Practical Federalism – Arizona Pleads The Tenth!

11042014_election-arizona-122The Tenth Amendment, that is – see the results of practical efforts to push back the Federal Government’s overreach. Listen to founder and Executive Director of the Tenth Amendment Center, Michael Boldin, on GrokTALK! today, as we discuss the efforts of the TAC to preserve your constitutional freedoms, as well as the impact of this week’s elections.

What Arizona just did, was to approve Proposition 122, which:

…enshrines the anti-commandeering doctrine in the state constitution. The language amends the state constitution to give Arizona the ability to “exercise its sovereign authority to restrict the actions of its personnel and the use of its financial resources to purposes that are consistent with the Constitution.”

Furthermore:

Prop 122 places language in the state constitution that would empower the state to pass referendums, bills or use other legal means to end cooperation with an unconstitutional federal act. Supporters of the amendment say the provision allowing the people to vote to refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will prove especially significant.

“Basically, it will allow Arizonians to hold a state referendum on federal policy, something I don’t think has ever been done before,” one supporter said.

Great Work! Listen today!
