SEND THIS BLOG TO 10 PEOPLE AND THEM TO 10 AND SO ON TILL ONE MILLION PEOPLE GET IT.

LETS ELECT CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTARIANS TO THE US HOUSE AND US SENATE
WHO WILL IN TURN RECALL AND OUST FEDERAL JUDGES WHO POINT THE GUNS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UPON THE STATES FOR NOT COMLYING WITH THEIR MANDATES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOISTED UNLAWFULLY UPON THE STATES.

The 10th amendment makes it clear that only a handful of custodial duties are assigned to the Congress and that the innumerable other objects are to the sovereign states.

Prinz v. United States (95-1478) 521 U.S. 898 (1997) states:
“the conferral upon Congress of not all governmental powers, but only discreet enumerated ones.” The states or other political subdivisions, “are not subject to federal direction.”

Federalist Paper #39 states, “…the local and municipal authorities from distinct and independent portions of supremacy, no more subject, with their respective spheres, to the general authority (federal government) than the general is subject to them within its own sphere.”

In other words, the federal government has no more authority to impose its cap and trade mandates on the sovereign states; their health care mandates on the sovereign states than Russia has to impose the same upon our sovereign states.
Our only problem is that the federal judges will point the guns of the federal government on our sovereign states for not complying with their illegal encroachments of our sovereignties.

Marchetti v. U.S. 390 U.S., 39, 57 states: “If the exercise of a constitutional right can become the cause for imprisonment, the Constitution has beennullified and there is no security from omnipotent government.”

YES WE CAN. Sound familiar? We can elect an entire Congress of Constitutionally Libertarian US Reps and US Senators who will then in turn fire all of these federal judges replacing them with constitutionally responsible ones and therefore recapturing our liberties and our rightful sovereignties without any violence. WE MUST DO THIS SOON.

Send the word out and organize to take back our sovereignties. Thank you

THANK GOD American's are FINALLY opening their eyes, standing up and speaking out. If not, I am sure you will see the country you live in, as we know it will cease to exist. This is not time to sit back and think that others are going to do the job of writing to the proper people; it is YOUR DUTY to do this and NOW. Look up who your representatives are and write to them, tell them of your concerns, the more they hear the people up rise, the more they will listen and know we are serious.

I noticed several states that had nothing going, if you know of anyone who lives in one of these states, family, friends, a business, contact them and encourage them to speak up. You must take a few moments out of your busy day. If you are lucky enough to have a job, a home to live in, perhaps when you sit around your table to eat with your family, while you have a quiet picnic in a state park, as you watch your children play freely in their yard or come home from school, perhaps you are being well taken care of in a hospital (pre-Obama health care reform), whatever it is you are grateful for, use this as your incentive to not sit quietly. God gave us a voice for a reason, He gave us a will to know right from wrong and to stand up against wrong, to fight for justice. Even if you don’t believe in God, can you sit there and not believe in something greater than yourself? Something that is for the good of all? Something that is for the good of someone besides Obama and the Feds?

I have so many in my family who are in the military and who have fought for generations to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave. It would be an insult to them to sit back now and watch what is happening. It would be a crime against our children and grandchildren to realize what kind of world we are going to be handing them and not at least try to stop it.

Our Military goes out to fight for the safety of our country, for people they have never even met. Would you be willing to lay down your life for your mate, your child, your parents, your neighbor? Think about it as you sit in your home on your computer reading this in peace and quiet but know the turmoil that surrounds you. Do NOT be the frog in the pot of water on the stove who’s body kept adjusting to the water and it got hotter and hotter until it didn’t realize it was boiling to death.

We need to show not only everyone else but I think ourselves again just how strong we are as a people and why we are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE. Get those fingers typing to your state reps and send out mass mailings to friends and families.

