COME TO 5/7 CIA MEETING!

Our next CIA meeting will be held Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 6:00 pm at Spurlock's Restaurant, 721 Main Street, Lafayette. For those who are interested in eating dinner, we will be ordering from their standard menu.

There will be lots of stuff to discuss at this meeting. I am sure you will agree that it is impossible to keep up with our lawmakers and their shenanigans, but we are sure trying! Thanks to the Central Indiana Coalition of Tea Parties, of which Citizens in Action is a member, great strides are being made with getting the attention of our state and national lawmakers. Our meeting Tuesday night therefore will center around those activities, which include meetings and communication with lawmakers on various bills, the KrisAnne Hall Constitution Seminar, and the anti-Common Core rallies, to name a few.

 It is becoming perfectly clear that unless the States (interchangeable with “We the People” in the Constitution) step up and push back against the Feds, we’re toast. We all have to be aware and ready to help. So come join your fellow patriots and hear what’s happening and what you can do!

Bill of Rights/Constitution Seminar

Greetings, Fellow Patriots!

Our Constitution is under attack on many fronts!  How well can you defend your Constitutional rights? 

We urge you to take advantage of an upcoming opportunity to learn how you can become an effective communicator of the Constitution from nationally-known expert KrisAnne Hall.  This Bill of Rights/Constitution Seminar will be held Saturday, May 4, 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, at the Montgomery County 4H Fairgrounds, 400 Parke Avenue in Crawfordsville.  Your only cost will be $7.00, which includes a Subway sandwich/chips lunch, bottled water all day, and a pocket U.S. Constitution.  This event is sponsored by the Montgomery County Tea Party and the Crawfordsville 9/12 Project.  Doors will open at 8:00 am. Tickets will be available at the door.

KrisAnne Hall is an author, former prosecutor, Constitutional attorney, disabled U.S. Army veteran, a Russian linguist, a mother, and a pastor's wife. A true patriot, she travels around the country educating citizens about the U.S. Constitution and will inspire you to continue the fight to return America to greatness!

STAND UP FOR YOUR GUN RIGHTS!

We do not yet have details about the planned national Day of Resistance on February 23, but gun shows are where the action is happening right now...and they are everywhere!  We want to alert you about two gun shows in the Lafayette area in the next couple weeks that we are encouraging folks to attend as a public show of support.

 

 

The first gun show is this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February 1-3 in K-Mart Plaza on State Road 38 East.  The second one is at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, February 9 and 10.  We found out about the K-Mart Plaza event too late to reserve a table, but we were successful in getting space at the February 9 and 10 event at the Fairgrounds!  We would like to have volunteers at our table both February 9 and 10 for as much time as you can spare.  If you would like to volunteer or want more details, please contact Mike Morris, who is coordinating this event michael.g.morris@comcast.net  You will also be able to sign up at our February 5 meeting.

Come to 2/5 CIA Meeting!

Our next CIA meeting will be held Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:00 pm at Spurlock's Restaurant, 721 Main Street, Lafayette. For those who are interested in eating dinner, we will be ordering from their standard menu. 

 

 

There is a great deal of grassroots activity happening around the state by like-minded individuals and groups regarding gun control and nullification of the Affordable Care Act.  Come and find out what is happening and how you can get involved!

   

DAY OF RESISTANCE FEBRUARY 23!

While Barack Obama is calling for Americans to give up their freedom, their rights, and their guns, there is a movement building around the country to call on Americans to resist. 

 

http://www.rightwingnews.com/special/2232013-will-be-a-day-of-resistance/

 

It will be a Day of Resistance on February 23 where gun owners and patriots can peacefully gather and show Barack Obama, the media, and the knockkneed Republicans in Congress that we may have lost a battle last November, but we have not lost the war. Don’t meekly give up your 2nd Amendment rights when you can stand with us and RESIST!

 

Over the next few weeks, look for rallies to be announced, big name conservatives to help spread this idea, and Tea Partiers all across the country to step up to the challenge. We will keep you informed as this Day of Resistance takes shape!

 

SCOTUS, Nullification, the Press and Senator Boots

We have printed below Michael Morris' letter to the editor in the Journal and Courier:

Sirs/Madams,
            Lost in your editorial excoriation of Senator Boots and his pursuit of Nullification are many Constitutional and historical facts:

Article I Section 8 and the subsequent Amendments to the US Constitution limit the authority of the Federal Government to specified functions.  That is why the wording isn’t “any thing Congress wishes to do.”
 
Article VI, Clause 2 (the so called “Supremacy” clause) applies only to the areas in which the Federal Government has authority.  “…This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;”… Therefore, laws made OUTSIDE of the Constitution are not “supreme.”

Amendment X: “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”.

Article III does NOT give SCOTUS the power to determine “Constitutionality.”  That they grabbed that power in 1803 (Marbury v Madison) and the States let them get away with it is our problem now.  (See: Federalist Papers 79-83 by Hamilton.)

There is a long history of SCOTUS rulings that were eventually reversed by SCOTUS itself, later, or by Amendment.   Dred Scott v. Sanford and “Separate But Equal” (Plessy v Ferguson) are just a couple of glaring errors.  Cooper v. Aaron will be one of those in the future.
 
The Founders intended that the States have final say on what the Federal government does.  Article V acknowledges that the States put this Republic together; they can take it apart if they choose.

It's sad your paper doesn't seem to care about that.

Michael Morris

No Dinner Meeting November 6

Dear Citizens in Action/Lafayette Tea Party members,

Because of the election, there will be no dinner meeting this Tuesday, November 6, at Spurlock's. Many of us will be working the polls that day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We want to thank all of you for your support and hard work over the past few months. Many of you have walked many miles canvassing neighborhoods, written hundreds of postcards in support of Richard Mourdock, gathered and signed petitions against Obama care,  and attended endless election-related meetings. Many of you have offered your quiet support and words of encouragement. To all of you, we offer our heartfelt gratitude.

In these last few hours before the election, please stay safe and resolute in the knowledge that we have done all that we can.

Sincerely,

Citizens in Action

Just Vote No! to the Retention of Justice David
