Last month, our county commission (Carter County, TN) voted down (8 to 7) the 2nd Amendment Resolution model legislation that my husband and I had given the county mayor.
So, yesterday morning, my husband went to the monthly Commission meeting with a speech he had written about nullification. At first, they said he couldn't speak because the issue had already been defeated. After one of the commissioners said "I'd like to hear what he has to say," Joe gave his 2 minute presentation and to make a very long story a bit shorter...he got hearty applause from citizens and commissioners alike, they revoted and it PASSED 16 to 2.
He had never addressed a political meeting like this, stayed awake half the night worried about it, and I almost talked him out of going. But, ONE MAN, with the FACTS on Nullification, made a difference. Thank you, Tenth Amendment Center for the ammo!!!

Model Legislation that can be Introduced Locally
The following model bills have versions that can be used on a local level. Please contact your county commissioner, city or town council members, and even your local sheriff – and ask that they support the following legislation in your area.
Various local governments around the country are already passing similar resolutions and ordinances. Local legislative action is a great way to strengthen a statewide campaign against specific constitutional violations.
Liberty Preservation Act
This legislative package is a response to constitutional violations by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA) – primarily provisions that authorize indefinite detention.
2nd Amendment Preservation Act
To prevent federal infringement on the right to keep and bear arms; opposing all federal acts in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Privacy Protection Act
Bans the use of UAVs (drones) by law enforcement without first obtaining a warrant.