Depending on how old you are some of you might remember the phrase used when we were first learning to type in school, my sister is the one who taught it to me,
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY” AMEN

AMEN Ms. Palin. Two things: 1) neither We the People nor the Union States have Constitutional Rights. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of “rights” read the article “The Bill of What,” found at the website poorclydesalmanac.info. You’re absolutely right, however, relative to the Union States having any rights. They have powers, duties, and jurisdiction – no rights. 2) The Union State of Alaska, by Constitutional architecture was deemed to be a sovereign. However, it lost its sovereignty by acting as a subordinate organ of government to the federal government. Regaining it is quite another matter. Just saying your Union State is sovereign or attempting to declare it won't do it. Therefore, Resolutions won’t cut it. The first step to sovereignty is to act like a sovereign. Resolutions are like throwing cotton balls at invaders. They might shoot you for your arrogance, but the cotton balls sure as hell won’t stop them. I have a very comprehensive white paper (hopefully to be published in the near future) compiled from years of research explaining how the Union States lost their sovereignty and what they must do to regain it, outlining also the derivative advantages for taking the necessary steps to regain it. I herein offer that manuscript to any elected official of Alaska for the asking. I make the request a condition simply because it indicates a sincere interest, which must first exist in order to make it happen. Cheers, Ken Creamer - emailed request to kcreamer@stny.rr.com.

I wish it was this easy - it plain silliness though. Look at the number of states populated by a vast majority of leftist that are considering the State Sovereignty Resolution (MN, OR, WA). Even if passed in these states, the resolution will be ignored. The only way states can get out from under the federal fist is by succession - pure and simple. Quit wasting your time on silly rhetoric - of course this is the modern repub way tho - lip service to make us all feel better…while the *astards sell our nation to the highest bidders...

What is disturbing of such Legislative Resolutions, the Resolutions shows that the Legislatures of the States have never read the U.S. Constitution for which they have taken an “Oath of Office” to protect and defend.

In the year of 1867, the States altered the Constitution of the United States with an Amendment which resulted in the nullification of the Ninth and Tenth Articles of the Bill of Rights. Upon the purported ratification of the U.S. Constitution, 14th Amendment, the States transferred all of their sovereign powers to the United States. This transfer of sovereign powers may be found at Section Two of the 14th Amendment.

Shortly after the Congress declared the 14th Amendment to have been ratified, the Congress incorporated the District of Columbia (FORTYï·“FIRST CONGRESS, Sess. III, Ch. 62) under the purported authority of the 14th Amendment and from that date forward, brought every State into the Union (including Alaska) as a child corporation of the incorporated District of Columbia (dba United States).

Check it out! All the States that were made a part of the Union before the incorporation of the District of Columbia were brought into the Union on equal footing of the “original” thirteen States. After the incorporation of the District of Columbia, the States were brought into the Union on equal footing of the “several” States. It is common knowledge that the U.S. Supreme Court no longer views a State as a country with sovereign powers, but as a corporation that is foreign to the incorporated United States. (see NY re: Merriam 36 N.E. 505, 14 L.Ed. 287; 20 Corpus Juris 1785: “The United States government is a foreign corporation with respect to a State.”). “Corporations” do not have sovereign powers.

Not all is lost. The 14th Amendment was “rejected” by more than ¼ th of the States in the year of 1867. I have photocopies of all the 1867 House Journals and Senate Journals of the States that recorded their votes of rejection. These Journals may be viewed at www.14th-amendment.com. The only way the States will be able to re﷓-acquire their sovereign powers is to notify the [defacto] President and Congress of the United States that the People and the States will no longer recognize the existence of the 14th Amendment. If the States and the People do not take back their rightful place in the National Government, this Nation will destroy itself from inside out. It is the domestic enemy of Washington, D.C. that I fear, not the enemy of a foreign country.

Thank you for your efforts in identifying some of the major problems of this country. It is true that we are no longer a free country. People in general are very naive in their understanding. They keep beleiving what is no longer ture of this nation—that we are free. We are NOT free as we think we are. Each time a new law is passed, we have lost that much more of our freedom. I have traveled in several countries and find more freedom and peace of mind in some of these places than what exists here. What a shame! It is time our country wake up and stop being so gullible! We need to get back to the basics of the constitution AND the Bible. The so-called "seperation of church and state" is a myth. Our founding fathers believed in the Bible and founded this great (or once great) nation on divine principles found therein. Our constitution automatically ties us to the Bible. I THANK GOD that the founding fathers had the foresight not to establish a state church but left the religious issue open to each one's conscience.But at the same time, they emphatically stated that we do believe in God (that is, the real God of the Bible and not any of the false gods floating around today.) God has promised to bless every nation or poeple who recognize Him, and those who don't are cursed. Our country has been going down since the adoption of the Humanist Manifesto in 1933. This point in time marks a universal departure from the favor of God on our country. It has been getting worse every since. Many wars and diseares and set backs of all kinds have plagued us every since. It is time to get back to the basis and STOP cutting God out of everything in our public life. If a citizen dosen't want to honor God, that is his right and we should not force him against his will. But neither should he force all of America to live accourding to his lopsided view point. Our Supreme Court is so blind and careless in matters such as this that they don't seem to know their right hand from their left. We would be better to scrap this mockery of justice system and come up with something that is in line with our original roots and go from there.

