Here are more links to the quiet movement of states.

I guess the numbers of states are quickly rising 20+.

www.worldnetdaily.com...



NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado
, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.

"What we are trying to do is to get the U.S. Congress out of the state's business," Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon told WND.

ACTUALLY, at least one state passed a bill/resolution like this in the 1990's to try to curb what the Federal Government was doing!

If you look at the links that Realtruth provided in the OP, you would see that at least Georgia was questioning the Federal Governments power back then!

From one of the OP's links, ...

Georgia Senate - 1995/1996 Sessions


SR 308 - U.S. Constitution - state sovereignty under 10th Amendment
******SKIP******
A RESOLUTION

1- 1 Claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the
1- 2 Constitution of the United States over all powers not
1- 3 otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government
1- 4 by the United States Constitution
; and for other purposes.

1- 5 WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
1- 6 United States reads as follows:

1- 7 "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
1- 8 Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
1- 9 reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"
;
1-10 and

1-11 WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of
1-12 federal power as being that specifically granted by the
1-13 United States Constitution and no more
; and

1-14 WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment
1-15 means that the federal government was created by the states
1-16 specifically to be an agent of the states
;




Seems like some people, at least in Georgia, saw this grasping of power by the Fedreal Government coming!

Kudos to them!

They are claiming sovereignty from some of the laws that the Federal Government is claiming that they have power to enforce the states to abide by!

We're not talking about the bailouts really right now, but how much power the Federal Government now tries to use to control things in individual states that they were NEVER given the power to use/enforce!

That's what I was going to say. I live in Georgia and I saw that this was started in 1995/96. Not very new to us.

Oh I understand that. I just find it ironic that they want that, but still want fed money at all when we know fed money comes with conditions.

This is all basic Economics 101. Anyone who graduated high school and can read should know what this economic stimulus really means.

Make some phone calls, write some e-mails, do whatever you can to influence your state. Get others involved as well. Or move to a neighboring state.

Texas is in better shape than all the others. They were a country when brought into the USA. The constitution forbids the annexation of another country, only territories. Plus there was some monkey buisness when they did it, just like the 16th amendment was never legally ratified according to state by state records.

Thank you for that information. I will do some research to determine exactly how that effects us. I would still like to see Texas stand with the other states to provide a stronger voice.

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:

Washington

New Hampshire

Arizona

Oklahoma

California

Georgia

Possibly: Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Montana, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, Illinois.

"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).




Dang, what about Texas!!!!!
