Give the Granite Staters some credit here, they have embraced Jefferson and rejected Hoover. Their proposal is actually lifted from Jefferson & Madison's Kentucky Resolutions of 1798.

This is the first step in getting the states to stand up to Leviathan and espousing the reasons WHY. A full transcript is coming later today.

Mike: There’s a – there’s good stuff happening out there today. Now, remember, this program has been the leader here, and we will continue to lead. The talk radio mafia will continue to show the way, shine the light, hold the flashlight, light the candle and what have you, to instruct our fellow members of the talk radio mafia what needs to be done and what direction we need to go. Which is our salvation. Our revolution begins and will end in the states, where it began. Our refuse [sic] is in the state governments. It is high time that we all got off our asses out there and demanded of our state legislatures that they uphold our state constitutions and that they uphold the compact that was made with the states, between the states, creating the general government in 1787 in the Constitutional Convention. And that they tell the federal government, and that they tell Nazi Pelosi, and that they tell Dear Leader Franklin Delano Hoover, and tell the feds, back off, buddy, you’re in unconstitutional territory, and we’re not going to do what you tell us.

I hold here in my hands – I hold here in my hands a concurrent resolution from the great legislature of the State of New Hampshire. [Yankee accent] Yeah, up there in the White Mountains up here in New Hampshire. We Mainers and New Hampshirites up here, we hate those neighbors to the south and the east of us, those massholes [sic]. We’re the real freedom fighters up here, and we have a resolution here in the New Hampshire House. Folks, now, sit down. Don’t sit down because you’re going to be alarmed. Sit down because you’re going to be encouraged here. You may want to go out and do a cartwheel across the parking lot when I read you this. House Concurrent Resolution 6.

[Mike Reading New Hampshire HCR-6] [End HCR-6]

You had me at Jefferson.

[HCR-6 continues ] [End HCR-6]

This is just beautiful.

[HCR-6 continues ] [End HCR-6]

I must read this to you. This will be Part 3 of Our Revolution Begins in the States. And apparently the State of New Hampshire is ready to lead the way.

[HCR-6 continues ] [End HCR-6]

I feel like I’m reading Founding Fathers stuff here. I feel like I’m reading something that came out of Congress in 1776 here, folks. This is just brilliant. I haven’t even gotten to the good part yet. Boy, you people in New Hampshire. You know, somebody asked me if I wanted to move to New Hampshire. They sent me a form. It’s the Refounding of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Refounding Commission, what’s it called? I’m trying to remember now. They want a bunch of conservatives to move to New Hampshire so they’ll have a solid voting block to kick the libs out. Yeah, they want a bunch of good-minded, founding father-loving, liberty-loving and respecting individuals to move into New Hampshire so all the smarmy lib scum that immigrated there from New York and Taxachusetts, fleeing the taxes that they themselves created, would be outvoted and wouldn’t have any power to ruin and totally screw up the State of New Hampshire. Granite State. Live Free or Die State. Home of the White Mountains, the presidential mountain range. I’m thinking about it, you people. You provide me with studio space, I’m there. I don’t know if I can take the winter, though. Now, listen. This is the good part. This is HCR-6, resolution in the New Hampshire legislature. Just got my hands on this last night.

[HCR-6 continues ] [End HCR-6]

They also, now, there’s three more pages of this. I’m not going to read you the rest of it. It’s beautiful. I encourage you to go – as a matter of fact, since this is not copyrighted material, I’m just going to download the damn thing, and I’ll post it on the front page at MikeChurch.com because every American ought to read this. Every lover of liberty, the Declaration of Independence, and individual rights and freedoms ought to read this. And we ought to all take this resolution, print a copy of it out, and don’t email it, don’t mail it, march over to our state representatives, our state senators, and our governor’s office, and hand it to them. And tell them this is what I want you to do. I want you to replace wherever it says New Hampshire, I want you to replace it with Louisiana. I want you to replace it with Florida. I want you to replace it with Illinois. Good luck with that. I want you to replace, well, then, let me see the states you could save your time with. Don’t go to California. Don’t bother with Taxachusetts, Vermont. Let me see here. Well, I don’t know. Vermont’s a secession state. They may want in on this.

