Why not think big? It takes the same effort as thinking small.
In Texas, there is an effort underway to find and elect a constitutionalist for governor in 2010. In previous articles I had suggested that Ron Paul consider running, but that seems unlikely due to his focus on federal and international issues like the US Fed and US foreign policy - so we are looking for someone else. The Blog for that effort is here: http://texasgovernorsearch.blogspot.com/ <!--break-->
We all know we don't have much time. As Obama's and the media's efforts to conceal his true place of birth and history prove, the next white house occupant will make the US government even more secret and unapproachable than it became under the last three administrations. Obama's Senate Bill 2433 threatens to make the US a United Nations satrapy and his economic team proves that the same old-guard crowd of movers and shakers who controlled every president since Woodrow Wilson are still in charge.
So, why not duplicate the Texas effort in every state of the Union and throw a couple of monkey-wrenches into his gearbox?
State governors can be very powerful, once they understand they do not have to dance to the whistle of Washington DC. They can make their state's people and legislatures remember their original sovereignty. They can push their legislatures to utterly block unconstitutional federal would-be "mandates". They can teach their legislatures powerful lessons about their state constitutions by vetoing every unconstitutional law that comes before them. Governors can make them realize that constitutions are laws that control governments, not people. So what, if the legislatures manage to override their constitutionally oriented governor's veto every now and then? Make the legislators realize that violating their oaths of office has consequences! So far, nothng and nobody ever reminds them of that fact.
Especially states that have already blocked implementation of the Real ID Act or the 'Patriot' Act are fertile ground for this effort. This could be done under a third party banner, as independent candidates, or as efforts to gain the nomination of one of the wings of the two-faced majority party. Freedom Activists in every state should consider this very seriously. As Matt Hawes has correctly noted in his post titled "Thoughts for the Future" on the home page of the C4L site, enthusiasm and energy only come about when the goals are big, when you're shooting for the stars.