(King Henry does not have the final say so)
STATE OF OKLAHOMA

1st Session of the 52nd Legislature (2009)

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 1028
By: Key

AS INTRODUCED

A Concurrent Resolution claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over certain powers; serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates; providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed; and directing distribution.

WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."; and

WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and

WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and

WHEREAS, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and

WHEREAS, many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and

WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 4 says, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”, and the Ninth Amendment states that ”The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people”; and

WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and

WHEREAS, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 1ST SESSION OF THE 52ND OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE, THE SENATE CONCURRING THEREIN:
THAT the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.

THAT this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.

THAT all compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.

THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's legislature of the United States of America, and each member of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.

- ... everything’s back-ordered out the kazoo!

Not only that, David. Just try getting time in at your local shooting range. Around here (CT, of all places) folks are parking half a mile from the range and waiting up to an hour for a half-hour slot.

Michael,

You said earlier this week that,

Floyd - sadly, I believe you’re correct. The constitution is a compact - and when one side of a compact or a contract violates nearly the entire contract, how is it still enforceable? It’s my opinion that it’s pretty much null and void at this point.

I'm afraid you've applied some alien civics, sir, to the Compact Theory of constitutional law. As Jefferson and Madison clearly stipulate in the Resolves of '98 (and State Legislatures are copying all over the place now, in their 'Sovereignty Resolutions'), the parties to the Compact are The Sovereign States...for, or, and between ourselves. We, the sovereign States, are the parties to the Compact.

Consider the illogic of making the creature of a compact, into one of the parties thereto: Before the Compact is signed and sealed, the creature of that document cannot yet exist. So those who mistakenly believe that the federal government is a party to the U.S. Constitution, have to explain how one party can sit down at a table to sign a compact...but two parties walk away from the table?

No, the Sovereign States are the parties to the Constitution for the united States of America; the federal government is the creature (product, result, creation) of that Constitution.

I think it's also important to remember that the preamble begins "We The People" because the primordial authority in all of our State Constitutions, and in the federal one, is THE PEOPLE. The compacts are merely made up so that the power of the people operates under a legal and organisational framework, rather than the law of the jungle.

I think HCR 66 in the 81st session of the Texas Legislature is one of the best resolutions thus far (including the other one now out in the Texas Lesislature) because it is simply a verbatim quote from Jefferson's KY Resolution.

Of course, the great State of Kentucky, as its 10th Amendment reiteration, has simply re-issued that great work by Mr. Jefferson.

The excellence of those Resolutions is that they do not attempt to chase their tails on single issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc); instead, they just reiterate the LAW: that anything the US Congress is doing, or any law that the Congress has 'enacted' but that is NOT a power enumerated in Art II Sec 8 as having been granted by We the People and the Sovereign States, to the federal creature, IS NULL, VOID, AND OF NO EFFECT.

Sara, I understand your concern. The thought of a sovereign State conjures the image of an independent nation. The actual goal of the sovereign State movement is to return our government to a federalist form of government.

The U.S. was founded on the principle of federalism where there is a federal (general) government with sovereignty in certain limited areas and sub-units (state and local governments) with sovereignty in many other areas.

This separation of powers worked well throughout the 18th and most of the 19th centuries. Beginning in the mid 19th, and accelerating in the 20th Century, the lines drawn between the federal government and the state governments blurred.

Part of this came about as a result of the mindset change from the government staying out of your way so you can prosper to the government being the enabler of your prosperity. This fundamentally flawed approach to government has led to unprecedented federal growth and eliminated the awareness of our federalist form of government.

A return to State sovereignty would not dissolve our Union. In my opinion, certain social programs like Social Security and Medicare will almost certainly remain at the federal level (until it is bankrupted) because it would take some political bravery to devolve these programs to the States. However, there could be a good fight to eliminate or devolve many other federal programs that are duplicated at the State level and allow for more local solutions. Montana is nothing like New York and it is arrogant for people in Washington to believe one size fits all legislation works.

Federal grants in aid have been around since our founding, but they would need to be greatly reduced. Another option is for the federal grants to be block grants instead of categorical grants. Block grants have fewer federal strings attached and would allow the local governments flexibility to determine the best way to utilize the resources.

