Nullification is not a radical idea. It is a legitimate tool against oppresion.

by David K. Williams, Jr. | 1:34 pm, January 15, 2013

Play along with me here…Suppose the federal government declares an emergency and decided it needed to put some soldiers up in private residences for a short time. Some owners of such private residences are not happy with this. They refuse to comply.T…

AUDIO: Penn Pfiffner, Rob Natelson on Mike Rosen Show

by Jon Caldara | 4:24 pm, August 20, 2012

This morning on 850 KOA’s Mike Rosen Show, two of our senior fellows joined Mike in studio to discuss the lawsuit against our Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR). Officially called Kerr v. Hickenlooper in federal court, the suit attempts to kill TABOR in Colorado because it allegedly violates our United States’ Constitution’s guarantee clause. The [...]

Romney Expected to “Reassure” NRA on Second Amendment

by Bob Adelmann | 3:04 pm, April 13, 2012

Romney might possibly be more dangerous and threatening to our Second Amendment rights than Obama, simply because people like NRA members will think, because of his soothing words of assurance, that the threat to their liberties will disappear if he is elected president.

Courts and Dept of Justice Agree: Videotaping Police is OK

by Bob Adelmann | 12:36 pm, February 13, 2012

The pen is mightier than the sword. And so, it appears, is the cellphone. The right to video tape government officials’ bad behavior has always been a citizen’s right. Now the courts and, amazingly, the Department of Justice as well, are recognizing and confirming the right. It’s showtime!

One Lonely State Representative Opposes Indefinite Detention

by Bob Adelmann | 5:52 am, January 17, 2012

Where is the outrage? Where is the anger? Where is the complaining? Is there just ONE politician with backbone stiff enough to say NO?

Oath Keepers Launches Effort to Recall Members of Congress

by Bob Adelmann | 5:19 am, January 4, 2012

In my opinion Stewart Rhodes is a remarkable man. He worked for Ron Paul, he served in the military, he wrote a column for S.W.A.T. magazine, and sports a law degree from, of all places, Yale! All that aside, the man is fearless. This effort should serve his organization, and the fight for freedom, well.

Bill of Rights Day: Celebration or Mourning?

by Bob Adelmann | 5:57 am, December 19, 2011

This was hard for me to write as there isn’t much good news. Both the Democrats and the Republicans overwhelmingly have voted to abrogate our rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. That’s correct: our own elected representatives, who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, are now guilty of treason by ignoring it and imperiously mandating controls and limitations on citizens never dreamed of in our founders’ worst nightmares.

Institute for Justice: Licensing Tour Guides is Unconstitutional

by Bob Adelmann | 12:56 pm, December 18, 2011

The more I read about IJ the better I like them. I’ve heard one of their attorneys speak about one of their cases, and was impressed. When I called the lead attorney in the Tait case (see the article) he was cordial to a fault, and he graciously allowed me to quote him in the article. Sorta changes your mind about attorneys, doesn’t it?

Independence Files Amicus Opposing TABOR Lawsuit

by Jon Caldara | 8:06 am, September 8, 2011

Governor Hickenlooper and Attorney General John Suthers have teamed up to challenge the lawsuit against our Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR). I’ve discussed earlier why this lawsuit isn’t just about bringing down TABOR. It’s about trying to bring down the whole citizen initiative process. To help the cause, the Independence Institute filed an amicus brief [...]

Closing Windows on Taxpayer’s Rights

by Vande Krol | 12:12 pm, May 24, 2011

The Constitution of the United States of America.What a powerful opening statement for a blog.  Embodied in that document is the reason the United States has led the world in progress, affluence, and compassion for over 200 years.  It is beca…
