Whatever it is and whoever wrote it, it's so broadly worded that I can't see that it means anything that is not already in the US Constitution.

If it's real, Oklahoma is going to spend a lot of time in federal court arguing over every last federal law and mandate that has ever or will ever be made.

It all can be boiled down to this. The Constitution gives specific powers to the federal government, which shall act as an agent of the states. All powers not specifically granted to the federal government shall be held by the states.

Most here won't remember, but this is the very reason there was so much turmoil in the South during the sixties. By 1965, states rights had been crushed and nothing short of a civil war will reinstate them.

What's more most Americans don't know what it's like not having the federal government involved in their daily lives and wouldn't know what to do if the federal government was limited to the extent that is mandated by the Constitution. Consider Katrina.

The good news is there will still be Monday Night Football and an NFL Season!

Just to clarify something incase it was missunderstood, OK is not seceding, this is more of a face slap to the federal government then anything. A good start none the less

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the NAFTA Corridor in relation to this. What, if any, effect would this have on the corridor project which will cross through Oklahoma?

Ive got a great idea to make a difference I hope I can get the Folks to back me up here as it would benefit everyone. Hopefully a mod supports this Idea and agrees a thread and a movement is warranted so here goes

-At least one ATS member per state start a petition and you tube campaign Citing the same articles that Oklahoma did . Get Local Support.

-The owners of this site put a call into RON PAUL . His Campaign party may not take this seriously unless Owners of a Site like this were to call and explain that support was in each state ready and already motivated.

Our request would be To give the citizens of each state a "diagram and assurance" of how a new united states could be Organized modeled after the original constitution ,(A lot of folks dont know how it was before the fed)
after each state had declared sovereignty from this Country The United States

Ron Paul would be a person that shares our desire for our country to be truly free again.

Many before me have mentioned the sovereignty but not the complete plan to ensure a reunited body of states.

Look people, realize this, what happened in the sixties and earlier in history as far as non violent protesting is over.. Try holding a sign in DC and see how far you get . They just arrest you under some bs homeland sec clause.

So I propose we do what we can legally .

A- Each state Declares sovereignty over itself then proceeds to secede from the US

(Without Ron Paul and A solid Government "Schema" pre developed the following would be chaos.

B- New Congress, house and ,senate elected in democratic vote New centralized government formed.

C- Reconstruction

Whether you like Dr Paul or not I think if he realized folks would do this in each state he would support us with funds and personal help. I can see him removing himslef from the presidintal race to help us.. Well maybe not but what the other option.

WAR FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES !!!!!!!!!!!!! ID RATHER LIVE ON A HAMMOCK IN THE WOODS chewing on bugs

Looks like maybe Oklahoma is't so backwards at all... Whats a good location to move to? Who knows... maybe the next step will be seperating from the Union.. the federdal goverment has overstepped there boundries on everything... The States do in fact have more power then federal... they need to be seriously reminded of that.

Just checked the BBC for any info on this and found nothing as expected.

Surely if this was real someone would report it? I'll be watching out for some official confirmation, but otherwise this is music to my ears. Oklahoma, you rule!

And since it's been discussed I'll add I have immense respect for the native American tribes, they should definitely take their well deserved sovereignty back.
