.
April 19, 1775: The fighting at Lexington and Concord didn't start because the British army came to collect taxes.
It was because of gun control.

“SURELY you never will tamely suffer this country to be a den of thieves."
That was John Hancock's urgent plea to the people in 1774.
He knew that a moral and courageous people - - they'd never let this country become a cesspool of corruption, plunder and waste.
He said -
"Remember, my friends, from whom you sprang”
Unfortunately, we the people forgot long ago.
"FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES"
July 2nd, not the 4th - 1776 - the Richard Henry Lee resolution was passed by the 2nd Continental Congress.
It declared the united colonies were independent, and all political connection between them and Great Britain was “totally dissolved”
It also called for foreign alliances
And a plan that became the Articles of Confederation
The Lee Resolution is the story behind the Declaration of independence that most people never learn about.
🇺🇸 NULLIFY. NULLIFY. NULLIFY!
Anytime the federal government
assumes power it was never delegated,
The remedy isn’t submission. It’s nullification.
“Where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.”
- Thomas Jefferson
President Trump said that his income has surged since he became president because of improved conditions in financial markets.
“You know why I’m profiting, because the stock market’s going up,” Trump told reporters. “Everybody’s profiting." https://t.co/5pHlPQweLB
“A free people CLAIM their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.”
Thomas Jefferson was right
We don't get our rights from governments or documents
as the declaration of independence made so clear - they are inalienable and come from our creator.
And free people exercise them - whether the government likes it, or not.
“We fear not death”
For John Hancock and the American Revolutionaries "Liberty or Death" wasn’t just a slogan
It was a warning
Rights aren’t gifts from government. And if you violate them you'll pay the price
This natural rights foundation was built on a 2000 year lineage that made “Rebellion to tyrants” Not just a suggestion
But a moral duty
“Obedience to God”
