Oklahoma HJR1003 Vetoed

  • Share on Tumblr

Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry has vetoed House Joint Resolution 1003.  In a statement released today, Henry said that “there is no need to spend valuable legislative time on a resolution expressing support for any particular amendment or constitutional right”

Here is the full veto message:

“Without question, the state of Oklahoma and its leaders support the U.S. Constitution and the rights it guarantees to the states and their citizens, and there is no need to spend valuable legislative time on a resolution expressing support for any particular amendment or constitutional right. Furthermore, HJR 1003 alleges, without offering any evidence or explanation, that past and current U.S. leaders may have violated the Constitution and committed crimes against the states and the country. HJR 1003 also implies that the state should reject federal tax dollars paid to Washington, DC, by Oklahoma citizens, an act that would prevent our tax dollars from being used in Oklahoma to address critical needs in transportation, education, health care, law enforcement, veterans programs and many other vital services beneficial to our state. In short, HJR 1003 could be detrimental to Oklahoma and does not serve the state or its citizens in any positive manner.”

Had the governor signed the resolution, it would have been distributed to the President, the U.S. Congress and other federal offices as an official statement from the state of Oklahoma.

A two-thirds majority in both the house and senate will be required to override Henry’s veto.

This is a over all out line of why I post this, To think back taxes an gun rights or common defense and or self defense went hand in hand. Why cause in the end taxes could not be in forced on a free self governing people. The only way this could be is if in fact an only if a war was declared on our own soil. This was the mind set of those that knew all to well the facts of the history that lead us to the very war called the civil war and those that wish to would rule with the mind set of monarchy and aristocratic claiming to be able to act as kings or the kings Rule with out any action of accountability from any 0ne.

Congressional constitutional contempt

Hence for the history that lead to the use of U.S. title 42 usc sections 1983 from what Abraham knew from the Sancta MCgelluim the ability of a free governing people to be able to take those that are set to govern to court. Again as it went or was to be taxes and war was so the government in action of defense could pay for the defense of the people and to be able to take care of them as said war was on going as like feeding them so on an so on as any said declared war was on going. As to fact of money to run any government after the fact of a war was to be a matter of free will giving as such was action of the church was with giving. be at it is tithing and offering Free will giving, as for defense or Common defense if you did not pay taxes you could not call on the help of United self governing free people. this idea was to help keep big greedy dicatorship out of ganing control. and becomeing tryants.

The bace of Goverment and Armed service was a lot closer to voluntary Service. Read the feduralist papers the historyical facts are a big worning about goverment bail outs (NO) it leads to bigger goverment let them fail. They use you taxes to back them up...

That is what was to keep Big Obama mind set of government out of our country, We are seeing the fall out of this mind set today and around the world marxism as to bail out the Big goverment run UAW's an the like it comes down to big goverment for goverment by goverment that is why at the bottom of the 1040 it reads voluntary if they want to get rid of big government people should just not pay those taxes. When was the last war declared on u.s. soil I think it was the drug war and in fact it was never a act by congress, up held by vote of the Nation. People need to read the foundation more and really start to lesson to Good old Rush Limbaugh more and know you know the rest of the story, personally I think the native Americans should be given this bail out if in fact it is going to be as they say it is a paycheck ..I say give it to end the wait of the oldest law suit still unsettled in our courts waiting after what the Gold Rush and the Daws act 1887 that took the land from them that we get the very gold that backs the very money this bail out up holds. Let them decide who gets what for a change. anything but what Obama wants let them if they wish give out of free will....

I could not for get I say give the Native Americans the control of what the real -a state companies have and that will in a real big way change government fast why how much land is own by government people... Is that not what the federalist paper spoke for not to happen hence forth the problems with Big money and big government. I find this mind set of those that claim to understand anything of government at all in fact as it comes to this bail out thing is a pay check thing that will last one time what is the point of reducing the interest rate to a person effected by the fall out of foreign over load of Marxism minds the very jobs are still not here, Community incubator systems like what the Amish are is a better answer again the history of Jews the past needs to be read the mind set of charging interest for things It as far as I can read WAS A BIG NO..NO..why are those that say they are so smart saying it is a good thing to let creadit cards be what they are charging more for the thing is worth and then when thing go to crap we are bailing them out that makes no sence at all...better is to give than it is to recive..as for jobs it is like this there are just so many jobs an so many people to work these jobs so many places to build places and so much re-sores....in the end taxes paid out of free will a tithe like the church would run smaller goverment an take care of those that can not work for what ever reason facts are facts...

