Found you while "surfing" on YouTube. I wanna join because I love my country and I HATE TYRANNY!! I've been an NRA Life Member since 1967, and I believe EVERY word of The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights says, and I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!
It was via Alex Jones that I learned of the private nature of the Federal Reserve Bank and the cabal of international, criminal "banksters". Who, are responsible for financing just about EVERY war, coup d'etat, despotic dictatorship, etc., for at least the last 120 years or so. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! We gotta DIS-mantle the Transgressing Sexual Assailants of, and including the DHS before ANYBODY wakes up in a ("non-existent"-according to Steve Cohen) FEMA camp.
Is that a good enough reason?

Here's an article I ran across over at Alternet.org by some nitwit named Joshua Holland, followed by my subsequent attempt at straightening out the lads' muddled thinking...

Tea Partiers Introduce Some More Blatantly Un-Constitutional Legislation

The pace at which the Tea Parties' armchair Constitutional scholars are introducing blatantly un-Constitutional legislation is quite impressive.

Here's Ian Millhiser over at Think Progress with a run-down of what should be called Virginia's 'We Never Fought a Civil War Over This Crap Act':

In response to the landmark Affordable Care Act, numerous right-wing state lawmakers have introduced unconstitutional bills attempting to nullify this federal law. Earlier this week, however, the Virginia House of Delegates went even further, passing a sweeping nullification bill that directly conflicts with numerous Supreme Court decisions:

All goods produced or manufactured, whether commercially or privately, within the boundaries of the Commonwealth that are held, maintained, or retained within the boundaries of the Commonwealth shall not be deemed to have traveled in interstate commerce and shall not be subject to federal law, federal regulation, or the authority of the Congress of the United States under its constitutional power to regulate commerce.

It is all but certain that the Supreme Court will uphold the Affordable Care Act under its existing precedents, but this specific question has yet to reach the justices themselves. The Virginia House’s attempt to prevent the federal government from regulating locally produced goods, by contrast, is a direct assault on the judiciary. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that Congress does not simply have the power to regulate commerce that crosses state lines, it also has the power to regulate wholly intrastate matters that “substantially affect interstate commerce.”

The Virginia Legislature has pulled this stunt before. In 1956, Virginia lawmakers objected to a different Supreme Court decision — Brown v. Board of Education. Rather than acknowledging that they are bound by the Constitution, however, these lawmakers instead enacted a “resolution of interposition” claiming that they were “duty bound” to defy the Supreme Court

Will the Northern states be forced to once again invade and occupy Virginia and the other handful of states now rebelling against subsidized health-care?

First of all, this ENTIRE "Affordable Care Act" was based NOT on the desire to help Americans afford a trip to the doctor or hospital, but rather based upon corporate GREED and POLITICAL DECEPTION. Plain and simple. All during the presidential campaign of '08, BHO PROMISED "a new transparency" to government and to HIS administration in particular. NONE of which has happened since his inauguration. The ENTIRE 1000+ page bill was written BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, mostly by lobbyists from both "BIG PHARMA" AND the insurance companies. The MAJORITY of tax-paying, voting Americans REJECTED IT!! Plain and simple. For a slough of reasons. In particular the part about being "fined, and/or imprisoned" for non-compliance. To be ENFORCED by I.R.S. agents with badges AND guns. Speaking of the I.R.S., there was that part about having to file a 
Form-1099 with the I.R.S. EACH AND EVERY time you spent over $600.00 in the course of conducting your business. WHAT, pray tell, does having to file a Form-1099 with "the revenuers" have to do with my (OR ANYBODY ELSE'S) HEALTH CARE?!
But what REALLY gored my ox, burned my toast, chapped my hide, befouled my prop, and yanked my chain was when Speaker Lugosi announced ON CAMERA that (and I quote): "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what's in it." 
UNBELIEVABLE!! Until... You consider who said it... 
Thank you oh-so-much, "Madam Clueless". How in the hell did she get to be House Speaker? 

I propose a "new rule" for BOTH The House and The Senate. That is: "Before being allowed to vote on ANY proposed legislation, you must first take and pass (by 90%) a twenty question quiz on what you're about to vote on." This would accomplish two things. First, the voter would actually have an intimate knowledge of what it was they were about to vote on. Secondly, any proposed legislation would in all likelihood be shortened so as to be READABLE by both legislator and layman alike. I think it would go a long way in preventing debacles like what took place during the last Congress. 

Also, if they would REALLY, GENUINELY like to "reform" healthcare, how about STARTING with allowing insurance companies to offer their coverage "interstate" and not "intrastate". This would make obtaining coverage more of a free market issue, and thus competitive. When you have to compete in the marketplace, prices will naturally be lower for consumers. 
"Rocket science", it ain't...
