Attorney General of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, demonstrates the move toward states' rights and gives me a lot of hope. Go, Ken!
A few salient points made during his talk:
"Americans, Virginians, are waking up to what's happening to their country."
"Federalism is reemerging."
The Virginia case against forcing people to engage in commerce by buying health care is "about liberty not health care."
"The only science [of global warming] is political science."
"It is a huge economic advantage [to be a right to work state]."
"Freedom is breaking out everywhere."
On the lawsuit against EPA. "We are pushing back on the Federal Government on other fronts....When I send [the EPA] a letter saying 'If you do this, I'm going to sue you,' they believe me."
"[Federal Government agencies] have violated their own federral laws numerous times....the NRLB, the Office of Surface Mining, the EPA, the EPA, the EPA over and over."
"They've showed utter disdain for the one institution...that is supposed to be the neutral referee of all these contests, [the courts]....For the President of the U.S. and his administration to so completely and across the board attack the rule of law itself is unprecedented in our lifetimes....It's hard to overstate the historical importance of that."
"When the Founders set up the federal government, it wasn't the states they were worried about. And, boy, were they right!"
"The long-term battle is changing hearts and minds."
Pray for Ken and his wife Tiero. They have seven beautiful children so is it any wonder he gets choked up at the end of this powerful presentation when he quotes Ronald Reagan about the legacy we will leave our children.
God bless you, Ken, and may Virginia lead the second revolution to free America from a tyranical government. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