charging interest big NO NO the jews knew this long ago they knew to have every 7 years a wiping clear of dept because they knew money was worthless, we already have put a flat tax mind set forth it is called sales tax not as that I agree with forced taxation at all if you think about it the mind set of the church and giving is it or does not it sound alot like the sales tax, the over all fail of government starts with the courts in this country time served is time served again probation and parole is a intrusive government made with the mind of war in action running a free people. All these state founded rehab centers and the like are part of it and need to be restructured badly.and any company that supports the after the fact... The people have the power to change this Nation just do not pay the taxes and after a while they will look to those that would be willing to (tithe) or give with out strings that would start the new structure of government why because you would have gotten rid of the Greedy Leaders. big Industry and big government has failed why is Obama trying to patch the holes of a sinking ship...in the end it is not up to him it will be those the people that act to change like deleting credit card companies .....McCain was trying.........As I understood it that is why he was trying to push the flat tax...one we already have it is called a Sales tax...I really see the repeat of History that lead us to as a people detors jails....we are dealing with each day with our courts with jail over crowed by big intruisve action as in parole and probation and all the companyies used to provide so called services after a perosn get out of jail just to keep big government up an running. Why?

we can see the out come of over seas owned and products suppoted stocks....Go foot ball pay them 50 mill a year get rid of the church jerry Springer rules it gave us Obama. A man that would not up hold defense in his own country as a leader of Common defense enforcing taxes with no war on the soil he govern...being showed the way by the anti-gun...anit- ten commandments working with the ACLU that does every thing to work the UN to stop teaching the bible...trying to disarm us is that not the same kind of thing Hitler did....

Thank you warriors for keeping us safe Common defense, May The Uncreated One Yahweh be over Common Defense; Police, S.A.C., F.B.I, N.S.A, C.I.A, Army, Navy, Air force, Coast Guard, U.S.M.C The Core Semper Fi, Always Faithful, Live free or dig your self a deep hole. Faith with out a just action is a worthless faith, Love drove a nail in its hand to show us many things One Being One mans sacrifice Maintains another’s Freedom's by actions of Mercy some times answering the call to arms. For freedom starts with prayer, Love and respectful tolerance leads us to actions of Mercy, Mercy is actions of forgiveness and that leads us to peace and Peace is Freedom and Freedom is and will always be found in Common Defense. God Country Family Core, we get our right to keep and bare arms from the Jews the king that said Jews from this day forward shall have the right to defend self for he understood that through greed evil smiles through insanity evil sings.

In Jesus Name was this nation foundation founded on! Secure in ones own home and self.....and this mind set of government lets have many faiths living with out war’s

"To be able to live with out fear of retribution from a government"...Jesus’ words "I did not come to condemn but to be a light there for in"...freedom speech...proverbs 27.5 better is an open rebuke then a concealed love.

Should the rest of the unsold land that rest in the hands of real a state agents should it be given over to the Native Americans to let them decide what to do with the money and land.
Read U.S. Title 42 usc section 1983 & Sancti MCgelluim

as for this pay out thing for the Nation personally should native Americans should get it all and call it even oh yes and the rest of the land, after all if was not for them and the land we took we would not have the GOLD all this money backs up any way end there wait. I say give them hafe what Gold up holds.

Do you think he is a Good leader as he to be according to the nations foundations with the leader of common defense and self defense, but yet he would not uphold defense in the usa as to the man he help make sure went to jail for defending him self in his own home from a intruder. With a gun! Check out the N.R.A for details. Heck even supporters of Communism up hold defense! should we look back the cold war cuba an Emperor's bomb October 1961 tsar the old Soviet Union

(6.) If in the end Government was to be for defense (Common) and the general welfare of the people to take care of them as taxes to fund it all only in force-able if in fact a war was declared or our own soil for defense of the people general well being. Hense forth why taxes are truly voluntary after the fact of war. Then why is he calling for bigger government the only war that has been declared on our own soil has been the war on drugs and that was not an action by congress. Or was it! upheld by the vote of the nation. The facts about the (Pot) drug wars what happen to the up holding of the Genvea convention you could not jail any one and or hold or try any one for crimes of war till the war was what over...leave the Pot alone teach it for what it really is. look at history is was used with world war two they deeped the cigerats in hemp oil to treat PTSD. oh yes Drug testing we can the facts of Obama mind sets that will not up hold the Nations foundations why cause drug testing is self in crimization..What happen to being able to be sucure in ones self an home with out fear of the goverment....

It was the mis-use of the Urim Thurimm the understanding of geomagnetic anomalies of uncreated one Yahweh God and its effects on the minds of man.....and is the base for the book I am working on.

