Tenth Amendment Center: Michigan Action Alert: Help Pass HB4430, No Resources for Warrantless Surveillance

...from Tenth Amendment Center

The same week that Congress reauthorized and expanded NSA spying, the Michigan House passed HB4430 by a vote of 107-1, a bill to ban “material support or resources” for warrantless federal surveillance programs. (learn more here).  The bill is now in the Senate Judiciary committee where it needs to pass to move forward. Please take the following actions in support!

A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 3 p.m. in room 1300, Binsfeld Building, 201 Townsend Street.

1. Call the Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, Rick Jones. Thank him for scheduling the hearing. Firmly, but politely, urge him to support HB4430 and bring the bill up for a vote after the hearing. A phone call has 10xs the impact of an email.

Jones: (517) 373-3447

2. Call the rest of the committee members. Again, be firm, but polite. Urge each of them to vote YES on HB4430.

Tonya Schuitmaker – Vice Chair (517) 373-0793
Tory Rocca (517) 373-7315
Judy K Emmons (517) 373-3760
Steven M Bieda – Minority Committee Chair (517) 373-8360

If they say YES, be sure to thank them and, if possible, announce their committed YES vote to email and social media contacts. If they say no, politely ask them why.

3. Attend the committee hearing. A visible show of support at the meeting can have a significant impact on committee members. You can also testify at the hearing. If you are interested, contact the Committee Clerk at 517-373-5323.

4. Spread the Word. Share this information widely by Facebook, Twitter, email and other social networks.

Tenth Amendment Center: Modern Nullification: A Winning Policy

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center Nullification is dead. At least that’s the opinion of Duke University Law School professor Ernest Young . But despite this emphatic epitaph, Young sees great potential for nullification as a tool to limit federal power. In a paper published in the Case Western Reserve Law Review , Young makes a strong case for nullification, highlighting state efforts that have effectively nullified federal marijuana prohibition. So, how can this be? How can nullification be simultaneously dead and buried, yet still a serve as a powerful tool to check federal overreach? The answer lies in the two distinct definitions of nullification. While “legal” nullification as laid out by John C. Calhoun may be dead, Young argues that nullification through non-cooperation, as recommended by James Madison in Federalist #46, remains a powerful means to confront overreaching federal authority. He even cites the Tenth Amendment Center’s definition of nullification – “any act or s

Tenth Amendment Center: Colorado Committee Passes Bill to Repeal High-Capacity Magazine Ban

...from Tenth Amendment Center DENVER , Colo. (March 26, 2018) – Last week, a Colorado Senate committee passed a bill that would repeal state prohibitions on high capacity magazines as well as a magazine date stamp requirement. Passage would not only remove restrictions currently imposed on Coloradans, it would also foster an environment hostile to federal gun control. Sen. Owen Hill (R-Colorado Springs) introduced Senate Bill 52 ( SB52 ) on Jan. 10. The legislation would repeal the current law banning high-capacity magazines. Under Colorado state law, magazines that allow more than 15 rifle rounds or 25 shotgun shells are prohibited. Selling, transferring or selling such a magazine is a class 2 misdemeanor. Another statute requires a date stamp on all magazines produced in the state after 2013 when the law took effect. Senate Bill 52  would repeal both these statues, protecting the gun rights of Colorado residents. On March 19, the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs C