The Federalist Papers #45 provides the most concise description for our intended government:

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.”

Kim,
Thank you for the warning. I believe that the States must take the initiative if they would like the freedom to provide local solutions to today's problems. How do you propose a State stand on principle today? They can turn down federal money all day long, yet its citizens still pay into the system. The US Congress is not going to voluntarily give up power and influence. They have the arrogance to think they know best and many citizens are trained to look to Washington for solutions to every day problems. I am always open to alternatives to a Constitutional convention, but in my personal judgement, this is a viable way to go.

I understand the risks of a Convention and I appreciate your condescension and caps letters. The Articles of Confederation were scrapped at a convention to discuss improving the Articles. Maybe the result of a Convention would be the scrapping of the electoral college, direct democracy, centralization of power..... I think we are heading in that direction without the benefit of having the Constitution amended to reflect that form of government. In this worst case scenario, at least I would know what I am in for.

In the interest of keeping an open mind, I would like to learn the options States have for regaining sovereignty over the health and welfare of its citizens. I will check out that Google thing and see if it has the answers.

The link below was my thought process for a solution a few months ago; 21st Century Federalism. The federal government would continue collecting income tax but a revenue sharing/block grant program would be in place with money going directly to the States for social, education, and health spending with no strings attached. The federal government could then concentrate on foreign/interstate commerce, international relations, and national defense.

Federalist #45:

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.”

The federal income tax system, along with the strings that are attached for taking federal money, is a deterrent to the States’ ability to promote innovative reforms. Today’s system punishes States that turn down federal money because its citizens have already paid into the federal system. That leads to States lining up at the federal trough and putting programs in place that may not be in the best interest of its citizens.

I am a strong supporter of the 9th and 10th Amendments, but they have been ignored too long. There is another mechanism in place for the States and that is to call a Constitutional Convention to propose Amendments. This would require a strong movement from 34 States to call the convention. 38 States would need to approve any Amendments.

At a Convention called by the States, there would be the opportunity to press for Amendments that would return the federal government to its proper role and allow for the States to resume their role as laboratories of democracy. Items to be discussed would include:
**Repeal of the 16th Amendment (Income tax)
**Review of the Fairtax plan
**More expressed limitations on the power of the federal government
**Other ideas proposed by smarter people than me

With a reduced federal income tax burden, the States would be able to adjust their tax levels to provide the services demanded by its citizens. One size fits all federal legislation would be a thing of a past. If a State chose the path of higher taxes and more government programs, a neighboring State could enact policies that promote personal freedom. Definitive answers would be provided as to what the best paths for prosperity are. Bad policies would be attempted and could be discarded with much more ease than a federal program. Successful programs would be mimicked and improved upon.

I see 25 States listed on this page. We need to write to our State Representatives and make the case for a State's sovereignty. This will not be achieved by looking to the federal government.

Washington bill is dead in the water. No go:

“There are many who want to know the status of HJM 4009. This bill was assigned to the State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee. As is the case in all committees, the Chair of each committee decides if a bill assigned to it will receive a hearing or not. I have been informed that the Chair of this committee has decided to not give HJM 4009 a hearing.

If a bill does not receive a hearing, its progress is stopped and it is essentially dead.”

I would like to point out that any government that exist by itself without another government to put a check on it such as the relationship between state and federal governments will always become just as bad as the federal government now. The reason why is unchecked government authority will always create bad government so any state leaving and existing by itself will always fall into the same trap of uncheck authority. We need a federal government to put a check on state governments and vice-versa so lets think about what our actions will create if states do leave.

Oklahoma residents need to call for the impeachment of the OK governor for the veto of the state sovereignty resolution.

BTW, the reason Libertarian Party members have not joined the Constitution Party is because they are not first committed to the God of Christianity.

In the Founding time of this nation, Virginia and it's residents were national leaders for freedom.

In recent decades, especially under recent Democratic governors, Virginia has turned into a WIMP-minded state, and begs at the trough of the Federal Government!

I have had enough of Virginia's Constitutional lethargy, and this Virginia native is planning for a soon-relocation to South Carolina.

