[LPmeck] Huntersville to Consider Stand Against Federalized Healthcare

[Christopher Cole]

Greetings, all,
The town board of Huntersville, my hometown, will consider a  
resolution on April 5th, asking the state attorney-general to join the  
lawsuit against the new federal healthcare mandates. I have sent the  
following letter to the mayor and all of the town commissioners.
Chris

Dear honorable mayor and commissioners,
I understand that Commissioner Jeter will be offering a resolution to  
the Board asking that the North Carolina Attorney-General join other  
states, including South Carolina, in pursuing a suit against the  
recent Federal takeover of healthcare for the general American public.

I write to encourage you to support that resolution, consistent with  
the traditional understanding of the role of the lower civil  
magistrate vis-a-vis the tyrannical acts of the higher magistrate.  
Fundamental to the American War for Independence was the traditional  
view, called "interposition" (http://tinyurl.com/ybgb87t), that a  
lower magistrate has both authority and a responsibility to protect  
his citizens from the tyrannical acts of higher magistrates.  
Therefore, to act on this resolution would be to follow a long-held  
and precious aspect of our liberty.

It is the same precept that has underpinned the so-called Sagebrush  
Rebellion (http://tinyurl.com/yzwx25y) in our Western states.

"Those who pretend they want to preserve freedom, while they are eager to fix
prices, wage rates, and interest rates at a level different from that of the
market, delude themselves. There is no other alternative to  
totalitarian slavery
than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general  
welfare than to
let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment,
rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than
private initiative and free enterprise."