Let’s see. You people in New York, you’re done. Massachusetts, you’re done. Maryland, you’re done, you’re out. Delaware, you’re done, you’re out. Rhode Island, you’re done, you’re out. Who else is in the USSA? We have not added a new state to the USSA lately. Remember, I play the Soviet national anthem, and we welcome a new state to the USSA? Illinois, you’re done, you’re out of the Union. Let me see who else. California, you’re out. Where am I going here? Washington State, you’re – no, Oregon State, you’re out. Who else is out? Maryland, you’re out. Pennsylvania, you’re out. Who else is? So the rest of you, take the – because you’re not going to get anywhere with those nitwits. They love being told by Congress what to do because they’re in on the scam.

This beautiful, folks. This is exactly what I was talking about. I bet you some members of the New Hampshire legislature listen to this program. I bet you some members of the New Hampshire legislature are fans of this show, and have taken my urging and the urging of you people that call this program, and have responded to “The Road to Independence” and the other documentaries that we have written, and my monologues, and what I have learned about this very subject, and they’re just taking it, and they’re putting it into words. But they have also called for a committee of conference and correspondence of every state to get together and to all propose similar resolutions. This is exactly what is needed. Congress can’t stop this. Nazi Pelosi can’t stop it. Lobbyists can’t stop it. Dear Leader Chairman Maobama can’t stop it. Labor unions can’t stop it. Environmentalist wackos, bark-humping weirdos can’t stop it. The ACLU can’t stop it. No one can stop this. This is the juggernaut here. This is a good day here.

Now, this was – who is sending me this? Is that you sending me this, the hearing is on the fifth? That’s you? Well, thank you. I’m now being told that the hearing on this resolution, this concurrent resolution, is on February the 5th at 1:00 o’clock in the State House in Concord. You people in New Hampshire, you’d better pick your – forget Congress and the Senate for the day. You’d better pick your phones up. You’d better let your state representatives know that you support this. Because your state is on the precipice of revolution here. Folks, we are witnessing history in the making here with this concurrent resolution. Now, I might also add – I might also add that the State of Oklahoma has a similar resolution. Back in the ‘70s the State of Texas had a similar resolution. The State of Alaska was sitting on a similar resolution. These are just the ones that I know. The State of Georgia at some time in the past proposed similar resolutions. We all need to get behind this. We’re all New Hampshirites now. All of us are New Hampshirites now, so get behind them. You people in New Hampshire, it’s Concurrent Resolution 6, and the hearing is on the 5th of February at 1:00 o’clock in the State House. You need to demand that your state representative go and be an advocate for his state because anyone that votes against this is voting with the socialists. They’re voting with the nationalists. They’re voting with the ultimate result of the Hamiltonians. They’re voting against the wishes and the fortunes of the State of New Hampshire as a free and independent state. Mike, you sound so encouraged. I am. This – I am encouraged. I should be encouraged. This is what I’ve been asking for. I’ve been dreaming about this day. John Taylor of Caroline is alive and well.

All right. I wanted to started the program off with this because it’s big news. As I said, the State of New Hampshire, I just read you the resolution, has a resolution before it that is going to do exactly what Mike Church, exactly what this show, and exactly what our founding fathers said needed to be done when the government because unresponsive, which is to declare that each state is free and independent, and it is sovereign, and it will not do what Congress tells it to do. We created Congress. We created the general government. It does what we tell it to do. Yes, and that means outside of Congress, that the check on Congress is the states. Congress acts as if there is no check other than elections. That’s not true. So I wanted to bring you that. I will post this front page of the website at MikeChurch.com. I look forward to you people getting busy with this and sending me reports back, especially you people in New Hampshire, and whoever the gentleman was from New Hampshire that alerted me to this.

Well, let’s see here. We have Representative Dan Itse, who is from the great State of New Hampshire, the great White Mountain State, the great Live Free or Die State, the great Granite State. Now, we were talking earlier about HCR-6 is introduced. I see Representative Itse’s name is on one of the sponsors. Representative Itse, how are you? Welcome to the Mike Church Show here on Patriot 144 and XM Satellite Radio.



