Six Steps You can Take To Nullify Now

A call to action with a special emphasis for libertarians
Want to stop the sociopaths in Washington DC?
Ron Paul told you how. Judge Napolitano is on board. Tom Woods provides intellectual firepower to back it up.
And today, I’ll share six steps to get you started.
Obviously, it will take some work. But what should a liberty lover actually do?
March on DC? Lobby Congress? Support a campaign in the 2016 presidential election?
Answer: No. No. And, no.
RON PAUL’S ADVICE
Ron Paul said nullification would “reverse the trend and stop the usurpation of all the powers and privileges from the states to the federal government.”
The game-plan is right in front of you. It’s nullification.
That bears repeating: if you want to stop federal thugs, Ron Paul advises you to nullify.
I can’t think of a stronger endorsement for libertarians than this powerful statement from the man who brought the principles of liberty to the mainstream.
Think about it. Nullification isn’t just an interesting theory or some historical oddity for study. It’s a method Ron Paul himself endorsed as a path to “stop the usurpation of power.” That’s serious business, and a call for you to take action.

TAKE ACTION NOW
Here are some steps that you can start taking now. Not after the next election, and not next year. Not next month or next week. Today, not tomorrow. Right now.
1. Forget that the 202 area code exists. If you’ve spent days calling DC to support or oppose this or that, you’ve wasted your time. To advance liberty, forget DC – that pit of criminals. You will never, ever accomplish your goals there. Don’t call anyone there. Don’t send letters to reps or senators. Don’t support campaigns, or donate money to them. Ever.
2. Support all nullification bills. Any piece of state or local legislation pushing back on federal power, whether refusing compliance with so-called federal “laws,” or frustrating or preventing enforcement, is a good thing. As Thornton wrote on Mises.org, “This is important, because, if thanks to nullification, governments have to obtain acceptance, or at least acquiescence from subsidiary governments, rather than just imposing their dictates on them, they are more likely to act in a less threatening and harmful manner.”
3. Get on a jury. As Don Doig and Stewart Rhodes wrote, “Serving on a jury should be viewed as a form of liberty guerrilla warfare in the current ‘soft’ or cold war between the forces of liberty and the forces of tyranny.” Vote to acquit!
4. Vote with your Money. Market demand can overpower even the strongest government. Hundreds of marijuana shops flat-out defying federal power in one city alone proves it. The feds may rough people up from time to time, but they’re fighting a losing battle. As much as you can, support businesses, organizations and individuals willing to defy government power. Every dollar you spend helps grow the market and makes it stronger.
5. Just say YES! If they ask you to turn in your firearm, will you? When it comes time to comply with mandated insurance coverage, will you be obedient? Will DEA bans prevent you from planting hemp? Will you continue to comply with legal tender laws on gold and silver? Will you fight that next war because “it’s your duty?”
A “No!” to tyrants is a “Yes” to liberty.
