Rohrer, Folmer Plan Rally on Monday to Defend State Sovereignty

Pennsylvania Lawmakers encourage supporters to join them at Capitol event

Politicians in Washington, D.C., have been exerting undue influence on the states and it’s time for them to stop. That’s the sentiment behind a rally Rep. Samuel E. Rohrer (R-128) and Sen. Mike Folmer (R-48) will hold at noon on Monday in the Capitol Rotunda.

“If you think the size and scope of the federal government has far exceeded our Founding Fathers’ intentions, then we hope you come out Monday to support our cause,” Rohrer said. “For too long, Congress and the president have been encroaching on policy areas that ought to be decided by the states. This rally is the equivalent of posting a ‘no trespassing’ sign.”

The rally will focus on a resolution Rohrer is introducing in the House to defend Pennsylvania’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which reads:

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.

Folmer will introduce a sister resolution with language identical to Rohrer’s in the Senate.

“When our country was founded, our Fathers envisioned a form of government in which the federal government served as an agent of the states – not the states serving as an agent of the federal government,” said Folmer. “Today, federal legislation and funding compel states to serve the federal government, a total reversal of the structure originally intended.  This rally seeks to remind federal officials of their constitutional limitations while affirming Pennsylvania’s 10th Amendment rights.”

The lawmakers’ resolutions are part of a larger national trend of state lawmakers who are reasserting the sovereignty of their independent states under the 10th Amendment. At the rally, Rohrer and Folmer will be joined by lawmakers from other states who have introduced similar measures in their own state legislatures.

The rally is free to attend and open to the public. For more information about the rally or to acquire driving directions to the state Capitol, residents are encouraged to visit Rohrer’s Web site at SamRohrer.com.

Rohrer has been "planning" to introduce his bill for weeks. If he doesn't file it on before, during or immediately after his rally, I'd suggest he has plans other than introducing the bill that are taking his attention.

One last thing or these so called representative of the people.

Citi and Aig are using the stolen money to pay themselves incredible bonus's and everyone says we can do nothing. That is a lie!

The government can make any law they want including windfall profit tax laws and tax 100% of any bonus. The government has done that in the past and it is possible now.

But instead the stolen money is being used to steal more property and equipment from the US by corporations who are still getting the loans to steal everything not nailed down in America and ship it overseas along with the jobs! These same corporations while getting new loans are defaulting on the old loans in record amounts!

The same big banks like Citi are not loaning any money out to buy homes, buy cars, put kids into college, keep people afloat, but are buying every local bank they can get there hands on.

The local banks are the only banks still loaning out money!

So this can not be all on accident!

Wake up America and start marching on washington or the banks will take your home, your car and you will be starving to death in tent cities while Pakistan marches on there capitol and gets more things done than the whimpy stupid, idiot Americans who are selling there childrens future!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting.

But will people really understand what is going on? Blogovitch has a sit in to stop the movement of equipment from his state to a third world country which was taking over 100 jobs becuase citi gave a corporation a loan which the corporation used the money loaned to it from citi to steal I mean take the equipment and the jobs. The corporation defaulted on the loan right after they took all the equipment to a third world country to use child and slave labor to produce the same stuff that workers in America produced. Now citi is getting bankrolled or stealing money from the American taxpayer who lost his job after his factory was bought out and all the equipment moved to another country!

Blogovitch was on trial without a jury of his peers the next day! The media said he was guilty the next day! The whole world said he was guilty the next day. Well guess what he has not spent one day in prison and never will. Why? He did not do anything, it is not yet a crime to have thought crime or talk about doing something. Talking about doing something is not the same as doing something! Cell phones are not evidence that is above all law. Big brother is not above the laws of this country yet. But if Americans do not wake up, you will be safer in China! They do not allow cell phone conversations to be admitted into evidence in a court of LAW!

Will everyone wake up!

Or will it take bread lines and mass starvation?

The banks loaned all of America's wealth to corporations which are stealing every job, every piece of equipment, every technological advancement humanly possible to make more money for a few people in other countries. And to add insult to injury the corporations are defaulting on there loans and not even paying the banks back. Then to add more insult to injury the banks are getting bailed out by the very people who are losing there jobs and can not get loans to stay in there homes, buy cars, go to college, or just stay afloat.

IT is all a lie.

Stop worrying about baloney and address the real issue!

The banks are stealing all the money and the future of America and it needs to be stopped now!

The banks need to go bankrupt and all of those people need to find new jobs.

The local banks will get more business and start loaning money again to the local people who need to build homes, buy cars, send kids to college, start new business, start new technology.

Citi and aig are stealing more money than all the cars and homes in America are worth!

Wake up America, call your representatives, email them, start marching on washington demanding banks start loaning again. Look at Pakistan, they are not the wimps and idiots Americans have become!