Rep. Daniel Itse: Thank you for having me. I’m very honored to be here.


Mike: No, we’re honored to have you, sir. Who wrote this resolution, Representative Itse? Is this your work?

Daniel: Well, actually the majority of it is the work of one Thomas Jefferson.

Mike: Right. Yeah, I caught that part.

Daniel: The bill is derived from Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolutions, which he submitted after the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798.

Mike: Right.

Daniel: As a statement of the founders’ principle that it is the states who are in charge, and not the federal government; that it’s they who have the power to interpret the Constitution; and that the federal government has only definite delegated powers; and that any law enacted outside those delegated powers is null and void.

Mike: And so you just adopted this and put in the applicable parts the State of New Hampshire, then.

Daniel: Well, yeah. I took out the parts that were very specific to the Alien and Sedition Act.

Mike: Right.

Daniel: I changed “commonwealth” to “state.” There’s a conclusive list of acts which the general government has the power to punish, and I had to add to that slavery because of the 13th Amendment.

Mike: Right.

Daniel: You know, little bits of tweakings like that. And then the only thing I really added was the last resolution, last article of the resolution, which is that, if the general government transgresses our natural rights in certain definite ways, of which I give examples, that they have nullified the Constitution; and it’s therefore null, void, and of no force, and all sovereignty reverts to us, the states.

Mike: Now, let me ask you – Representative Dan Itse of the great State of New Hampshire on the phone with us, one of the co-authors of HCR-6. You guys are going to debate this, apparently, or it’s going to be introduced on February the 5th? Do we have that right?Daniel: Yes, February the 5th. It is going to be introduced into the state...

[Audio glitch]

Mike: ...representative. We have a saying here on this show, and we’ve been working on this for a couple of years, but that we’re little “r” republicans because we believe in republicanism, which is what you have, or what Kentucky Resolutions were all about.

Daniel: Absolutely.

Mike: And that our revolution, the end to leviathan is not going to come by sending different working parts to the federal government. It is to tell the states, the states are going to have to stand up and reclaim that which is theirs. And this is what you have done.

Daniel: Absolutely.

Mike: I’m blown away. I really am. I’m just shocked, number one, that somebody agrees with me on this, and that John Taylor of Caroline and that Thomas Jefferson’s views aren’t dead because they are the founding; and, number two, that you had the chutzpah to write this down and to get a hearing on it. I mean, this is a grand day for liberty. I’m proud of you.

Daniel: Well, I thank you very much. I mean, it’s kind of what I do every day up here. You know, we got petitions for redress of grievances re-recognized in the House of Representatives, which is part of our Constitution. I mean, we have a positive right of redress before the legislature. We just didn’t have the mechanism to have them introduced.

Mike: Now, is there anything that I can do> Would it behoove the movement for New Hampshire – what are you guys, New Hampshirites? What do you – I don’t want to say it wrong.

Daniel: I would say probably Granite Staters. What are we, New Hamp...

Mike: I like Granite Staters.

Daniel: Hey, when you refer to people from New Hampshire, what...

Unknown: [Indiscernible].

Daniel: We’re Granite Staters, I guess.

Mike: Granite Staters. So if I encourage thousands of listeners across the Granite State, Granite Staters, to call their state representatives and their – and other members of the New Hampshire government, that may be a little help to you.

Daniel: That would be of tremendous help, especially those on the committee, the state and federal relations committee, because they will be making a recommendation to the full House. And it’s actually that recommendation that we vote upon on the House of the floor. On the floor of the House, I’m sorry.

Mike: Well, you know that evil forces are going to be working mightily to stop this [laughing], with all the power that they have at their disposal to stop you.

Daniel: Yeah. This never stopped us yet.

Mike: Well, this is great. Well, our phones are ringing off the hook here. People...

Daniel: Okay.

