9+ States have now declared sovereignty, now add Washington to the list.
Arizona State Legislature for formulating a bill that declares their state sovereignty. That same bill further details their right during martial law to call back servicemen to protect the state:
"…if the President or any other federal entity attempts to institute martial law or its equivalent without an official declaration in one or more of the states without the consent of that state … individual members of the military return to their respective states and report to the Governor until a new President is elected…"
In case you didn't hear about it on the mainstream media (which you haven't because they want to keep us asleep), numerous states are currently declaring or have already declared sovereignty, including:

"The Tenth Amendment was intended to confirm the understanding of the people at the time the Constitution was adopted, that powers not granted to the United States were reserved to the States or to the people. It added nothing to the instrument as originally ratified." — United States v. Sprague, 282 U.S. 716, 733 (1931).
Key, R-Oklahoma City, said he thinks many federal laws violate the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states the powers not delegated to the federal government “are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” The Constitution lists about 20 duties required of the federal government.
“We, the people in the states, created the federal government,” Key said. “They act like they created us and we’re under their authority, and that’s really not the case.”
What’s proposed?
Key’s resolution states the federal government should “cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.” A resolution is a formal expression of opinion, will or intention voted by legislators.
“It’s to help try to get us back to following the Constitution and try to preserve our constitutional form of government,” Key said. “The federal government continues to violate it more and more. It’s gotten so bad that they pretty much do whatever they want and get away with just about anything they want to get away with.”

Thank you for posting the full list of States involved, I went through the whole other thread and couldn't find a list. Wow, this really hits home for me. How possible is this? Would it have to be after martial law is called?
Could we actually see the time when States fight one another? And what of the military? Who's are they if the US breaks up? Too many questions I know but my head is reeling on this.
How on earth could I go to war with any state in this Union, as I have friends and family in almost every state.
During his speaking time on Thurs, Congressman Sherman stated explicitly, "Many of us were told in private conversations, that if we didn't pass this bill on Monday, the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points, another couple thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be Martial Law in America if we voted no(to the bail out bill)."

Excuse me but why now?, why not when the nations was been raped by the disastrous bad policies during the Bush administration.
Why now. itsn't kind of late now, most states are bankrupted, unemployment is high and the many states are running out of funds.
Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change

I don't think I'll ever see Virginia up there.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

Very good post. Too bad Utah isn't in there yet. Things seem to be heating up for sure. I am hoping for the best.
