I’m talking about resurrecting the purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and cleansing from the system the Federal governments intrusion into the affairs of each state thus restoring to it’s proper place the Tenth Amendment which has lost all meaning under our present situation. This is the incremental loss of liberty I talked about earlier.

Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people

I fully realize to many it is atavistic to quote the Constitution or reference the notes on it (Farrand) , the Federalist papers etc. but brother we are a long way from original intent and the nexus of all power is now the Federal Government. That was not meant to be.

Let us begin with the tyrants.