Mike: Our people are saying that they are absolutely behind you, Representative Itse.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nine

A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and

Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and

Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and

Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the 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, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a General Government for special purposes, -- delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force; that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress; and

That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever; and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “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,” therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force; and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and, of right, appertains solely and exclusively to the respective States, each within its own territory; and

That it is true as a general principle, and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the Constitution, that “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;” and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, and were reserved to the States or the people: that thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use should be tolerated, rather than the use be destroyed. And thus also they guarded against all abridgment by the United States of the freedom of religious opinions and exercises, and retained to themselves the right of protecting the same. And that in addition to this general principle and express declaration, another and more special provision has been made by one of the amendments to the Constitution, which expressly declares, that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press:” thereby guarding in the same sentence, and under the same words, the freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press: insomuch, that whatever violated either, throws down the sanctuary which covers the others, and that libels, falsehood, and defamation, equally with heresy and false religion, are withheld from the cognizance of federal tribunals. That, therefore, all acts of Congress of the United States which do abridge the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, are not law, but are altogether void, and of no force; and

That the construction applied by the General Government (as is evidenced by sundry of their proceedings) to those parts of the Constitution of the United States which delegate to Congress a power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises, to pay the debts, and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States,” and “to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof,” goes to the destruction of all limits prescribed to their power by the Constitution: that words meant by the instrument to be subsidiary only to the execution of limited powers, ought not to be so construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument: that the proceedings of the General Government under color of these articles, will be a fit and necessary subject of revisal and correction; and

That a committee of conference and correspondence be appointed, which shall have as its charge to communicate the preceding resolutions to the Legislatures of the several States; to assure them that this State continues in the same esteem of their friendship and union which it has manifested from that moment at which a common danger first suggested a common union: that it considers union, for specified national purposes, and particularly to those specified in their federal compact, to be friendly to the peace, happiness and prosperity of all the States: that faithful to that compact, according to the plain intent and meaning in which it was understood and acceded to by the several parties, it is sincerely anxious for its preservation: that it does also believe, that to take from the States all the powers of self-government and transfer them to a general and consolidated government, without regard to the special delegations and reservations solemnly agreed to in that compact, is not for the peace, happiness or prosperity of these States; and that therefore this State is determined, as it doubts not its co-States are, to submit to undelegated, and consequently unlimited powers in no man, or body of men on earth: that in cases of an abuse of the delegated powers, the members of the General Government, being chosen by the people, a change by the people would be the constitutional remedy; but, where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy: that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact, (casus non foederis), to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits: that without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them: that nevertheless, this State, from motives of regard and respect for its co-States, has wished to communicate with them on the subject: that with them alone it is proper to communicate, they alone being parties to the compact, and solely authorized to judge in the last resort of the powers exercised under it, Congress being not a party, but merely the creature of the compact, and subject as to its assumptions of power to the final judgment of those by whom, and for whose use itself and its powers were all created and modified: that if the acts before specified should stand, these conclusions would flow from them: that it would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights: that confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism -- free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power: that our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go. In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. That this State does therefore call on its co-States for an expression of their sentiments on acts not authorized by the federal compact. And it doubts not that their sense will be so announced as to prove their attachment unaltered to limited government, whether general or particular. And that the rights and liberties of their co-States will be exposed to no dangers by remaining embarked in a common bottom with their own. That they will concur with this State in considering acts as so palpably against the Constitution as to amount to an undisguised declaration that that compact is not meant to be the measure of the powers of the General Government, but that it will proceed in the exercise over these States, of all powers whatsoever: that they will view this as seizing the rights of the States, and consolidating them in the hands of the General Government, with a power assumed to bind the States, not merely as the cases made federal, (casus foederis,) but in all cases whatsoever, by laws made, not with their consent, but by others against their consent: that this would be to surrender the form of government we have chosen, and live under one deriving its powers from its own will, and not from our authority; and that the co-States, recurring to their natural right in cases not made federal, will concur in declaring these acts void, and of no force, and will each take measures of its own for providing that neither these acts, nor any others of the General Government not plainly and intentionally authorized by the Constitution, shall be exercised within their respective territories; and

That the said committee be authorized to communicate by writing or personal conferences, at any times or places whatever, with any person or person who may be appointed by any one or more co-States to correspond or confer with them; and that they lay their proceedings before the next session of the General Court; and

That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:

I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.

II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government.

V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press.

VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and

That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and

That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State’s legislature.
