New York, New York – April 29th, 2009 - The National Leadership Team
of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition
(www.nationwideteapartycoalition.com) today accepted
President Obama's invitation "to have a serious conversation about
how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long
term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.”

The invitation was extended by the President at a Town Hall Meeting
held in Arnold, Missouri today
(as reported at Politico).
Michael Patrick Leahy, a member of the National Leadership Team of
the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, said " We want to broaden the
scope to address the President's runaway march to socialist-statism,
and the rampant across the board irresponsible spending he is
promoting with his $787 Billion Stimulus Plan and his $1 Trillion
Annual Deficit, his takeover of General Motors, Chrysler and the
Banks "

Kellen Giuda, organizer of the New York City C Tea party attended by
12,000 and of Parcbench (http://www.parcbench.com) said, “I think a
constructive dialogue with the President would be a great
opportunity for him to acknowledge that, yes, many Americans have a
problem with the way Washington is handling our taxpayer dollars and
also that we are concerned about health care and social security
reform. I am happy he is open to a discussion. The Tea Parties are
protesting against fiscal irresponsibility and any dialogue we can
have will hopefully bring a better public understanding of our
country's finances. Health care and social security reform is a
large concern to us."

The National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition
includes 25 of the more than 900 local organizers of the April 15,
2009 Tax Day Tea Parties held across the country, which were
attended by more than 1 million Americans. Members of the National
Leadership Team includes Judson Phillips, organizer of the Nashville
Tea Party attended by 10,000, James Dickey, organizer of the Dallas
Tea Party, attended by 5,000, and JoAnn Abbot, organizer of the
Washington, DC Tea Party attended by more than 3,000.

The Bill of Federalism: 10 Amendments to be Proposed to the States for Ratification

Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University sets forth a bold new proposal:

The Bill of Federalism: 10 Amendments to be Proposed to the States for Ratification.

You can read this draft document in full when it is posted within the next 24 hours at the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition website.

The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition is providing support and assistance to Professor Barnett as he reads and reviews public comments on The Bill of Federalism.

We anticipate a final version of The Bill of Federalism will be completed within 60 days.

We encourage all citizens who are interested in the future of our republic, and who which to stop our slide into socialism, to comment on this document, and to enlist their friends and neighbors in this effort.

Upon completion of the final version of The Bill of Federalism, we will encourage selected state legislators to introduce a bill to petition Congress to Convene a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of passing The Bill of Federalism, thereafter sending it to the states for ratification.

If 2/3 of the states petition Congress to hold a Constitutional Convention, Congress must convene one. Alternatively, Congress may pass The Bill of Federalism on its own, and submit it to the states for ratification.

Upon ratification of The Bill of Federalism by 3/4 of the states, after passage by either the Congress or a Constitutional Convention, it will become part of the United States Constitution.

Professor Barnett will discuss his draft of The Bill of Federalism with all 26 members of the National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition LIVE on Pajamas TV at 6pm EDT, 3pm PDT, this Monday, April 27.
