CCTA Press Release: Classes

February 12, 2014

Like our founders, the Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association (CCTA) believes that only a moral, virtuous, well-informed citizenry is capable of self-government. In order to foster the kind of citizens a self-governing society needs, CCTA is forming the following classes...

THE 5,000 YEAR LEAP

Summary - For 5,000 years people lived in much the same labor intensive way. Then the American experiment brought forth a society in which there was freedom and the opportunity to live independently. In the next 200 years, invention and creativity flourished. This course teaches the principles of freedom and the ideas our founding documents are based on. The class is based on the book with the same title written by W. Cleon Skousen.

The class is free and is suitable for adults and mature young people. The class meets each Saturday at 10 a.m.

NULLIFICATION

Summary - Only laws made pursuant to the constitution are the supreme law of the land. Federal laws that fall outside the purview of the U.S. Constitution are null and void and of no effect. States can and should interpose themselves between their citizens and unconstitutional laws. The class is based on the book of the same name by Thomas Woods, Jr., PhD.

The class is also free and is suitable for adults. The class meets each Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

GRAVE INFLUENCE

Summary - This study visits the work, writing, and beliefs of 21 radicals who, although dead, are still influencing us and the rest of the world. You will probably have heard of some (Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx). You may not know others (Alice Baily, Benjamin Bloom). This class is based on the book of the same name by Brannon Howse.

The class is free and is suitable for adults. The class meets each Tuesday at 2 p.m.

All classes meet at

Highland Park Christian Church

Carolina Avenue, Trent Woods

LOU CALLING: A Letter to Governor Perdue, Representatives Sanderson, Preston & Wainwright

Governor Perdue, Representatives Sanderson, Preston & Wainwright:
Can you explain to me why we, as a free Nation, need to put this unbridled authority in the hands of the government? We expect you to follow the actions of Rep. Daniel Gordon of the State of Rhode Island and uphold your oath of office for the citizens of North Carolina. The issue of NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is a bill drafted by tyrants and has no place in America.

Single state defies Obama detention plan--New law is 'repugnant to sensibilities' of founding principles

When Congress adopted and Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, alarms were raised over the possibility that it would allow the indefinite and rights-free detention of those who are called “belligerents,” even if they are American citizens.


While the argument over those provisions rages, one state lawmaker in Rhode Island has jumped into action to protect the danger he sees for residents of his state, proposing a resolution to exempt his constituents from sections of the federal law.

Rep. Daniel P. Gordon Jr. today told WND he has drafted a resolution, which is being circulated among the lawmakers even now, to express opposition to the sections of the NDAA “that suspend habeas corpus and civil liberties.”

“Sections 1021 and 1022 of the act, signed into law on New Years Eve of 2011, provide for the indefinite detention of American citizens by the military on American soil, without charge, and without right to legal counsel and right to trial,” he explained.

“Given the fact that the constitutions of Rhode Island and that of the United States are replete with guarantees of individual liberties, right to habeas corpus, and right to freedom of speech, the offending sections of that law are repugnant to the sensibilities of anyone that has a basic understanding of the foundation of this country,” he said.

The opinions on the legislation signed by Obama vary. Commentator Chuck Baldwin, who himself has been the target of smears by the Department of Homeland Security-related apparatus, explained the law, “for all intents and purposes, completely nullifies a good portion of the Bill of Rights, turns the United States into a war zone, and places U.S. citizens under military rule.”
