Congratulations, we have arrived!<\/p>\n

This was FRONT PAGE in yesterday’s New York Times<\/a>, a testament to all that we have done and all that we are doing:<\/p>\n

Whether it’s correctly called a movement, a backlash or political theater, state declarations of their rights – or in some cases denunciations of federal authority, amounting to the same thing – are on a roll.<\/p>\n

Gov. Mike Rounds of South Dakota, a Republican, signed a bill into law on Friday declaring that the federal regulation of firearms is invalid if a weapon is made and used in South Dakota.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Wyoming’s governor, Dave Freudenthal, a Democrat, signed a similar bill for that state. The same day, Oklahoma’s House of Representatives approved a resolution that Oklahomans should be able to vote on a state constitutional amendment allowing them to opt out of the federal health care overhaul..<\/p>\n

“Everything we’ve tried to keep the federal government confined to rational limits has been a failure, an utter, unrelenting failure – so why not try something else?” said Thomas E. Woods Jr., a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a nonprofit group in Auburn, Ala., that researches what it calls “the scholarship of liberty…”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m only posting four paragraphs for the sake of keeping the citation neat, but you really must read the whole article to take in the long list of achievements we’ve made all over the country. <\/p>\n

Yes, Thomas Woods was quoted on the front page of the New York Times. Goodbye, fringe.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for making this whole endeavor worthwhile.  It truly is an exciting time to be alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