Libertarians Join 9/12 Tea Party March on Washington, Display "Republicans Equal Big Government"
posted by Staff on Sep 13, 2009
Washington - Libertarian Party headquarters staff and interns joined the 9/12 Tea Party March on Washington. After gathering at Freedom Plaza, just blocks from the White House, the march proceeded the 1.1 miles down Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol for a rally.
"Libertarians say Republicans equal big government: $400 billion Medicare drugs, $700 billion bank bailout, $3 trillion budgets, $1 trillion war" read one sign. Other signs displayed "There is only one way to kill capitalism: taxes," and "The drug war: keeping criminals employed since 1971."
Wes Benedict, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party, commented, "As expected, there were lots of Republicans at this event. However, with all of the smiles and thumbs-up we received, you could tell that many people felt little or no allegiance to the Republican Party. There was a constant flow of people stopping to photograph our signs and we passed out lots of Libertarian Party literature and stickers."

"States Rights States" better gear up for battle.

The States that enact, and implement "States Rights" legislation, may very well have to defend their position with force because the Federal government under Obama's directives seeks complete domination over every aspect of our lives and they are not going to let any state and/or individual Americans resist.

Our Freedom(s) are under attack:

As an example: Recent legislation, 2nd Amendment Violations; if you have a gun, in addition to all of the other hoops you jump through and taxes you pay, you must declare it on your income tax return and for each gun that you have, you will be taxed. And you will also be taxed if you have a Gun and a child under 18. And too, the Feds can come to your house and can inspect your house to see where you keep your gun. If it's not in a safe place ( away from your child) you will be fined and serve jail time.

Also the new gun laws, require physical and mental tests, given and graded by the government. And of course, the Gov't can denie you the right to keep the gun you have and/or prevent you from having a gun based on their findings. So. as an example, if the government finds out that you are a so-called "Right-Winger" they will probably determine that you are unstable and should not carry a gun. The Gov't has also put restictions on bullets and supplies and are demanding imprinting systems that impose on privacy issues. And you are not allowed to contest the Governments conclusion of the tests they create and grade. So they in essense, are working to dis-arm us. Anyone wonder, why?

Go to Glenn Beck's web site and see if you can get an archive copy of his most recent programs. A must-see for all that seek to understand what is really going on in our government.

I pray that "States Rights States" are preparing to defend their position with State Militia's and/or adequate force.

PS
Alaska is best suited to successfully secede if it comes down to it because they are rich in resources and they could grow industry if they did not have the Un-American Cap and Trade and Tarp expenses of the lower 48. In addition to the Federal Gov't waging war on them, they would also have to be prepared militarily for a Russian attack.

This site needs updating

Check out Wayne Root Book. The conscience of a Libertarian.
Root for America. He hit the nail right on the head. This book is really worth reading. Please share this with everyone who are freedom loving people.

To have legal sanction, are governors required to sign & submit a tenth amend. resolution after the reps & senate have passed it? Example, Idaho's House & Senate have both signed off but so far as I can tell, the governor (Otter) has not signed it?

ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM: STOP THE ADDICTION!

It's like a relationship, you can't keep repeating the same pattern and expect different results. What have you got to lose voting for 3rd party, except less of the same.

We need to run this slogan like wildfire, this covers all excuse for those people who haven't voted 3rd party.
I suggest all Freedom loving 3rd party like, Boston Tea party, Constitution party, Indepence party, New Whigs Party, band together to make a bigger 3rd party to actually get in Congress and Senate. While I know there are some 1/4 issues that these party don't agree with, they do agree with most and have leaning libertarian views. We need to band together to make a stronger chance otherwise if ego's are involved we again will get nowhere. All candidate don't run for the same office, spread out for congress/senate, better to have 10 run for different office than 10 running for the same office. We'd have a better chance getting some people in.

With talk growing that there should be a National Referendum on the Health Care Bill, and Congressmen saying there is no Constitutional means by which to do such a thing, it occurred to me.

Don't states have the ability to have Referendums? Could we use this issue as a means by which to address Washington? State Referendums on whether or not a state will support this kind of Legislation?

If this is accurate, and I don't know if it is, then wouldn't it naturally follow that we could use this same argument to refuse things such as Stimulus Money and Cap and Trade?

Also, isn't it true that Congress does not have the Constitutional Authority to impose a National Healthcare Plan?

I am working at a 10th Amendment Booth tomorrow at a local fair, and I would like to know if I have this stuff right? Thank you

Tyranny and socialism government stay out of the cowboy state. Wyoming. Stay in your own back yard and stay out of ours. Wyo don't need traitors and cowards. The above has a lot of truth, you decide?

