State Sovereignty Movement on the Rise

With these Governors bucking the stimulus money, how much do State's rights count?

The government is a legalized syndicate. They extort, steal, and enslave.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The 10th amendment reserves whatever powers not explicitly spelled out in the constitution to be reserved for the people and/or the states. It is very clear. There is nothing ambiguous. There is nothing to be explained away or ignored by the Ivy League lawyers.

The states and the people should be completely hacked off at the usurpation of power by the federal branch.

True, most people do not realize states have any sovereignty at all and think of the 50 states as a mere geographic sub division of the Federal government.

mmm

paranoia tastes like chicken

Go a little deeper than your experiences and start looking at their policies and actions. Both parties are taking away liberties. The fight between the two parties keeps people occupied while the state is looting and enslaving us.

I have lived through a number of administrations and I remember my family prospered nicely during the sixties, that is Kennedy and Johnson admins...then suffered the miserable infationary period of Nixon ,Ford,,remember W.I.N. (whip Inflation Now) finally got evened out during Carter, Reagan years. Crashed during the Bush daddy years, remember when he was so connected to the little guy that he didn't even know what a damned scanner was in a grocery store?.then I really did well in the Clinton years..now i find that just about all my gains during the Clinton administration have been lost after Bush II...man that guy did a JOB on all of us! Now given my lifes experiences I have to go with the Dems...I prefer peace and prosperity to war, and economic nightmares...I guess I'm just funny that way

Neocongo, that's what both parties do. You sound really foolish when you act as if either the republicans or democrats are actually on the side of the little guy. They are all their for political reasons, they are there to make the government more power and more money. Government is the biggest corporation and these neocons and Keynesians are blind to that!

When are the American people going to start declaring their sovereignty from the government by reclaiming the Strawman accounts.

The Founding Fathers were trying to protect us from the kind of government that we see today.

They were very fearful of a government that had the ability to infringe on the rights of the people and the rights of the states governments. For too long we have let the federal government abuse it position as the nations government.

We need to remind those idiots on the hill that they cannot walk all over us.

When conservatives are in power, we hear "I'm a uniter, not a divider." When they are out, it's more like, "Long live the South!" rofl

if you live in a state that hasn't yet decided to declare its sovereignty from the feds, you should call the people that represent you and ask them why, what are we waiting for.

The government has not much control over the states. The only reason why states listen to the federal government, is because the federal government will refuse to fund the states (blackmail), if the states don't abide by what the federal government wants.

Glad the states are saying enough is enough. But damn, about bloody time.
