The chairmanship will give him a greater opportunity to speak about monetary policy, but there is much more that needs to be said about other issues. He will clearly reach far more people if he runs for president. And he needs to announce early enough that he will be included in all of the...
Bill of Rights PAC sounds too general. Many organizations talk about the Bill of Rights. Regardless of one's political affiliation, most people would probably claim (though often incorrectly) that they support the Bill of Rights, meaning that such a name would not clearly reflect the type of...
Almost all federal criminal laws are unconstitutional. For confirmation, read section 2 of Thomas Jefferson's 1798 Kentucky Resolutions at http://www.constitution.org/cons/kent1798.htm and compare to the text of the Constitution itself, which lists only four crimes as being under federal...
I agree. He should not run again in 2012 in the same congressional district. Ideally, he should run for state legislature if the composition of his legislative district(s) would allow him to run a competitive race. State Senate would be preferable, but State House would also be good.
Nullification has to be issue #1. If they don't believe in nullification (and I don't just mean filing federal lawsuits; I mean major, uncompromising acts of nullification), then they can't be counted on to do the work that really needs to be done.
I recommend using some of the principles from...
Tenther PAC
Tenth Amendment PAC
Sovereign States PAC (my top choice amongst those on my list, and I see that it was proposed elsewhere in this thread, also)
Nullification PAC
Don't Tread on Me PAC
What I'm describing is common knowledge for those who understand American constitutional history. I'm not going to sit here and type out a thorough explanation of it all for you; you can go look up some of the libertarian/conservative historical literature on the subject.
I am citing relevant...
The initial reason for which the Philadelphia convention was called was to amend the Articles; you are correct. However, the Constitution they drafted was not an amendment to the Articles. The delegates to the convention defied their mandate and created a new document to supplant the Articles...
The 14th was "ratified" by many southern states under military coercion, thus making it invalid. Tom Woods covered this in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.
Are you even paying attention to what you're debating? You claimed that there is no evidence that the legislatures ever "proposed any measures" (your words) to "dissolve or secede from" the union formed by the Articles. I responded by showing that your claim is inaccurate because the...
This is not technically true, seeing as the legislatures did call for the assembly of popular conventions to debate and vote on the formation of a new union by ratifying the Constitution (and hence, withdrawing from the union governed by the Articles).
However, even if what you are saying were...
The voting members of the RNC are the people who will actually decide if Steele gets another term. I believe that would be one committeeman and one committeewoman from each state, as well as each state chairman.