Americans stand up and defend america for what it stands for. The above comments has a lot of truth. State sovereighty/states rights needs to be and tell the feds where to.

Rep. Mac Gibson introduced the HJR 403 to the Alabama House of Representatives during the special session last night...this is the Amendment:

TO AFFIRM THE RIGHTS OF ALL STATES INCLUDING ALABAMA BASED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE NINTH AND TENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

WHEREAS, the Alabama Legislature declares that the people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state, and shall exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right pertaining thereto, which is not expressly delegated by them to the United States of America in the Congress assembled; and

WHEREAS, some states when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, "that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly and particularly delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several states to be by them exercised"; and

WHEREAS, these recommended changes were incorporated as the Ninth Amendment, where the enumeration of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and as the Tenth Amendment, where the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people; and

WHEREAS, the several states of the United States of America, through the Constitution and the amendments thereto, constituted a general government for special purposes and delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving each state to itself, the residuary right to their own self government; now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA, BOTH HOUSES THEREOF CONCURRING, That based on the above principles and provisions, we hereby declare by this resolution, that any act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States, or Judicial Order by the federal courts which assumes a power not delegated to the government of the United States of America by the Constitution and which serves to diminish the liberty of any of the several states or their citizens shall abridge the Constitution. We further declare that acts which would cause such an abridgement include, but are not limited to, each of the following:

(1) Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the states comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that state.

(2) Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of eighteen other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

(4) Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government.

(5) Any act regarding religion, further limitations on freedom of political speech, or further limitations on freedom of the press.

(6) Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and each member of the Alabama Congressional Delegation.

THANK GOD American's are FINALLY opening their eyes, standing up and speaking out. If not, I am sure you will see the country you live in, as we know it will cease to exist. This is not time to sit back and think that others are going to do the job of writing to the proper people; it is YOUR DUTY to do this and NOW. Look up who your representatives are and write to them, tell them of your concerns, the more they hear the people up rise, the more they will listen and know we are serious.

I noticed several states that had nothing going, if you know of anyone who lives in one of these states, family, friends, a business, contact them and encourage them to speak up. You must take a few moments out of your busy day. If you are lucky enough to have a job, a home to live in, perhaps when you sit around your table to eat with your family, while you have a quiet picnic in a state park, as you watch your children play freely in their yard or come home from school, perhaps you are being well taken care of in a hospital (pre-Obama health care reform), whatever it is you are grateful for, use this as your incentive to not sit quietly. God gave us a voice for a reason, He gave us a will to know right from wrong and to stand up against wrong, to fight for justice. Even if you don’t believe in God, can you sit there and not believe in something greater than yourself? Something that is for the good of all? Something that is for the good of someone besides Obama and the Feds?

I have so many in my family who are in the military and who have fought for generations to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave. It would be an insult to them to sit back now and watch what is happening. It would be a crime against our children and grandchildren to realize what kind of world we are going to be handing them and not at least try to stop it.

Our Military goes out to fight for the safety of our country, for people they have never even met. Would you be willing to lay down your life for your mate, your child, your parents, your neighbor? Think about it as you sit in your home on your computer reading this in peace and quiet but know the turmoil that surrounds you. Do NOT be the frog in the pot of water on the stove who’s body kept adjusting to the water and it got hotter and hotter until it didn’t realize it was boiling to death.

We need to show not only everyone else but I think ourselves again just how strong we are as a people and why we are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE. Get those fingers typing to your state reps and send out mass mailings to friends and families.

Depending on how old you are some of you might remember the phrase used when we were first learning to type in school, my sister is the one who taught it to me,
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY” AMEN

California Demo politicians want to change our CA Constitution so that they can get rid of the taxpayer ammedment which requires a 2/3 majority to increase taxes. These tax and spend Devils hate it. Beyond me why anyone other than illegal aliens and their supporters and government workers would ever vote for a Demo. Like cutting your own throat.

Texas governor Rick Perry's states rights talk these past few months has enabled him to erase an electoral deficit and take the lead in his re-election bid:

Wyoming takes a small step on State Sovereignty. Keeping in mind Wyoming's Legislature only has general sessions every other year this is a good first step. Rep. Illoway is working on more for the 2010 session.

A couple of things. First it doesn't sound like the resolution the state of Alaska or any of the resolutions put forth by any of the other states are asking to leave the Union. It just affirms that they are going to ,hopefully, start enforcing the powers given to them under the 10th amendment, over the federal govt.

