There is now a NEW political party for conservatives!!

The New Federalist Party is currently raising funds in order to file with the Federal Elections Committee.

Our Mission

We shall ever seek to provide a deep and profound commitment to the founding principles of The United States of America. We shall commit to uphold and defend the Constitution without regard for any other ideology, premise or belief. We shall commit to the empowerment of each individual State, that they may again have sovereign control to the laws, citizenry and of the land and seas within their borders as is their right under the 10th Amendment.

We shall seek to establish a more efficient, and smaller Federal Government to uphold the Constitution, provide to the states that which is the responsibility of the Federal Government to do so, and protect the citizenry of this nation by use of the armed forces as proper and with complete regard for Posse Comitatus as the definitive answer for military action within the borders of our nation.

We shall seek to repeal and stand against all laws, amendments, and acts that are in conflict with the principles and ideologies of The United States of Americas’ founding; including those principles shown to exist by The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

It  is to the citizenry of this nation to be the change in which they wish to see. For more than three generations the Federal Government has over-stepped its limitations and usurped powers long before so recognized as those reserved to the States and the People. Many cry-out for violent means and methods. We believe that these members of the citizenry are simply overly burdened and frustrated at the failures and usurpations of those rights inalienable to the citizens of this nation.

Many had hoped that certain movements within our nation would begin to change the tide. Those movements unfortunately showed themselves to be just as fruitless and as willing to cherry-pick The Constitution as those we seek to remove from office means of installing our own candidates.

Your donations are precious to us. This is a volunteer organization and not a single individual will receive a single dime. It is time we give this nation and its people a viable third option on the ballot. So we ask that you please donate what you can spare.

The end of the constitution?

Two anti-federalist men, Brutus (aka Robert Yates) and George Clinton, seem to have correctly prophesied the demise of the United States of America as a constitutional republic.

Were they right?

What really happened to the U. S. Constitution

Over the course of the nation’s history, the constitution has been turned upside-down, Michael Greve argues in this provocative book. The Constitution’s vision of a federalism in which local, state, and federal government compete to satisfy the preferences of individuals has given way to a cooperative, cartelized federalism that enables interest groups to leverage power at every level for their own benefit. Greve traces this inversion from the Constitution’s founding through today, dispelling much received wisdom along the way.

The Upside-Down Constitution shows how federalism’s transformation was a response to states’ demands, not an imposition on them. From the nineteenth-century judicial elaboration of a competitive federal order, to the New Deal transformation, to the contemporary Supreme Court’s impoverished understanding of constitutional structure, and the “devolution” in vogue today, Greve describes a trend that will lead to more government and fiscal profligacy, not less. Taking aim at both the progressive heirs of the New Deal and the vocal originalists of our own time, The Upside-Down Constitution explains why the current fiscal crisis will soon compel a fundamental renegotiation of a new federalism grounded in constitutional principles.

We Should Accept the Supreme Court’s Invitation to Check and Balance Washington, D.C.

Rarely does a unanimous Supreme Court announce a sea change in the balance of power between the states and the federal government. But nearly a year ago, on June 16, 2011, the Court did just that. In Bond v. United States, the Court effectively extended an invitation to strategic lawmaking and litigation under the Tenth Amendment. Constitutionalists should accept the Court’s invitation.

Nick Dranias
Bond v. United States, Federalism, Tenth Amendment:
...the Court’s decision in Bond did not come a moment too soon. As much as we want a strong and vigorous national government, the goal of restraining and moderating its power is more important than ever. Anyone—conservatives and liberals alike—can see that Washington has no idea how to keep its own house. And yet, Washington increasingly insists on telling the American people and the states how they should keep theirs. This concentration of power is not only unconstitutional, it is palpably unwise and dangerous. Citizens need to use every existing constitutional tool to refocus Washington on matters of truly national concern—like getting a handle on the runaway national debt. Otherwise, the federal government will eventually dictate our most important and intimate choices in life. Fortunately, Bond finally gives us the jurisprudence we need to check and balance Washington, D.C.

Republicans get balls...finally!

Republicans are so determined to stop what they say is abusive and unlawful expansion of the federal government under President Obama that they are willing to abdicate power to the states to do it.

Taking its cue from the Bill of Rights, the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative House Republicans, says that the 10th Amendment dictates that initiatives such as the health care reform law and other massive government programs are the business of state governments, not Washington.

So the RSC this week announced that it had formed a 10th Amendment task force to help "usher in a new era of federalism" and to work to disperse power from Washington back to regions, states and local governments.

And from Dr. Jack Wheeler [ToThePointNews.com]
Other folks to keep your eye on is the collection of very heavy hitters with very deep pockets organized as the Coalition for Responsible Regulation (CRR). They have banded together to spend whatever it takes on the savviest Washington law firms to tie the EPA and its greenie supporters like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club into legal knots.

Here is one of their legal challenges to the EPA (it's worth reading entire). There will be plenty more. As Greenpeace is warning its members, the CRR is "powerfully organized and rich. They have all the tools and all the lawyers, and they are going to do all they can to stop carbon regulation."

The coming Obama backlash

Lawmakers in 20 states move to reclaim sovereignty
Obama's $1 trillion deficit-spending 'stimulus plan' seen as last straw

NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.

Were the Anti-Federalists Right?

What if the Constitution was not passed? What if the excesses noted caused our Founding Fathers to write a "tighter" document, that did not allow for government to run the business of the country?

Would we still have fought a Civil War or the World War’s.

Would we have Social Security or Medicare? Would we be a world power or a third war, balkanized nation? Would we be a nation

More importantly, why isn’t this taught in our schools, so we have a better understanding about the founding of our nation? Are they afraid we would question the current direction of the nation?
