Funny you don’t hear about this from any of the Obama adoring media.
Human Events reports that 11 states have already moved to declare sovereignty:
“These states — Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas — have passed resolutions reminding Obama that the 10th Amendment protects the rights of the states, which are the rights of the people, by limiting the power of the federal government. These resolutions call on Obama to “cease and desist” from his reckless government expansion and also indicate that federal laws and regulations implemented in violation of the 10th Amendment can be nullified by the states.”
Human Events points to liberal congress members and their willingness to step all over the United States Constitution, using as an example the push for a representative in Washington DC:
“The current push to give Washington, D.C. a voting representative in the House of Representatives is a good example; even liberal Prof. Jonathan Turley told a Congressional hearing that this bill is patently unconstitutional. But they press on with it.”
NewsWithViews does a good job breaking down the reasons for individual states to take such action, gun rights, free speech rights and abortion to name a few:
“According to political experts such as strategist Mike Baker, Americans are becoming disenchanted with the federal government’s lack of perspective on issues of great concern — illegal aliens, crime, economic turmoil — while intruding into the private lives of citizens with gun-control laws and other intrusions.”
Well, this certainly is change. Especially when you consider that a move to declare sovereignty by so many individual states has not happened in the lifetime of anyone reading these words right now.
