An Open Letter to the Congress of the United States
The Vote Heard Around the World

Dear Congress,

I’m sure it was accidental when you declared war on the American people. I’m positive you didn’t intend to turn the citizens of the United States against their own government, to create such an atmosphere of distrust for elected officials that we wake up each day afraid to read the headlines and find out which new “laws” you’ve conspired to pass in the dead of night.

Strong words you say? Webster defines war as: a: a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism b : a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end.

But it’s our move now as citizens scramble to get the word out to the public. We’ll use every peaceful means possible to stop this takeover of our beloved country. There are thousands of journalists who weren’t bought off by this corrupt administration who will fight you in print, they’ll call you out and expose your tyranny and Gestapo tactics.

There are millions of citizens who will fight with marches, protests, and with conversations in their homes, offices or churches. They will expose you for every evil action you’ve taken and your unforgivable goal of ruling a once-free nation. And the states will fight back with the 10th amendment, by challenging the constitutionality of this monster with all its backroom deals to buy votes with our own money.

Finally, we’ll fight you at the ballot box and the voter fraud you’ve funded and the illegals you co-opt won’t be enough to save you from the people’s revenge. So make no mistake, we’ll fight your tyranny and we will win because there is a fatal flaw in your battle plan, you’ve underestimated the will of the American people and the spirit of freedom.

You’ve underestimated your enemy.

End the Corporate Tax in Virginia

We'll get by without it, if handled correctly.

Governor-elect McDonnell has already indicated a willingness to explore the energy reserves off the Virginia coast.

The extraction of energy from Virginias' reserves could potentially put us in the same position as Alaska.

Governor elect McDonnell should persue this option with the same energy and determination as he demonstrated during his campiagn.

This is a states' rights issue and the federal government has no business telling any state how to handle their natural resources.

VA Campaign for Liberty

United Conservatives of Virginia stands firmly in favor of any event which promotes state sovereignty and re-affirms the 10th Amendment as the Law of the Land. We have not read the specific legislation as of the date of this post and cannot comment on the merits or the language.

We do support HR 61.

Virginia Campaign for Liberty will host a lobby day and rally on two 10th Amendment bills on January 18, 2010 at the Capitol.

The event is scheduled for all day.

With all the federal power grabs coming down from Washington, the citizens of Virginia are calling for 10th amendment solutions in defense of our individual liberty and state's rights. There are some legislators who are working to push for a State Sovereignty Resolution and introduced HR61 at the end of the 2009 session that never made it out of committee.

While their effort is to be commended, we at Virginia Campaign for Liberty believe that a Declaration of Sovereignty Resolution poses certain dangers in that it allows bad legislators to clean their skirts with a piece of legislation that does nothing to make the 10th amendment more binding. It is our mission to put the 10th amendment, the law of the land, into practice. That's just what our two bills will do.

The first one is modeled after the Montana gun bill called the Virginia Firearms Freedom Act (VFFA). This bill serves as a 10th amendment challenge to the powers of Congress under the commerce clause that prohibits the federal regulation of firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition manufactured and retained in Virginia. Delegate Charles Carrico has agreed to carry the bill in the 2010 session of the General Assembly.

The second is the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act (VHFA). This bill is a 10th amendment challenge to the powers of the federal government to mandate federally approved healthcare by every citizen under the threat of steep fines and jail time. Delegate Bob Marshall has agreed to carry this important legislation in the 2010 session.
