In my book, The Third Revolution, it's the election (that would be the people's input) of a radically-libertarian state legislature that gets the nullification ball rolling. The fed's response -- as you suggest -- was to cut off the federal money. <br /><br />But, that was a novel and, like yourself, I'm not holding my breath...<br /><br />~ AFLAnthony F.

I believe that comes from each State's legislatures. And because of "follow the money", I don't think any State is going to cut themselves off from receiving Federal Money (our money) The State of Arizona has to reword one of it's laws so they don't lose 130 million dollars in federal funds. I know they are going to amend the language and take the money. As long as government makes money available to the States, secession is not going to happen........Americans are not that strong. I wish it weren't true, but even 45% of the population wanting secession is not the majority and even though it sounds like a good course of events to end this insanity, I don't think it will happen in my lifetime and I'm 60 years old.nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088960282758228896noreply@blogger.com
