Tenth Amendment and Resolutions


Mike Rothfeld (Grassroots activist trainer) provided his take on Tenth Amendment resolutions.  Basically, he stated that:

1.  A resolution is a waste of time because it doesn't affect law or use of funds.
2.  A resolution can actually be dangerous because it allows politicians to sign something that doesn't affect law, but that they can use to crow about, and then blatantly ignore.
3.  Inserting tenth amendment language into legislation that affects law can be effective (for example, the recent Dangerous ID and Animal ID legislation).

Here's a good example of 10th Amendment legislation with teeth....

Local Groups

We would like to compile a list of active local Wisconsin C4L groups so that we can create a directory on the C4L Wisconsin site, if you are a part of a local Wisconsin C4L group please send me as much information as possible (Location, Group Name, Website, Email, Phone, Activities, # of members, etc) to: Todd.Welch@CampaignforLiberty.com

With this information we will all be able to more easily find local chapters where we live and work together as a group!

Faxing Legislators

Would you like to be able to fax your legislators to get them information that you think is pertinent or just to let them know what you think? http://faxzero.com/ allows for two free faxes a day, lets use this service to the best of its ability to convey or stances.

New York Special Election

There are three candidates in the race: A Republican, a Democrat and a Conservative Party candidate.

Although the voting will take place in New York, this race is very relevant to us here in Wisconsin, as this election could set the tone for the type of candidates for the 2010 election.

The backgrounds of the three candidates in this race can be found here: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=26874
