June 2009: 'DON'T TREAD ON ME': Rebellion in America's Heartland

"For every action," Isaac Newton famously said, "there is an equal and opposite reaction." And right now, the Obama administration's actions - massively expanding government, socializing entire industries, plunging the nation into ruinous debt, snubbing allies while appeasing adversaries—are being met by a massive reaction in America's heartland.

This growing backlash on the part of outraged citizens, including an extraordinary rebellion by state legislators unprecedented in modern times, is chronicled in the June edition of Whistleblower magazine, titled "'DON'T TREAD ON ME': Rebellion in America's Heartland."

The issue documents how, from coast to coast, from "tea parties," "9-12ers," and public demonstrations to the burgeoning state sovereignty movement in legislatures across the land, Americans are coming together to take their country back.

"It's happening," says WND founder and editor Joseph Farah, "a rebellion in the heartland." In a stinging rebuke to the federal government and an affirmation of the Constitution's 10th Amendment, he says "dozens of state legislatures are recognizing they are under the thumb of central government tyranny and are saying NO to it with resolutions asserting their state sovereignty. It's a promising sign for Americans desperate to recapture the vision of liberty and justice shared by our founders."

Each monthly issue of Whistleblower, which many readers call "the world's best newsmagazine," focuses cover-to-cover on one crucial issue - usually an issue twisted beyond recognition or totally avoided by the establishment press. Whistleblower has recently adopted to a very attractive, glossy, color format. "If you haven't seen Whistleblower lately," says Farah, "you have no idea what you're missing."

Adds WND managing editor David Kupelian: "Many Americans feel disheartened and even desperate over the prospect of losing their country to socialism. The "DON'T TREAD ON ME" edition of Whistleblower provides much-needed hope and inspired direction."