Ravi - History shows that "states rights" is a cover for the most monstrous bigotry and trampling of individual rights. Jim Crow? Slavery? Laws restricting religious, racial, and ethnic minorities from moving into a state?

hihoze
hihoze

Ravi: You are wrong and don't know American history. States rights were used to defend slavery by the southern states but the northern States opposed slavery and passed laws against it, yet the federal government stepped all over the rights of the northern states and their laws against slavery, So the federal government ended up defending and promoting slavery against the rights and Constitutions of the member states from the north. Eventually, the citizens of the northern states took matters into their own hands, (as they have the independent right to do) and abolished the Whig Party, created the Republican Party and watched their southern party members flock to the Democratic Party. The Civil War did not end the Constitution or the Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, it created a Republican Party that won control of the White House (President Lincoln) and enforced the will of the northern states on the federal government. The Democratic Party is a traditional party of bigotry and slavery and now Marxist ideology. The Democratic Party is more in line with the Tyranny of Marx than the freedom of Madison. Beware of what you wish for because the tyranny of a central government that usurps the rights of the states and its citizens will force for good or ill anything they want. We have 50 states that can experiment and the best ideas are adopted by the others, whereas a central planner in DC offers no alternatives. Marxism is death to individuals and slavery of the masses. Marxism is revolution without governance. Madison is individual freedom for the masses to govern themselves. Your ideas will always have more open examination and a chance to win the day among your fellow citizens that it ever will to a central all powerful government.

I see I've found the cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs site. Wake up, brainiacs - no state is sovereign, and the Civil War finalized that issue. Even as long ago as Andrew Jackson the concept that states could trump the federal government was thumped. Its 2009, not 1789; go back to your muskets and whale oil lamps and leave constitutional analysis to grown ups.

They must over ride his veto!!!! Brad Henry is as bad as the rest of them!

This is defiantly something to uses in a election against him, can just imagine how it would look to know that he has betrayed the people of Oklahoma.

He just wasted the legislators time, they already did all the work HE vetoed it forcing them to do even more work. If this really was a wast of time he would have just signed it and gotten it over with.

"there is no need to spend valuable legislative time on a resolution expressing support for any particular amendment or constitutional right."

Am I missing something? Hadn't the legislative time already been spent? Hadn't it passed? Now, it will go back to the Congress and use up time. Is it me, or is this governor very confused about how these things work?

Henry's out of touch with his people, or is more in touch with who he wants to work for when he leaves office in OK. I favor the TX govenor who has the brass to be a true patriot and lead the people who stll believe we are governed by a republic, as the US Constitution states. He forgets that he, and "they" work for us.

Ben -- see my previous comment (04/25/09, 2:20 a.m.) The Resolution will be sent back to the OK Legislature, where a 2/3 vote by both chambers will override Henry's veto. The House will vote overwhelmingly in favor of it again, just as they did before (when they passed it 83-13). The OK Senate is a little more worrisome, because although there is a Republican majority, the Senate's vote on April 15 was only 29-18 -- definitely not a 2/3 majority.

If worse comes to worst: Assuming we're still allowed to have elections in 2010, Sen. Randy Brogdon is running for Governor. If he wins, I think the Resolution's passage and signing into law is a foregone conclusion. That is, if it's not too late ....

What a spineless act! Oklahoma's governor is a stooge! Anyone read his veto message? There's no need to spend time supporting the Constitution? If he had any hutzpah, he'd have been honest and said, "There's no need to spend time curbing abuses of the Constitution." What a weenie. As far as the statement that he's "afraid it would do harm to his state's ability to get federal funding back," did he not miss that it was just a resolution? Perhaps one that might lead to his state's citizens not being taxed by the federal government so much in the first place? What a wuss. I hope Oklahomans see him for the disgrace that he is - a traitor to their own state.

Hmm, the previous page said there were 4 comments, yet when I clicked, there weren't any. This comment, therefore, may repeat what someone else has already said. Anyhow: All the veto means is that HJR-1003 will be sent back to the OK Legislature, where a 2/3 vote by both chambers will override Henry's veto. He's been pretty much despised here for years (except for bringing the lottery in), and I don't know anyone who's not glad his term is up in 2010.

How sad. I was looking forward to seeing the first state soverignty resolution get signed. Now, let's keep an eye on Alaska. It passed both houses... if the lovely Sarah Palin signs it, she will gain tremendous credibility among constitutionalists like us (although she's already in my good graces).

States' rights is absolutely essential for liberty. I'm not sure if we're going to be able to get this thing passed here in MO though.