Secondly, we don't need a Constitutional Convention. We already have the laws in place in the Constitution that we need. It's that over the last how many decades the states have aligned themselves, many times by force, so closely to the federal government that it becomes difficult to tell the difference. We already have a law (the Constitution) that defines where the line between state and federal governments. If no one stands up for the current laws, doesn't mean you need new ones, just start enforcing the current ones.

Take immigration for an example. Someone that is an illegal immigrant, means they are here illegally. There's a law that says "nope sorry that's not the proper way to enter our country." It says if you come into our country in such a way to be illegal, we will deport you. We don't need another law to say that you are not able to receive welfare or other such things. We just need to enforce the existing law and send them back to where they came.

If you don't enforce the current laws then no number of new laws that say the same thing will be enforced.

live free or die

I think the only way we the people are going to get our freedom back from the Fed Gov is to have a Constitutional Convention so we can downsize them to where they belong. Our fore'fathers knew this would happen (loose our freedom's) if we had power hungry people running our Fed Gov.
We have to stop taking money from the fed and figure out how to do things for ourselves as a State, not as a stepchild of the Fed Gov.

Texas governor Rick Perry asserts states rights vs. ObamaCare:

http://www.star-telegram.com/804/story/1504240.html

I wonder if anyone on the posts knows if this bill means that states that pass it are no longer part of the United States. If the states are in fact, like separate countries? I am wondering if states that pass this bill also reject and will not be subject to the laws being put into effect like the Stimulus Bill, the Hate Crimes Bill, Cap and Trade bill and the newest Communist Health Care plan and the eventual Amnesty.
I live in a "Sanctuary city" with liberal idiot politicians that cater to the illegals population and make the rest of us suffer.

So, I want to relocate to a state that rejects the major laws that Barry and his band of criminal elitists put into effect. Also the state must not endorse nor embarce Amnesty.

Thank You, in advance, for your help.

AMEN Ms. Palin. Two things: 1) neither We the People nor the Union States have Constitutional Rights. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of “rights” read the article “The Bill of What,” found at the website poorclydesalmanac.info. You’re absolutely right, however, relative to the Union States having any rights. They have powers, duties, and jurisdiction – no rights. 2) The Union State of Alaska, by Constitutional architecture was deemed to be a sovereign. However, it lost its sovereignty by acting as a subordinate organ of government to the federal government. Regaining it is quite another matter. Just saying your Union State is sovereign or attempting to declare it won't do it. Therefore, Resolutions won’t cut it. The first step to sovereignty is to act like a sovereign. Resolutions are like throwing cotton balls at invaders. They might shoot you for your arrogance, but the cotton balls sure as hell won’t stop them. I have a very comprehensive white paper (hopefully to be published in the near future) compiled from years of research explaining how the Union States lost their sovereignty and what they must do to regain it, outlining also the derivative advantages for taking the necessary steps to regain it. I herein offer that manuscript to any elected official of Alaska for the asking. I make the request a condition simply because it indicates a sincere interest, which must first exist in order to make it happen. Cheers, Ken Creamer - emailed request to kcreamer@stny.rr.com.

where is NY State?

Here in Wyoming, we pretend to be "free and independent". As you can see from the above list however... we lack the spine to do what the majority of other states have done.
.
In the little town I live close to... they all detest Obama "He's a socialist!"... but they willingly pocketed $1,000,000 in stimulus money to repair their sewer system.
.
I call that hypocrisy.

I wish it was this easy - it plain silliness though. Look at the number of states populated by a vast majority of leftist that are considering the State Sovereignty Resolution (MN, OR, WA). Even if passed in these states, the resolution will be ignored. The only way states can get out from under the federal fist is by succession - pure and simple. Quit wasting your time on silly rhetoric - of course this is the modern repub way tho - lip service to make us all feel better…while the *astards sell our nation to the highest bidders...

No doubt the Federal Government would respond by telling everyone to stop this silly nonsense. And if you don't, we'll withhold federal funding until you do.

Sarah Palin is reasserting Alaska's sovereignty vs. Washington D.C.

Is it true that Alaskans could make a lot more money off of their petroleum industry if it wasn't for the Environmental Protection Agency's catering so much to entities like the questionably capitalist Sierra Club?

For Nevada, what does "no further action allowed" mean? Who's trying to stop this? This is exactly what this country needs!
