ACTION NEEDED: Governor LePage’s Special Session
http://maine.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/08/action-needed-governor-lepages-special-session/
Multiple media outlets are now reporting that Governor Paul LePage is planning to call the Legislature back for Special Session to enact legislation. He would not, however, go into specifics.
Mike Tipping, author of the Tipping Point column at the Bangor Daily News, has the recording and transcript posted in his article, found here.
It is unclear at this point whether or not the focus is nullification. But we’re not going to wait and see if it is. We need people to spread the word about the possibility and contact the Governor’s Office about nullifying Obamacare. We can’t wait until after the November elections and the uncertain future beyond that. Even if President Obama becomes a one-term president, former Governor Romney would not take office until January of next year. Further to the point, the Republican presidential candidate’s “repeal and REPLACE” rhetoric does not ensure the specter of Obamacare will not live on.
In the spirit of the Jeffersonian tradition and living up to Maine’s leadership among states, we must encourage the Governor to do what is right. When the federal government exceeds the boundaries of the compact, the Constitution, the rightful remedy is nullification, according to Thomas Jefferson. Maine lived up to what James Madison said was it’s duty, by in 2007 interposing and refusing compliance with the REAL ID Act, a privacy nightmare and terrible financial burden upon the States.
Our time to act is here. Below is the link to the Suggestions and Ideas form on the official website of the Governor. We need you to fill it out and urge Governor LePage to make nullification of Obamacare a focus of this Special Session, and then spread the word. We need everyone doing this.

Let’s do this, Maine!
