Federal "Permission"?

Post by pritchet1 »

Michael Boldin writes up some core beliefs of the 10th Amendment Center;

There are a few core beliefs that guide me in everything I do as the founder of the Tenth Amendment Center

Rights are not “granted” to us by the government – they are ours by our very nature, by our birthright.
ALL just political authority is derived from the people – and government exists solely with our consent!
We the people of the several states created the federal government – not the other way around!
The Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that which has been delegated by the people to the federal government in the Constitution – and nothing more.
The People of each State have the sole and exclusive right and power to govern themselves in all areas not delegated to their government.
A Government without limits IS A TYRANNY!
When Congress enacts laws and regulations that are not made in Pursuance of the powers enumerated in the Constitution, the People are not bound to obey them.
These seven items – are what establish the proper role of government under the constitution. But sadly, an honest reading of the constitution as the founders and ratifiers gave it to us makes clear that MOST of what D.C does today is NOT authorized by the constitution.
