More Signatures Still Needed for the Healthcare Freedom Amendment


 
All,
 
We are attempting to create some publicity... a bit of a spring thaw in the excitement pertaining to how close we are on getting the Healthcare Freedom Amendment on the ballot.  Grassroots shoe leather and pocket change have carried this effort over the 300,000+ level and we're closing in on the last 100-150k needed by July.
 
We're reaching the home stretch.  As part of the final "hoorah!"  we're:
  1. stirring the social media sites by asking everyone to replace their current Facebook / Twitter / 912Project profile picture to the one below.  Please participate and recruit all like-minded friends and family.
 
    2.  We are launching a publicity website on the "Ides of March" (3/15)  that will help raise money to pay for radio, television, Facebook advertising, etc.  It will also serve as a virtual momument to the grassroots heroes of Ohio who have "fought back against an oppressive federal gov't".      We're trying to reach (through advertising) those who don't yet know about the effort.
 
WE ASK THAT YOU SWAP OUT YOUR PROFILE PICS with the one above.... ask friends and family to do the same, and encourage everyone to logon on the 15th to see how we can finally cross the finish line and beat back the Obamacare Mandate.
 
Questions can be sent to me...

The Ohio Project

Stop the the Obamacare mandate in Ohio before it starts! The Ohio Project is a petition circulating effort to get a nullification of the Obama mandate into Ohio's constitution. This proposed amendment would protect Ohioans from being forced to participate in the Obama plan, or any other healthcare plan hereafter. The language of the bill can be read at theohioproject.com. Instructions are given for petition circulators and signing locations are also given at the site. We need 600,000 signitures! There is not much time left!

The Right Way to Amend the Constitution, part 14


Continue viewing this video at the following links:

part 2

part 3

This is part fourteen of an ongoing series of articles containing my proposals for amendments to the Constitution. For someone who claims so fervently to be a “Constitutionalist”, how is it that I can be so eager to change the Constitution? Well, there are several reasons. For one thing, I believe that after the Bill of Rights, much damage was done by some of the amendments that were added and the legitimacy of some of their ratifications are questionable. Secondly, the Constitution has been violated so much that the necessity of further amendments is needed to resolve the resulting problems. But this should be done extremely cautiously. My amendments are extremely unlikely to ever be introduced, much less ratified, but hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Here is my fourteenth proposed amendment (subject to revision):

Section 1: In all criminal prosecutions and Suits at common law, the right of the jury to judge the law and well as the fact of the matter shall not be infringed.

Section 2: The jury shall be informed of the right to nullify the law before any such case shall proceed.

Section 3: No Person shall be compelled against their will to serve on a jury and all jurors shall receive just compensation for performance of their duties.

Commentary on this proposed amendment:

This would help to keep big government from enforcing unjust laws. We live in a day and age when laws are passed by legislators who do not even read their content. I believe that we already have these rights, but since they are being violated, it is good to explicitly place them into the Constitution.
