The wording of this amendment will cover all aspects of the tenth amenmdent and more. Georgia approved this amendment in 1962, and I am sure feels the same way today. freeland@libertyamendment.com, www.libertyamendment.org TO THOSE LEGISLATORS PLEADING THE TENTH IN GEORGIA:

But, this is definitely a good start. And, with enough feedback to legislators on a local level, we hope to move to the next step.

The main purpose of the bill seems to be to keep the federal government from forcing unfunded mandates on the states. The bill says nothing of funded mandates, which also violate the 9th and 10th Amendments. The bills seem to be saying, "you can give us mandates, just give us the money to cover them and everything will be alright". I wrote to the sponsors of the SC bill and asked them how they would protect their citizens from federal violations of the 9th and 10th Amendments that imposed no mandates on the states but did impact their citizens. I specifically used the example of plans to nationalize the health care system. There is absolutely no Constitutional authority for the Federal government to impose such a system but there is no language in either the GA or SC bills that would protect the citizens of those states from such a usurpation of the people's rights. The language of the bills appears to be driven by desire to not be forced to spend money the states may not have rather than a desire to protect the citizens of the states which is what they should do. If the states can't protect their citizens from Big Brother then these bills are just window dressing. I've only heard back from one of the sponsors who replied with his "special" e-mail address for like-minded constituents.
